We all know what a tough ship the Akagi is….its been there taking everything that the TMPers can throw at it, but the time has come to send this menace to the deep.

Inspired by the game of Battleships- here are the rules.

- There is grid of 1-10 on one axis and A-J on the other.
- Only one shot per TMPer
- You choose a grid reference (eg A-5) for your shot
- The next TMPer then decides if its a hit or miss and posts HIT OR MISS

Example:
TMPer1: A6
TMPer2: Miss
TMPer3: B6
TMPer4: Hit!

- Being a tough and agile ship the Akagi will need 7 Hits to sink her.

Good Hunting!

Agaki? Sorry, if you had said Akagi I might have played. I only do historicals.

Oh wait that was on the sub board, I don't think Akagi is on that one!

Radar reports that she's taking evasive action…..

I say we nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

What?! You knew somebody was going to say it.

Miss. (Dude!!)

I'd rather be playing Never Get Started Sink the Akagi. Oh, wait, I am.

Which reminds me, for those in the know … you just lost The Game.

Jovian101 Apr 2009 3:56 p.m. PST

B4 we get to carried away with this game – shouldn't there be some thought on what happens when we finally get sufficient hits to sink it? Perhaps someone here needs to commission Mal Wright to paint another picture so we can have it for another year or so?

Jovian101 Apr 2009 3:57 p.m. PST

Oh – and @ kyoteblue = HIT!

The Monstrous Jake01 Apr 2009 4:08 p.m. PST

All your base are belong to us.

What about the Akagi air group? Probably up to no good.

Mike G01 Apr 2009 4:18 p.m. PST

G 20 oops, that should be over at the Blue Fez.

Mikhail Lerementov01 Apr 2009 4:19 p.m. PST

IT'S AGAKI! Not the AKAGI! Sheesh. What are our schools teaching these days. Makes it a totally fantasy game. Told you I only do historicals. Much more, well, historical.

Phillipaj01 Apr 2009 4:24 p.m. PST

Mikhail- spoken like a true TMPer! I salute your devotion to historical veracity.

you see the Agaki/Akagi was using counter measures and had faked her markings…. how do think she's lasted this long…?

Sorry unrepentent and badger, but due to the global financial situation squares H5 and F6 have been closed.The Akagi might be there but she is no longer owned by Jap Navy (inc). Please accept this refund and have another try.

Mikhail Lerementov02 Apr 2009 4:26 a.m. PST

Kyoteblue, that would be a Paj carrier at Dimway. You're in a fantasy world where your after the Agaki! Might not be a carrier but a space going battleship.

I tried this last month. It is unsinkable.

Be an anarchist, shoot at G-20!

Phillipaj02 Apr 2009 2:14 p.m. PST

That's Five Hits so far- lads well done!

She's leaning but still under power, looks like her rudders damaged and she's going in circles to port!

Only two more hits and she's a goner…..

7 Hits to sink her!

I think Phil is cheating……

Phillipaj03 Apr 2009 9:34 p.m. PST

I so am not = It's the fog of war….

but she's definitely going down… who will get the final shot in and undying TMP fame?

archstanton7303 Apr 2009 11:19 p.m. PST

Miss…

Phillipaj05 Apr 2009 10:16 p.m. PST

Well I think she's run aground- here's footage from one of our spies: YouTube link

Jovian107 Apr 2009 8:25 a.m. PST

Indeed – it would appear that Mal has painted an unsinkable ship.
