New Battleship series

[Buy_The_Tie]

Geographically. We will try and pick up all of the caches in a given area. We take whatever “hits” and “misses” we come up with. I suppose once we get the grid filled in a little bit more, we might make some strategic strikes.

Just curious on this series . . . Are people playing this like the “Battleship” game, making enough finds to sink all the ships and get the final, and then letting it sit for awhile before getting the other caches (or at least getting the rest after the final), or are people looking to do all 106 caches before considering it complete, for their own purposes?

Those of you who are working on this series or who have completed it, how are you doing this one?

I did all of them in a geographic area (first in the Hartland-ish area then all of them South of I-94 in Milwaukee) and now have about 70ish done. I now know where the last 4 hits are to sink 3 ships and where three possible hits are to sink the last ship….now I can just go to those locations or finish all 100…the jury is still out on how I will finish the series. I had two DNFs due to missing containers so that does make me tend to want to just go to those last few locations as I now have open holes in the board ( and I hate to have to revisit to clear up the DNFs).

Being in school, I took the time to cover areas until I knew for sure where the hits were. Then I went for the Victory. I stil need to do homework and attend classes and watch the boys (Jerry has the flu) so time is a premium, but I wanted to accomplish the final on this one. It took me 9 days. Five of those we cached when we could but with little kids you can only go so long. We will be finishing them all but we can take our time on the misses, maybe! 😉

You could always tell when you switched into a different hiders “territory” because of the switch in cache containers and/or the type of hide. So the variety of hides/cache containers was exciting and seeing that “hit” with the ship’s missing coords was motivating. Being “driven” by numbers, priority #1 was to get them all 107 total! Got the last one today after school. Tami
Some are not winter friendly or leaf friendly for that matter. But they are all findable…just follow the geo-trail.

Geographically. It took 3 full days. I worked on the complete grid for my own satisfaction, visiting both hits and known misses. And then I did all the ships at the end.

I’m wondering how this series made it on to the COTM Honorable Mention bookmark list and its not the end of the month!

(I noticed it a few days ago)

If a cache is nominated (win or lose), it makes it to the COTM Honorable Mention list. After the end of the month, if the series wins, I would imagine that the HM will be replaced with the COTM notation. “Battleship” was nominated; therefore, the least it could be is HM.

It’s too bad the typo Bartleship couldn’t be changed to Battleship.
Oh well, contest ends ina few hours. Tami

Woohoo! Someone is actually looking at my bookmark list!
