At Close Quarters

ADD TO WISHLIST >

At Close Quarters is a set of combat rules for Traveller*, aimed at bringing together what we felt were the better elements from past systems.

At Close Quarters is a tactical system that emphasises the action and reaction process of real combat. Cautious combatants with fast reactions who use all available cover will out-live reckless gun-slinger types!

At Close Quarters is intended to add excitement to critical combat situations within your Traveller game, or ACQ can be used for standalone ground skirmishes and starship boarding actions.

Included are comprehensive rules for:

  • Ranged combat (from aimed shots to suppression fire)
  • Melee combat
  • Movement
  • Action/reaction situations (including interrupting your opponent’s actions)
  • Types of cover (and how to reach it quickly)
  • Damage effects and healing
  • Zero-g combat

At Close Quarters also includes:

  • Weapons lists
  • A quick-reference booklet listing all the key tables, tasks and actions
  • The use of penguins in combat (yes, really)

At Close Quarters is just one of a range of supplements produced by BITS for Traveller.

*At Close Quarters was designed for use with the Imperium Games version of the Traveller rules (“Marc Miller’s Traveller” or “T4”), so uses some combat terminology specific to those rules. However, we hope that you can easily adapt these for your preferred rule set, using the adaptation notes at the start of the book.

Basically, At Close Quarters (ACQ) delivers alot less than it promises. While the rules are intended to streamline the combat system in Traveller and make the effort more "realistic," it seems to me that the original system (which I have neve [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
