Traveller Miniatures are coming from Ad Astra!
Sunday 28 January 2007 Filed in: News
Following our announcement earlier in the week
about Ad Astra
Games licence to publish
Power
Projection, we are very
pleased to bring you a preview of the
Traveller miniatures range
they are going to be releasing.
.
The ships pictured above are the Plankwell Class Dreadnought, the Azhanti High Lightning, a Chrysathemum class Destroyer, and two Zhodani ships (a Zhdavldlitz class Light Cruiser and a Zhdiak class Light Destroyer).
The pictures below show a situation that an Azhanti High Lightning doesn't want to get into!
These pictures are CGI models of the final sculptures produced by Charles Oines for Ad Astra Games.
If you're interested in the chat about these new models, have a look at Ad Astra Games' forums.

Power Projection to be printed in the USA
Monday 22 January 2007 Filed in: News
BITS are proud to announce closer
ties with yet another game publisher. Following on
from our collaboration with Jon Tuffley at Ground Zero Games to
produce our much-applauded
Traveller starship combat
system Power Projection, we are
now beginning printing of the Power
Projection: Fleet rules through Ken
Burnside at Ad Astra Games in
the USA.
We continue to have stock of the original UK printings of both Power Projection: Escort and Fleet, but this agreement allows us to produce and distribute the updated version of Fleet more easily in the USA. We will continue to stock and distribute the original UK printing to distributors, mail order customers and at conventions, but will replace these with the US-printed version over time.
We will only be printing Fleet at Ad Astra; though Escort is a useful, and fun, lead-in to Power Projection, the economics of printing meant it wasn't worth producing Escort in the USA: for our first out-source to Ad Astra we wanted to focus on the complete rules set in Fleet and see how it went.
We intend to collaborate further with Ken and his team at Ad Astra on future projects, just as we continue to work very closely with Jon at Ground Zero Games with our upcoming Power Projection: Reinforcements book.

Power Projection: Escort Ship for Download
Monday 15 January 2007 Filed in: Products
I'm finding myself awake at unusual times at the
moment after the birth of my son, so I've killing
some of the time by converting designs into
Power Projection. I'm dropping
them onto PDFs as a practice for when work starts
in vengeance on Power Projection:
Reinforcements' graphics. First up is a
conversion of a Fleet Destroyer from QLI's
excellent Traveller's Aide #7: Fighting
Ships. If you're into starship
battles you should consider this book as it
presents many Solomani Rim War Era Imperial
designed ships (which could be used on both
sides of a conflict) and are easily convertible
to Power Projection. And all for $5. RPG Now have the book
available.
Click on the icon above to be taken to the Shipyard to download the design. Enjoy! I'm not certain what ship I'll do next, but I'm tempted by the Huron Class Bombardment Cruiser thanks to the picture shown on the front of Traveller 1248.
