Just a quickie for now, but we have been playing around with some ideas on how to present the fleet lists...

Just to let you all know, the latest Playtest Pack is now available for download: http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/pdf/vasplaytestpacksept.zip On the surface, it looks like there are fewer changes in this pack, but they are a bit weightier than normal - lots and lots of points changes, plus Long la...

If a devastating weapon inflicts a critical hit, does it also inflict the critical effects of the lower levels of that critical score? So if a 4 is rolled does it inflict all the critical effects for levels 1, 2 & 3 as well? I think the answer here has to be no? There is Devastating, and then there...

This... is a good question...

This assumes the Turrets on the Lexington are a big error.

Here's fun... Those turrets are _not_ a mistake

We have a fair battery of eyes to go over Traveller books these days, but we may be in touch!

Indeed - and I have good news...

The main manuscript is completely, done, edited, dusted! I am just working on some additional chapters that were requested, which should be complete later this week (or likely next), and then I will be fielding all questions!

From our friends at Evil Twin Artworks: It’s almost time for the Victory At Sea Pacific video game to begin its maiden voyage. We can confirm the release date, price and launch discount for Victory At Sea Pacific, and it's soon! The scariest part of the launch is hoping people will like it, you spen...

Had an epiphany about Long Lance over the weekend - standby for an update...

The POD system we are using is Drivethru - we have a lot of back catalogue books already converted, but with 600-odd titles, this is not a quick job by any stretch!

Book 1 contains all the rules - so as well as the moving and fighting mechanics (which, you are right, are rules-lite), you also get submersibles, radar, aircraft, kamikaze units, coastal invasions, coastal craft and defences... lots more... Book 2 contains scenarios and history, while Book 3 has al...

Slightly off topic but can you put more US destroyers in the game? There are only 4 in the game and there are about 11 others that are missing.

I will look into that! Any preferences for what you would like to see as a priority?

They can dream...

Excellent work on these, going through them now.

As another observation, it takes a lot to scout. It takes a dozen scouts to reliably get the ability to stuff a carrier into deep deployment, and like thirty to get the ability to bring the scouts you have back onto the board. This is something I have been keeping my eye on - I would like to hear m...

There is a degree of 'wigglebility here' and, in terms of turn length, the difference may not be that massive for individual flights (no steam catapults or angled decks!). Given that aircraft are now free, I am less worried about the largest carriers getting everything off the deck during a battle (...

Been humming and harring about the carrier/wind issues. At the moment, I am leaning towards keeping things as they are - I can see where you are coming from but we also need towards playability and not massively penalising someone just because they are on the wrong side of the table. As it stands, y...

Awesome report - hoping to get an update to you chaps before the weekend!

Incidentally, a new web site is being worked on right now, and should be ready in just a few weeks!
