Question
What is the name of this game and what company produced it?
I played it as a child in the 1950's, in the city park in Wyandotte, Michigan. V.F.W. Park. Do you know of anyone whom ran the game at the park and is an avid collector of board games in my area that can be contacted or can you give me a list of submarine games from the 40's-50's. It was played like checkers, red boats, grey subs, there were more boats than subs, subs were located on one side and boats on the other.And the object was to move your battleship to the other side while the subs tried to stop you, and the subs tried to get to your side or destroy you. Any help/information on this game would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Dave
