The Fleet Book is expected imminently, and has been for several years...
:-)

Jon Tuffley apparently keeps getting sidetracked into other areas and
ends up 
not quite getting round to it.

Any suggestions that there are Egyptian hieroglyphs refering to "the
eagerly 
awaited FT Fleet Book" are exaggerated.  Probably. :->

Seriously, I think that a fleet book along the lines someone suggested
yesterday,
 containing eg a bit of background, a basic design/tactical/strategic
philosophy for 
the various nations, a couple of examples of fleets and perhaps a couple
of 
mini-campaigns like that already published, would be pretty saleable.
