Will the latest and most updated version of this volume be sent out to us kickstarters too, as has been the case with the previous entries in the series?

I would love to know, too.

The best way to figure out trade volume is probably the system in GURPS Traveller Far Trader. Some of the on-line maps include a "world trade number" figure (WTN), and from that you can get a "bilateral trade number" (BTN), which is the sum of the WTNs minus a distance modifier. With that, you get ...

"Vanguard" reborn, or any sort of skirmish miniatures game based on Snapshot or Azhanti High Lightning. I'd love to get new 28mm Traveller minis, especially hard to find aliens like Aslan, K'kree, Droyne and Hivers (though I have to admit I did not enjoy the helmets of the Imperial Marines in Battle...

It is a nice and hefty black ink pen. https://bijghw.db.files.1drv.com/y4m64SfLdhYHsTVToelXfXB08oYIOlOdE3H0AJJQ6wzVyrJHWLdYFg7GvVWrHPu3jDJDcqhcfPNb_dIIxbJR-T_iolR1BFQZQ28Ox67WS8IOjzekbgCpdrL3yZwwebqazUtns1h5UmCKctvskepZRnVbIcS9JHTajsvq8L7wdMkecJbnFyb4gN9vgnMP7QYAjZ1U2i_ZAvbwr2Z8aWyxFWV6A?width=2987&...

We are also going to try to do Aliens of Charted Space Vol. 2, though that is a little more of a stretch – this volume will bring the rest of the major races up to date, being the Solomani, Hivers, and Droyne.

Í would love to see the Vilani also included in Aliens of Charted Space Vol. 2!

Whatever shape the IM dress uniform is, make it maroon in colour, like in this pic by the late Andrew Boulton:

It's now also possible to sail directly into the wind with a rotating wing sail, but I cannot explain the physics of how that works

Well - it was always possible to sail into the wind by tacking. <== Click link.

Here is a quick scale comparison. Left to right: 1. Reaper Minis Nova Corp soldier, 2. Mongoose Street Judge (both "heroic 28mm"), 3. RAFM TNE RC Marine in light battledress and 4. Denizen Ventauran (the latter two in "True 25mm" scale, same size as Grenadier original 25mm castings). Note the differ...

Note the Denizen Venturians are available in 15mm from Darkest Star Games, as well as some nice Vargr. Aslan and Droyne one still needs to go to RAFM. You can also find some 15mm Ventaurans/Venturians from Eureka Miniatures (Australia), They sort of kickstarted them some years ago: http://eurekamin...

Note you are confusing licensee's Grenadier did the set in "true" 25mm, RAFM did the 28mm figures for TNE. Well, I have quite a bunch of those RAFM (and Grenadier) minis, and I can assure you they are not compatible in size with the newer "heroic" 28mm castings that have become the standard of this...

What scale was Starship Troopers? Or Judge Dredd for that matter? Probably gives a bit of a hint anyway. Those were 28mm ("heroic 25mm"). If the new Traveller boarding action game uses that same scale, we could have the very first Aslan minis that size (you can find Vargr proxies, but finding Aslan...

And here it is: State of the Mongoose Jan 12, 2018 Traveller Miniatures Game: This idea has been pushed around for a few years, and we now know where we are going with it. The ‘strategic’ idea is to produce a handful of self-contained Traveller miniatures games over the next few years, rather than t...

Anyway, Matt should have mentioned some news by now... Any developments worth anticipating, Mr, Sprange?

[NAIL BITING MODE ON]

Pardon for the necrophilia (and sorry if this has been answered elsewhere) but what is the status of the Traveller miniatures game?

Thanks!

He's looking at a week or so - hopefully...

Thanks, Ian!

Paul, are you planning a print version for this?

Thanks!

I also preordered the VHB and sent an eMail to Matt for the pdf, but the file has not arrived so far...

Looking forward to check it.
