I second that

Great game.

Geo and I have been slugging it out for a while now...

A good assessment, Geo.

Wow! That reminds me alot of SJmod even though the methods are totally different.

Thanks, Geo. I really regret having to bail out of that game, but RL has me working some tremendous hours over the Last 6 months or so and will probably continue for the rest of the year. So,

I won't be playing any PBW games anytime soon because I can't commit to reliably getting turns in on time

.

When the game is over, I would love to see any positive or negative comments on how the game went. And I'm wondering how it met the original goals discussed in the parent thread:

Thanks,

Ankle-biters was my first PBW game and I can imagine it being boring. Not only do you have a skip on a few components on your ships but if you need them you have to make a different ship design. All of this makes it great. Great twist on a great game. I hope there will be another one after this one. I want to start the way I like to play. Maybe then I would be a bigger threat

Well, as far as that goes you don't have to wait for this one to end. The mod is avaialble for anyone to use on PBW. If you want to get another one going have at it. I'll have to beg off myself, but I am sure you'd have no problem getting enough people to make a game of it.

You sohuld look at the Small Ships Mod - it's like the Ankle-Biters mod, but with more shipstyles and components, and other extra spice.
