I ran across this game on the Man Battlestations blog/Board and was intrigued.

You can hear a good interview from the creator here. I recommend giving it a listen:

Basically a Naval wargame built by an 11 year old, and now being kickstarted! I love the ethos of this game.

Good luck to the creator - I like that you get to build your own ships. Still, this feels like a game 30 years too late.

Exactly my thoughts.

This does bring back fond memories of games I created and played on graph paper as a kid.

Good on 'im.

This is taking the piss, right? Someone poking fun at TMP-class grognards?

It's been designed by an 11-year old.

I missed that part

Yeah, 30 years too late is..... about 19 years before this kid was born!
