Now let's review our bet. Was it a) how many pegs does a Battleship destroyer have? or b) how many pegs does your irrelevant 30-year old Battleship destroyer have? So you acknowledge the current version uses a three-peg Destroyer. Now let’s review our bet.

Was it
a) how many pegs does a Battleship destroyer have? or

b) how many pegs does your irrelevant 30-year old Battleship destroyer have?

Little good it will do you, friend. Little good it did Hasbro. Little good it did Milton, and little good it did Bradley. They foibled years ago and hope to cast a blind eye to it now, presuming the impressionable youth of America, 1970s would let it slide. "Shit. The Destroyer was too small to be a Destroyer. He had a big name to compensate for his wee-size," said they behind closed doors. You know and I know they changed the name of the boat without telling anybody. I can draw up on thousands. Thousands, Ron. Thousands of references citing the <strong>Destroyer</strong> with <a href="http://people.clarkson.edu/~jnm/cs450.archive/cs450.fa2001/proj/battleship/images/battleship2.jpg" rel="nofollow">two holes</a>, my defeated-yet-dogged friend. There is little you can do, save hang your head in defeat. I will settle for that, for starters. Following that I would expect to begin discussions of my compensation. I will be compensated.

I stand by my statements: (1) Destroyer had two pegs. (2) Ron is a lying son of a bitch. (3) I did not 'mod' my own 1970s gamepiece; however, I did perform a few 'mods' on Ron's car at lunch. <strong>In other news</strong>, like-minded 'mod' fans might want to make their way to Hangar 1018 downtown tonight for the $5 <strong>xbox faceplate mod post-e3 extravaganza</strong>, featuring all your favorite artists.

See below. This guy seems to be a retro boardgame expert and has the vintage destroyer down as a 2-pegger, but then image doesn't really look like a destroyer. So it is possible that the name and the boat design didn't match up in the old game. Hope this helps complicate things! http://cgi.ebay.com/BATTLESHIP-GAME-PART-2-HOLE-DESTROYER_W0QQitemZ8751458722QQcategoryZ7317QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Who had 2 pegs and who had 3?

Please remind me what our bet was. I'm pretty sure it wasn't "how many pegs does Ryan's 1970s mod Battleship destroyer have?" Sounds like you’re staring down the losing end of this wager. Please remind me what our bet was. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t “how many pegs does Ryan’s 1970s mod Battleship destroyer have?”
