I think it’s for Russian knock off version of Battleship and not the real version. Especially with the talk about all 5 ships being carrier sized 5 peg ships.
The game is actually over a century old - at least in Russia, it first appeared at the edge of XIX and XX centuries. In the US, Starex started making notebooks for the game in 1931.
The Milton Bradley/Hasbro Battleship, which seems to be the most recognizable internationally as the Battleship game, appeared only in 1967. So, it is a knock-off of a knock-off, actually, made almost a century after the original.
We also don’t typically use a board, we just use a white checkered sheet of paper, which seems to be one of the classic versions of the game. But ship figures for the game did exist as long back as the early XX century.
Blagh blagh blagh. No one gives a shit it started with pencil and paper. It’s been a board game for like 60 years and the picture in this post is of the board game. LL
How odd that they would bother changing the rules regionally.
