...not right *now*, but I was in Manchester playing Full Thrust this
past weekend (at GenCon) :-/ Now I'm back home in Sweden, but I met at
least a dozen British FT players there.

Dunno if there are any permanent shops selling FT stuff, but Jon seems
to have a fairly hectic schedule visiting various wargames shows all
around the UK. I spent far too much money buying more ship models at
GenCon, too (most of them were bargain-bin B5 Fleet Action, but there
were lots of them so it got expensive anyway...).

The two Fleet Books. The first is essential (completely revises the
ship design system, 'cuz the one in the main rules is rather broken),
the second is highly recommended - but I was a playtester for both of
them, so my view might be somewhat biased :-/

Most of the stuff in More Thrust has been superceded by the Fleet
Books, so it's not *that* critical to get.
