You quoted a article in a magazine produced by DGP that’s not exactly a reliable come up with a source more reliable than Marc

The DGP book all have their label on the in addition to or replacing GDWs. The Core books and the Rebellion Sourcebook have only GDWs label on them. Also considering the Traveller Digest was actually written by DGP it’s not exactly a reliable source for this since it was in their best interest...

Rebellion Source Book “The History of the Imperium Working Group (HIWG) is a support organization dedicated to exploring the future history of the Imperium and ramifications of the Rebellion on that history. SOME OF THE INFORMATION IN THIS SOURCEBOOK IS BASED ON HIWG’s WORK. Special thanks are...

From Marc Miller Wikipedia “ While at GDW, Miller designed a total of 74 games and products, with an average of one every four months, including Imperium; and, co-designed MegaTraveller and 2300 AD.[citation needed] Miller wrote a letter to the company Digest Group Publications (DGP), in 1987...

Actually the Rebellion Source Book is core MegaTraveller book and despite the rumors the core books were not written by DGP. Marc Licensed DGP to do a bunch of support for MegaTraveller since he was going on to other projects. The Trepida and Astrin are not DGPs creation. And yes you will...

Found this on the Wiki and it makes more sense especially since it places the Marines are the primary imperial force and the army as more local defense forces. “The Unified Armies of the Imperium is built upon the regimental system, in which each sufficiently populous Imperial world within a...

I agree totally. The Army always seem to make more sense as a local force possibly required and Draftable by the imperium but strictly a local force.

I didn’t know they were reorganizing as commando in 1942 so I was wrong as to their current mission. You have to be careful about anything Sigtrygg comments on that I have commented on he goes out of his way to attack me. But he is right about their current mission.

I could be wrong but if I remember right the Royal Marines are still organized as the traditional ships troops: Base Security, Ship Security, embassy security and Boarding actions. The USMC changed significantly I WW2 where in the pacific front they were needed to island hop and took over the...

“The Spinward Marches Campaign/Adventures in a War-Ravaged Sector” GDW 261 written by Marc Miller himself. It actually describes the FFW including some of the units the where are part of the War. The Ship on the Cover is a Venter. Also the Rebellion from MegaTraveller also talks about this...

The imperium use separate marine groups for planetary assault the ship board troops on the navy vessels are for boarding actions both defensive and offensive. For planetary assault the Marines use navy jump carriers which carry large landing ships like the Venter. This is similar to the way...

Something I think needs clarification here. X-Boats are not UPS! They don’t deliver the mail, mail is actually a cargo available for merchants. No the X-Boats deliver the data needed to run an interstellar empire without FTL communications. Rather it’s government, corporate, news or even...
