Starship Troopers

Good news, bad news, indifferent news...but news nevertheless.

"The Starship Troopers roleplaying game, based on Mongoose Publishing’s
own 
innovative, exciting and Open Game system, will be released in the last 
quarter of 2004. Providing a wealth of information on the Mobile
Infantry, 
the totalitarian government of Earth and the alien races clamouring for 
dominance of the galaxy, the Starship Troopers RPG will provide the
ultimate 
immersive experience of the far future. Supported by high quality 
supplements detailing characters, aliens and equipment, the survival of
the 
species will be down to you.

Join up now!

The Starship Troopers miniatures wargame will bring you face to face
with 
the very worst the galaxy has to throw against Mankind. Supported by a 
complete range of plastic and metal miniatures, players will command
entire 
armies of Mobile Infantry, Fleet Expeditionary Forces, Arachnids,
Skinnies 
and many more. Released as a large box set in the first quarter of 2005,
the 
Starship Troopers wargame will contain the main rulebook with enough
Mobile 
Infantry and Arachnids to begin your fight for the galaxy. Further 
miniatures, vehicles and armies will be released throughout 2005 and
beyond, 
all with their own specialist army books describing the structure of
their 
forces, unique technologies, painting guides and, of course, their army 
lists."

*****

That there will be miniatures pleases me.  The rest, I can give or take.
 
The game will, apparently, be based on a mixture of book, movie, and the
CGI 
series...which is probab ly more gameable than the book alone, but still

disapointing.
