[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 8326702, member: 82106"] Right, there were some tactical gamelets and IIRC the Azhanti High Lightning was an adventure, wasn't it? Certainly it was a good setting for one, very detailed. I think the rules for it actually were sort of eyeballed though, High Guard came out later, so at the time it was sort of beyond what the 3 LBBs could build. Then oddly enough High Guard turns that 'battle cruiser' into a tiny escort ship by comparison to the REAL battle cruisers. TCS, IIRC, was just a contest to build a fleet for 1 Trillion Credits and then I guess you were supposed to mail it in someplace and someone somewhere would run them all through some battles and decide which was the most kick-ass, right? You could definitely use TCS as a sort of model of "here's what a 3rd Imperium Main Battle Fleet looks like." I remember at one point I got a copy of the Spinward Marches wargame. It certainly seemed geared towards being used as the backdrop/meta-plot to an actual Traveller campaign. I guess you could reverse engineer some of the ships via High Guard into game stats, too. Maybe even fold in some PCs by making them fleet admirals or militarizing their ships, etc. [/QUOTE]
