Steve Jackson Games who was selling the 'Lite' version in the US is now
sold
out.....but I just got a copy of 'Escort' in the mail yesterday :-)

It looks good and is well laid out.  Most of the rules are familiar but
most
do have a twist or two though I haven't read through it well enough yet
to
give decent examples.  I look foreword to 'Fleet' when it comes out and
the
vac-heads on this list should consider Power Projection if they really
want
to see some new stuff for FT but can't wait until FB3 or FT3 appear.
