I must be not that bright because I played many games of battleship in my childhood and never even considered the possibility.

The real battleship cheat was marking the opponents shots as well as your own and moving ships accordingly. I mean, it’s not like real ships don’t move.

You’re not allowed to reposition after the game starts

Don’t you always mark the opponent’s shots?

They didn’t come with enough markers originally to do that. The only way i was able to as a kid was because we had the peices from a second game set.

It’s always had way more miss markers than we ever needed. And it was in the mid 80s

I suppose strictly speaking you only need to mark the hits. If you’re not cheating, your opponent’s misses don’t really matter much.
