Mongoose Publishing Press Release - Mercenary II: Force Organisation

From the Mongoose Publishing Website

In the last preview of the playtest rules for Book 1: Mercenary Second Edition, we demonstrated the rules for basic recruitment. Now, how to organise your recruits into a coherent force that can be used in-game…

Force Organisation

Once you have recruited your first few soldiers, you will need to organise them into a fighting force. These will be formed into one or more units within the mercenary force.

Mongoose Publishing Press Release - Building a Mercenary Force I: Recruiting

From the Mongoose Publishing Website

A core component of the developing Book 1: Mercenary Second Edition are mechanics that will allow players to hire their own squads, platoons and companies, and arrange them into fighting units. These rules are very much at the playtest stage, but we wanted you chaps to see them and make comment.

Without further ado, we first present the rules for recruiting mercenaries.

Recruiting

People are at the heart of the a mercenary force, be they frontline soldiers or support personnel. Well-defined recruitment procedures will ensure these employees will also be steady when under fire.

Mongoose Publishing Press Release - Mercenary 2: Skills and Specialities

From the Mongoose Publishing Website

The military requires individuals to not only adhere to discipline but also exhibit initiative to overcome obstacles. Personnel must learn to adapt existing skills to evolving situations and, if necessary, specialise in entirely new areas.

This sections introduces some new ways of handling existing skills and new skill specialities that will allow characters to expand what they are capable of doing. Those with the skills already will be able to use these specialities at level 0, while new characters or those undergoing training can go straight into a new speciality and perhaps get an edge on the enemy.

Mongoose Publishing Press Release - Traveller Grav Vehicles

From the Mongoose Publishing Website

Science fiction is full of anti-grav vehicles, from flying cars to sophisticated grav tanks, and speeders so fast they scorch the air. Anti-gravity was very common in early science fiction, though advances in scientific understanding have deprecated the idea in more modern writing.

However, anti-gravity is still common in role playing games, and is a staple of Traveller.

This book presents 10 detailed and illustrated grav vehicles, from a lift bike, a grav car, and the ubiquitous G-Carrier, to a pair of military designs.
