Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Battleship was originally a pencil-and-paper game for two players dating from World War I, although Milton-Bradley would like you to believe they created it a half-century later. It was adapted to computers as far back as 1979 (for the Z80 Compucolor). The Milton-Bradley set-up has two identical plastic half-boards, one red, one blue. Each half has two 10-by-10 sections: one flat one with peg holes where you place the ships, and a vertical section with peg holes which has the dual purpose of marking where you fire your shots and hiding where your ships are from the other player. Both grids are labeled with letters in one direction and numbers in the other, A to J and 1 to 10 respectively. |
