My youngest son's first tonnage!!

ReallyDedPoet · 01-07-09, 07:44 PM

Ok, so it's Battleship, and the basic version at that, but...

He sank all but my Patrol Boat

, as you can see I did not sink much of his fleet. As he is only 5, he got three trys to my one and I allowed him to sneek a few peeks

But hey, that's what father's do

It's fun playing the game again as I played it a lot as a kid. Kids are having a ball
with it.

I'd say this is victory anyways, since the patrol boat can't do anything. Its always a sad day when a kid bests their father though....

You should challenge him to a Silent Hunter tonnage battle!

Congrats to your son.

Be more aggressive. lol:rotfl:

It's even sadder when they grow up and don't want to hang around and play with you anymore.

I used to have Battleship on Commodore 64 (tho, not sure if it was called BS, cant remember). Awesome game it was.

Yeah, I am hoping ( I have three boys ) they don't think they are to
cool to hang around with their old man when they get older.

Should mention that my oldest lad can now beat me in NHL 09'. Took him
awhile, but he is there.

@ Dowly, I didn't know the game was on the PC before.

They get older so fast.

I'll quit blubbering now.

As a matter of fact I think I'll give my son a call right now .

Nothing wrong with blubbering a bit, is comes with the " parenting " territory
doesn't it
