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.

Agreed. For every event.

Entry 4. Ending of a Relationship - Badly. Should that create a Rival or Enemy?

Entry 5: Improved Relationship - Should that create a Contact or Ally?

My thoughts exactly.

For my second term in the Star Marines I rolled a 9 on the post-survival Events Table. The entry reads: A mission goes disastrously wrong due to your commander’s error or incompetence, but you survive. If you report your commanding officer for his failure then you gain DM+2 to your next Advancement ...

He will be missed.

Absolutely.

I would like to see: 1) A sort of "Fire fusion and steel book" with all the rules for build vehicles, ships, and also for personal weapons and armors and so, all together. Seconded. And please have it written by David Pulver. Or maybe even by Greg Porter. Or by both of them! 2) A new setting based ...
