After looking thru _Annic_Nova_ from Double Adv. 1 & the description of
Victoria/Lanth/Spin. Marches, I've become curious as to whether or not
there was ever explanation as to how the Victorian crew that was found
dead on the Annic Nova came to acquire such a vessel. I had thought that
maybe the Victorians were transplanted by the Ancients & so had access to
some "secrets" but JTAS#2 (which covers Victoria) states that they came
there in sub-light craft like colonists did in Trillion Credit Squad.
Does anyone have any info to contribute?
Also, does anyone know where I can get old issues of the JTAS? I have only
issues 2,3,8-10,12-17. I understand they went up to #24 before Challenge
started. Any info will be much appreciated.
Finally, I'd have to say that right now it looks to me as if I'm going to
pretty much reject the 'Space Viking' theme of the new Traveller version.
_Hard_Times_ has finally given me the path onto the road to recovery that
I've been waiting for ever since this rebellion nonsense (IMHO) started.
It seems to be terribly perverse to me to then chop everything right back
down with this virus garbage just as it looks like things are getting
better. GDW will just have to chalk me up as one long-time & very loyal
(I even bought COACC & Fighting Sh*ts!) customer that will be lost for all
intents & purposes.
