Play Battleships. Sink the enemy ships before they sink you!

On your entry to the game you will be asked to create a playing area with a number of sea tiles. Your playing field is a grid 20 x 20 sea tiles making a total number of 400 possible areas you can target in your game of Battleships.

A playing field is unique to each player so there is no benefit in teaming up to beat the system through brute force. For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a sea tile and see whether you have make a hit.

There are a number of different sea tiles that will be revealed when you take a shot at your playing area . It should be noted that there are no punishments for clicking a tile but there will not always be the reward you were hoping for as you reveal each tile.

You only receive points for a hit on a ship. Alas, shots that miss a target offer no reward.

Qualifying geocaches fall into two categories. Finds and Hides. A qualifying find is a geocache that meets the following criteria:

• The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia

• The geocache was logged on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period
• The geocache was physically found by you during the game period
