Garf,
Yes I do like it. It retains the simple rules of CT while adding some additional material (such as the use of grenades in combat) that I like. (And yes CT fans, I know that gernades are covered in Book four, but military weapons should have been included in the basic game, not in a supplement.)

Real Name: Greg Foster (imaginative screen name I chose, eh?)
Military Service: None, but I did consider the USMC equivalent to ROTC in college. But, I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life at that point, so I thought it wouldn't be good to tie myself to something unless I really wanted it.
Residence: Columbus, Ohio
Profession: Computer programmer/analyst/consultant
Interests: Reading, painting miniatures, RPGs, playing with my cats, landscaping the lawn of my new house.
Favorite Traveller: MegaTraveller because of the background material. But all versions have something I like, and I am planning on running a T20 campaign/series for my group (they are familiar with D&D rules).
Favorite Class: Hmmmm, I think they are all cool, but the military ones (Navy, Marines, Army) if I had to choose.
Favorite Aliens: Aslan
Player/Refereee: Referee, since I have all of the Traveller stuff in my group, plus I like to referee.

Thanks for the warm welcome gang.
Couple of clarifications though
I am in the SCA, have been for well over 20 years. I am not an SCA Knight. I am the Knight Marshal for the local group, which is to say the Safety Officer for the combatants. I do fight, both heavy weapons and fencing, and I make my own armor. I *am* a Knight, and a Duchess, in another group, but not the SCA.
Yup, 1st Century BC Celts (Ivixa) and 16th Century Persian (Shazadeh), though mostly Persian since I adore Persian Dance and the clothing and fabrics are to die for. LOL.
Captain for a new team of all female paintball players; The Painted Ladies.
Thanks again for the very warm welcome, sorry for any confusion my original post may have caused.
