“Battleship is known worldwide as a pencil and paper game which dates from World War I. It was published by various companies as a pad-and-pencil game in the 1930s, and was released as a plastic board game by Milton Bradley in 1967. The game has spawned electronic versions, video games, smart device apps and a film.” In our simplified version of battleship, a board can be thought of as a grid of potentially attacked positions along with one or more ships each of which occupy one or more positions.
