28 handcrafted pages + two pages of counters with 5 years of 
development <grin>...

Sadly, thanks to the general apathy of US Distributors, there aren't 
that many FLGSs that stock PP or BITS stuff. As a distributor/retailer 
SJG / Warehouse 23 have a lot to recommend them compared to some other 
outfits - for a start, they pay up promptly. This is often a problem 
with other groups, especially when you're across the Atlantic and 
unlikely to be able to afford legal action to recover costs. Plus they 
like Traveller and buy our books in regularly.

As a side note, if you mail order you can also try;

Leisure Games - http://www.leisuregames.com/
Travelling Man (I think it's http://www.travellingman.co.uk/)

who carry Power Projection. Any Esdevium stocked shops should be able 
to get it.

Also Jon had some copies at Salute - I didn't get down to the GZG stand 
again to see if they'd all gone though.

Colour counters are on the site and downloadable. Putting them in 
colour on light card would have probably pushed the cover price up 
something like 1 to 2 GBP as we don't have the volume to get a good 
discount.

It's one of the things that we're thinking about, but it depends on 
whether we can get the artists sorted out :-/

Cheers,
