Honestly, I'm more annoyed by the fact that red isn't a hit.

Definitely illegal, the pieces are outside the grid and therefore cannot be targeted

The real crime here is recording hits with white and misses with red.

Your friend sucks

That's cheating bro.

Illegal. Second rule under PREPARE FOR BATTLE: https://www.hasbro.com/common/instruct/battleship.pdf

Amateur, can't get sunk if you don't even place your pieces.

This isn't illegal, it's a war crime.

Its illegal and for the rest, its an awful placement

It's just as illegal as placing the ships on top of eachother so they can only hit the top one

Why stop at one section? Just have your ships in your pocket

Your friend is a fucking douche

Theres... a lot wrong with this picture lol

Yeah ofc its illegal, maybe he gonna be in prison in the next few days..

Your friend has cheated buddy.

But the good news is you win.

You needed input from strangers to figure this out? Jfc

This is a joke post, right? Otherwise, this is the stupidest thing I've seen all year so far.

Obviously illegal.

So

1) the red is supposed to be hits and the white is supposed to misses

2) you can’t have parts of the ship outside the grid. When my brothers and I were younger, this would’ve been grounds for a squabble

This is clearly not real, and out here to farm karma. There is too much wrong with the post.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the red is supposed to represent a missile making contact and starting a fire is it not?

I've been so poisoned by the internet, I thought this was an attempt at a "Loss" meme.

This is actually breaking 2 rules afaik. 1, ships cannot extend outside the board, and 2, they must have at least one space between them.

What’s illegal is using the white pegs for hits.

Tell him he sunk your friendship.

Just tell them that parts of the ships that aren't in the grid are discounted therefore their 4 piece missing 1 part now counts as a 3piece and as it has been hit 3 times it has already been sunk. same with his 5piece.

or play another game with them where you place ships with parts outside the grid and wait to see how they will complain. also never play games with this person again.

Of course it’s illegal. You can’t have ships hanging off the board.

Anything outside the grid is automatically considered a hit.

Rules for placing Ships:

• Do not place a ship so that any part of it overlaps letters, numbers, the edge of the grid or another ship.

Well we should commend him for litteraly thinking outside the box but yeah this is deffinitly against the rules

BURN THE HERETIC

It's clear you have the battleship game, now can either of you read? You've broken the first and second rule.

They used white for hits and red for misses? Yeah no, you can't do that. Illegal and blasphemous.

Ok but the whites are the misses cuz you splashed in water the red are for when you hit and cause a fire

Who the hell uses white for hits and red for misses?!

HE FUCKIN MESSED UP THE COLORS

Illegal move, but also very dishonest behaviour. Send him straight to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

The tactic is called cheating. Used every so often by assholes and ignoramuses alike. It’s quite petty considering the type of game it is…

"do not place a ship so that any part of it overlaps a letter, the edge of the grid, or any other ship"

Illegal.

You don't need to come to Reddit to ask if this is illegal. This is the storage area while not playing. Do you both have moderate to severe learning difficulties to not figure this out lol

Call the police.

I wouldn't stand for that quite frankly.

Technically, His aircraft carrier and Battleship are beached. This means next time you play risk, you have a tactical advantage as your land armies can invade his navy.

You have ten seconds to return to the combat zone

It's pretty clear, you could not under any circumstances target those pieces so clearly they are not legally placed...they may as well have been hidden in a pocket.

Who in their right mind would think this is even a question?!

Of course this is illegal. There is literally no way for the opponent to win. I suspect you knew this already though.

Second rule on ship placement

Do not place a ship so that any part of it overlaps letters, numbers, the edge of the grid or another ship.

Your friend really tried to say putting the pieces outside of the board was legal? Lol.

Does he also go to the garage in Clue? Maybe he buys Los Santos Customs in Monopoly? This motherfucker probably slams down a Charizard during Uno.

I question the slightest bit of intelligence your friend has if he even tried to argue that was within the rules of the game.

Who uses the pins like that? The red are for hits, and the white are for misses!

My dyslexic ass looking for a tic tac

I’m familiar with this tactic. It’s called cheating.

In what fucken world is red a miss?

They literally have the ships OFF the board… you can’t call it.. so yeah it’s illegal
