Power Projection - standalone?

Does Power Projection: Fleet work as a standalone game or do I also need to
buy PP: E to have the full rules?

No, it's standalone.

Power Projection is completely stand alone. You don't need Full Thrust or the
Fleet Books to play it.

Oh.... OK. You don't need PP: Escort either. Both Fleet and Escort are stand
alone games. There focus is just different.

Fleet is a stand alone game, you do not need Escort to play.

Power Projection: Fleet is standalone, as is Power Projection: Escort.

Escort is a subset of the full 'Fleet' rules which focuses on smaller ships.
The main differences from Fleet are

a) no campaign rules b) no conversion rules for starships c) no spinal mount
rules d) no gravity rules e) the counter set (it has Paul Lesack's drawings
rather than Jesse DeGraff's CGI models) and the SSDs. Escort has 14 small ship
SSDs, 2 of which are in Fleet, the rest being unique. f) no simplifications
for massed combat (ie massed fire tables)

Escort was written as an introductory package and is 28 pages long.
It's fully playable and a game should take around 60-90 minutes with
8-10 ships.

Fleet is 70+ pages long (I haven't got it to hand as I write this) and
focusses on the campaign and big ship end. Battles usually take 2 hours
upwards, unless an opponent - sorry, victim - does something stupid
like turn broadside on to an enemies' spinal mount so they can't retaliate...

Does that help?

Cheers,

Yes, thanks Dom.
