British Isles Traveller Support.

Power Projection: Fleet and Power Projection: Escort are both the same 
engine. Fleet has campaign rules, details for spinals and conversion 
rules from High Guard designs. Escort deals with little ships, and 
beyond 12 extra small escorts, is completely included in Fleet. Escort 
is the pick up and play 60 to 90 min a game version whereas Fleet is 
for more protracted engagements.

The rules were developed from FT2 pre-FB, High Guard 2nd Edition and 
Mayday. The FT combat system evolved into a table with mods (as 
Traveller has far more options) but the standard battery roll is 
visibly FT. Movement actually came from Mayday, but ended up something 
very close to Fleet Book 2. Pretty much everything else is either 
homebrw from 5 years of playtests or Traveller-sourced. Jon T was a 
major source of support and encouragement throughout.

Cheers,

Dom
