You Sunk My Battleship Train ~ Simple Mailer with prizes!
Newbies with a itrader of at least 10 with plenty of QUALITY coupons to share are welcome! Please read all requirements. I know the list is long, but it’s to help ensure you know what is expected so all passengers have a great ride!!
Please make sure to read ALL info and requirements before joining.
You can only ride up to 5 trains at a time at HCW.
If you are already on 5, you can catch the next one!
The basics: You will mail out (4) or possibly* (5) envies with 25 coupons and you will receive (4) or possibly* (6) envies with 25 coupons.
*See below for info on envie #5 & #6
Mail Out Dates will be: August 8th, August 15th, August 22nd, August 29
(Please DO NOT mail early on this train ~Try to stick to the mail dates!)
Envie Requirements: Must contain at least (25) Quality Coupons. This is a potluck train, but using wish lists is STRONGLY encouraged! 
If you have few/no wish list matches, stamps and/or quality non-insert Q’s are always appreciated! All coupons must expire at least 2 weeks from date of mailing.
You must be able to post when you mail and when you receive!
You need a wish list posted to ride. If your list is very short and specific, other train riders will have a harder time matching your list. If there's something you don't need multi's of, note it. Please include some insert and/or printables , so that everyone has a chance to fill several of your wishes! I also find it helpful if you put where you shop on your wish list, do they double, etc.
This train is potluck which means you may not get 25 coupons from your WL in each envie. Although please try to match wish lists.
No pet, no baby, no meds, no oddball products that very few members use like Depends unless you have an exact wl match. If someone says they can use cat food frees, do not include regular cat food, unless it is an extra.
Limit of 1 of each coupon unless it is an exact match to a wish list. If you have an exact wish list match, then duplicates are encouraged!!! Again, more than 1 of something is OK if its "extra"
printables are great to send if the member can use them.
store specific coupons are only OK if they are on the WL.
BTFE's Coke Codes, Pepsi Codes, Huggies ETR codes, Pampers GTG codes are all great to include if they are wish list items.
Rebates and tmf forms are GREAT to include. Watch state restrictions.
If for any reason, any of your envies are not received, you will be asked to re-send at the 2 week point. Joining this train is your agreement to this rule.
Now on to the FUN Part!
Have you ever played the Hasbro game Battleship? 
The little grey ships, with the red and white pegs? 
Usually played by two people? Each person calls out a space on the “grid”, trying to hit an opponent’s ships? Ringing a bell?
Well, I’ve come up with a way to “play” Battleship on this Train!!
I will strategically hide my ships 
(Aircraft Carrier – 5 blocks, Battleship – 4 blocks, Cruiser – 3 blocks, Patrol Boat – 2 blocks, & Submarine – 3 blocks) on a 10x10 grid. The letters A-J go down the side and the numbers 1-10 go along the top. For a visual of the grid, click here. Ships could be "parked" vertical or horizontal anywhere on the grid.
You, the riders, will try and sink my ships!! 
When you post to the thread that you have mailed and received an envie, you also get to guess a square on the grid. For example:
mydogalex2000 mailed week 1 envie to trainrider1
my guess: C4
I will then post to the thread with either “Hit” or “Miss”. I will not tell you which ship you “Hit”, just that you hit something!
The goal is to sink my BATTLESHIP!! The (4) riders who successfully SINK my Battleship (it is 4 squares long, so it would take 4 grid guesses to SINK) will receive (2) Potluck Envies from (2) of their fellow riders!! The 8 riders who do not participate in the sinking of my battleship will each mail (1) envie to one of the “sinkers”! I will post the match-ups after the sinking! Also, this train will continue EVEN if the Battleship is SUNK (so you will still mail out your (4) envies, even if the Battleship gets sunk on week 1). There are no prizes for sinking the other ships, only the Battleship “counts”. 
But, dang, isn’t it fun to try and find/sink that little patrol boat?? 
I will be participating (mailing/receiving) on this train, but will NOT be guessing or eligible to win the extra potluck envies!
I will be taking 11 riders along with me!
