One more thing before I hit the books, and perhaps some Bach. If you were to recommend one Shrapnel game for someone to pick up, which one would it be and why?

Just my 2 cents worth....
The two heavy traffic games at the moment seem to be Space Empires IV and Dominions 2. SEIV is space 4x, lots of mods, hundreds of player created races, great strategy and lots of replayability. Dom2 is medieval/fantasy/magic, a very deep strategy which takes quite awhile to fully grasp (but thats one of the fun things about it), and offers over a year of play before you even feel a need to look at the mods for it.
Another point since we were talking beta-testing is that Dom will be having a new version coming up for beta-testing here.
There are other games here with various niches. Real world war both historical and present-time, an excellent remake of M.U.L.E., or for those who are real eager do-it-your-selfers there is a very nice game engine to build your own game off of. Hmmmm and some others I know Im missing...
