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
Be careful here
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, a pleasant drive on a mild winters day with a dusting of snow on the Hartz.

This was another very quick find with the cache in good order. The area beside the road was very soft and muddy resulting in muddy boots for Mrs Y'syassie when she landed in a very soft section after jumping what she thought was sloshy spot.
We noticed that several of the height measuring chains had been hit with enough force to flip them over the bar.
Thanks for this cache OldSaint and the series. We appreciate the time and effort you put into selecting, preparing and hiding each cache in this GeoArt series. We also appreciated that all hides had parking that enabled the cacher to pull well off the roadway.

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.
Sadly...this was the last cache in a great series...a fav series... with cache in top nick.
Had lunch here before continuing the journey up the Hartz Rd.
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. A fitting place to stop. Thanks for the fun. 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.
Part of a series of clever, different and well organized caches including some great parking spots.

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.
SSR parked me in a swamp so I left him to grab this cache whilst I stayed warm and dry.
Thanks for the Hearts in the Hartz series OldSaint.

Last find for the day with Newy71 at 1450hrs. Was a fun day and with a flat tyre to change in the rain on the way home.
TFTC and thanks for this GeoArt series. Newy07

Was to be our 12th and last find for the day with Newy07. The rain was coming down but we raced to the barrier to see who would find it first. Another *FTF* for me 
Score 6 firsts to Newy07, 4 to me. Was a great day. Ended with a flat tyre on the gravel road in the rain outside of mobile service. Gave us something to remember our great day
TFTC and thanks for this GeoArt series OldSaint!
