Description
Created for the Battleships Game
Game Period: 01-Jun-2021 00:00:00 to 31-Jul-2021 23:59:59 AEST
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.
A writing stick would be handy
Please replace as found for the longevity of the cache
Please enjoy the series

Hoping to collect some ammunition for the Battleships Game we headed out today to reload our cannon in preparation for firing.
Many thanks OldSaint for creating this Geoart series and adding to our geocaching experience today.
No log trucks today and a nice quick find here.

Have visited this area before and it certainly deserves a cache. It was very quiet here this morning and the area looked very pretty. Our GPS was very unsettled so it was pocketed and we headed to the nearest object matching that mentioned in the hint. As we approached one of us spotted something a little out of place. One closer inspection we found the cache, a container we hadn't seen used this way before. Unfortunately it isn't water proof and the cavity was full of water. The log was well bagged and dry. We dried the cavity and replaced the log in its sealed bag.
Thanks for this cache in your Hearts in the Hartz GeoArt OldSaint. A lovely spot for a cache.

Hi OldSaint....after completing the remaining BS caches it was off to the Southern Forests to tackle your series of caches placed for the BS games.
Thoroughly enjoyed the variety of exc hides and a lot of different cache types.
I knew it wouldn't be long before I came to a tricky hide.
Searched one spot, then another and another to no avail.
Some head scratching but the gpsr was now pointing back to my original search area.
Around and round I went...close to giving up when I spotted what looked like an eye peering at me
...exc hide...big sigh of relief...with cache in top nick.
I left home at 0435 and drove 840km to finally get home at 2005...a full 15.5hrs.
Many thanks for placing this excellent series of caches...thoroughly enjoyed....cheers ST.

We were in town early afternoon and thought we would head further south to find this cool Hearts in the Hartz geoart. Luckily it was fine and very calm conditions so we had a very enjoyable afternoon hunting down caches. The hints were used as in some cases the GPSr arrow wandered in the undergrowth and heavy cloud. All caches were found and signed. We enjoyed the variety of hides and the safe places to pull off the gravel road. We only saw 1 empty log truck and a few cars. Thanks OldSaint for placing in time for the Battleship games. Found on the obvious stump! TFTGA

Hi Oldsaint
Was out and about today collecting a few GCA caches while the weather was ok. Some blue sky was about - but not much. Didnt get rained on, so an advantage there.
Second in a series of clever, different and well organized caches including some great parking spots.
This cache had a very wet log book, so I replaced it

I drove round to pick up the goose at 9 with no firm plan of where we were going, but with four GeoArts to pick from we had options, after a talk with goose and a weather update from our barista we picked Battleship to start our day, while a little damp it didn't rain too much to put us off and we made some great finds before finishing the 48 caches off and heading into NN for a feed.
As we enjoyed pizza I talked goose into the fact that we could 'nip' down to Judbury if we used the back road and finish the day doing Hearts in the Hartz series along with a few other caches on the way.
After the easy battleships we were not loving these hearts at all with some of the hides being right stinkers and more than once I expressed my feeling on the matter "I say Goose I do believe that Old Saint may have out done himself this time, as pleasant as it is to stand in inches of water with twigs in my ear I do feel that I may have to have polite chat with old saint about this very matter"
This is clearly not what I said at all but is the GCA approved translation of what I actually said 2 or 3 times.
I had a great time today so would like to thank OS and Budge for putting these GeoArt out for me to find.

After winning the battle of Glen Dhu, SSR had the bright idea of just nipping down the Plenty Road to the Huon to find Hearts in the Hartz (plus a couple of GCs). The weather had turn ordinary on the drive down but after a bit of slipping and sliding we made it.
We ended up searching in the dark by the pathetic light of our phones. We had been around the particular stump and missed the cache, searching many more of all sizes before checking the correct one again,although it was sheer luck my light caught it.
Thanks for the Hearts in the Hartz series OldSaint.

We were in the area so decided to grab a couple of recently published caches before we headed back home. We are looking forward to returning to find the rest. Thanks for placing these caches for our enjoyment.
A road that carries fast moving log trucks - please be careful
A series hidden and ready to be found
