Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the tokens or pieces.
Referring now more particularly to Fig. 1 of the drawing, it will be apparent that, the game apparatus of the present invention will include a board 10 of any suitable material such as cardboard which may be of any size, and which is preferably twentytwo inches long and sixteen inches Wide. The board 10 is capable of being folded at its middle. The board on one face thereof has a diagram which may be printed to present what will be known as a battle area 11 and token or piece areas 12. The battle area 11 is subdivided by parallel lines 13 into goals let. There are twenty-five of the lines 13 spaced equidistantly, the space between the lines representing a distance 15 of one knot. Each of the goals 14 consists of three knots. At the dividing line of each goal there. appears indicia or designations 16, respectively, as follows: Starting goal, First goal, Put reserve ships in action, Second goal, Put disabled ships in action, Main goal and Last line of retreat. The said indices or designations occur at the dividing lines of the several goals 14 and are duplicated. It will therefore be understood that two playing sections are provided for opposing players. It is to be noted that each starting goal of each playing section occurs between the Main goal and the goal Last line of retreat, and'that there are distances between the Starting goal and the goal Last line of retreat and the Starting goal and the Main goal. The battle area 11 does not take up the en tire surface of the board 10 but allows mar ginal spaces at each side of the board. At each corner of the board 10 there is a group of three token or piece areas 12. Each group of areas 12 is similar. One area 12 contains the legend Put reserve ships here. the second contains the legend Put disabled ships here, and the third contains the legend Put sunken ships here. Places 17 serve for containing advertising matter and the name by which the game is known which may be any preferred name.
