LBB9 has this to say about the Atlantic class heavy cruiser:

CT/LBB 9 Fighting Ships has this to say about Naval Depots, giving some insight into how naval procurement works:

I definitely agree with the second point. Please post a citation or two for the second point. If, indeed, GDW said this many times, I'm sure one or two won't be hard for you to reference.

Hmm, except this apocalyptic scenario of desolation isn't what generally happens in the boardgame of that action produced by GDW (Invasion: Earth). The Imperial player usually takes Luna to use as a forward base, then deals with Terra's SDB squadrons (or at least suppresses them by causing them...

I wonder if that is really the case - a cursory glance at a map of the Imperium from 1105 suggests actually the vast bulk of the empire is relatively close to potential neighbouring threats. Be they Aslan, Vargr, Zhodani, or Solomani. Even the core sectors are potentially vulnerable to a...

Chris Thrash did a detailed analysis of the size and costs of the Imperial military. I know some quibble with it, but I haven't seen anything else approaching this level of detal. https://web.archive.org/web/20151004213426/https://www.prismnet.com/~thrash/milforce.html

The pictures here (as in many other places unfortuntaely) bear no relation to the weapon described. The clue is, as others have noted, that the text mentions these two weapons are derivatives of the PGHP from CSC. The mass should be kgs, not tonnes.

100 percent. I'd be happy to help. But Mongoose and Mercenary seems to be cursed. Two failed attempts now. Maybe better to just give up and focus elsewhere.

I must admit, when I first encountered Traveller in the early 1980s, I erroneously assumed that the Speeder in the LLB was the primary means of transport, and the air/raft was to be a minor player in the personal transport area, mainly for moving cargo in an open top platform. How wrong I was!

Yes, it is in JTAS #13, page 6.

I've looked and looked and can't find this anywhere in my CT collection - not in CT '77, not in CT '80, not in Starter Traveller, not in the Traveller Book, not in Mayday. Maybe someone with better eyes can point it out to me. In Mayday you're told to use a blank counter placed on the...
