New Battleships style game

Also called Battleship. Think it might have additional titles but I forgot what they were.

50p/£1 with enchancements.

Anyway, It's not the usual square grid, it contains hexagonal style tiles, and each column of them is a different subject.

You need a target score to get to the cash round, which I didn't get to, so I can't say what that is. But it seemed pretty nasty to get the needed score.

Anyway...the grid...It contains questions, answer for points. Category of question depends on the column you shot in. Can't remember if it starts with 4 answers or changes from 2 to 4 later on. 50 points per correct answer.
Also you can get ship hits, which seem crap. 100 points and no question, but no bonus for sinking a ship it seems.
Mini-game. Standard affair of match 4 and get the prize. Can give you points, knock the target score down or give a ship bonus
Ship Bonus. Offers a bonus based on a ship awarded. I only got Submarine which basically does a radar of 7 hexagons and what they contain.
Secret Weapon-It's like a bonus that you can take any time, however if you build them up, the bonus becomes supposedly better. The top bonus in the last game was £2 spot prize which I took. It's not always a cash win though, the game before it was a Spotter Plane. Didn't get there though!

End result, a fun enough game even thought the target score seems a bit shitty at times, there's always the spot prize. Questions seem challenging at times but not unanswerable.

Souns like the one on INDE. Not seen Spotter planes anywhere else, but that wasn't hexagonal. Fuck me have we not got got any better ideas than more Battleships games? Must be the 10th at least I can remember. The worst one was the one set in a graveyard. Prophectic that was.
