Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)While published under the "Rogue Trader" aspect of WH 40K, this book is applicable to all Warhammer 40K games. While some aspects are for Rogue Trader specifically, this book, IMHO, can be considered as an "Imperial Navy" and "Expansion on Space Travel and Combat" sourcebook.
This book starts out with rules for torpedos (which have been mentioned in other books but never expanded on); smaller craft "squadron combat" (or "air combat"), an expansion of smaller craft to include planetary and non-warp capable ships; expansions on ship types- additional essential and supplementary components; info on shipyards, repairs, acquisitions, etc; General information on the Imperial Navy (similar to the Imperial Guardsman's Uplifting Primer) that fleshes the organization out more in detail; and has expansive rules on how to make war profitable for those playing Rogue Trader.
You don't have to play Rogue Trader to enjoy this book. If you want to know more about the Imperial Navy, how war works in space or if you want to expand your knowledge of the Warhammer 40K universe, this book is good. I will say that this book would be a great supplement to the Death Watch books but not so much to the Dark Heresy/Inquisition books.
A must for Rogue Traders and even if the game writers and producers didn't intend to (I know they only wanted a 3 arch book system- Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader, Death Watch), this book easily allows you (along with the Rogue Trader core book) to run an "Imperial Navy" campaign if you or your friends so desire. Such is the flexibility and wealth of information this book contains.
The biggest flaw is that it doesn't expand on the Imperial Navy on other Segmentums as much (I know but it is a Rogue Trader book) to be more holistic and complete (IMHO).
5 stars, spend your thrones!
