Very cool Board Game!

Very nice game indeed. The only other planetary assault game I know is FASA´s Battletech "Battleforce" game (yeah, I know, Battletech: "boo, hiss" , which was pretty good actually, but unfortunately built for the battletech universe, so unusable for Traveller. Otherwise, I tried to use the Striker system (a long time ago, and no, not in a Galaxy far far away...

), which wasn´t bad, but too tactical to be usable for planetary assault. From what I read on the link, though, Imperium seems to be more of a boardgame than a "genuine" conflict simulation. Are there any tactical (i.e. non-strategical) planetary assault board games usable in the Traveller Universe at large or even a system that you might integrate with Brilliant Lances or Battle Rider?

There is Invasion Earth and Fifth Frontier War which use related systems to show operational warfare. The ground combat in the latter is very abstract.

Striker II had tactical systems and some scenarios were published.
