While I did not have Mongoose Traveller prior to getting Attack Squadron: Roswell, I have a long time interest in UFOs, ever since reading Edward Ruppelt's book, The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, as a kid. The game looked quite interesting, and after contacting the author for more information, I purchased the game, and found if extremely interesting. Sufficiently so that I purchased Mongoose Traveller in order to fully understand how to use the game. I like the events tables for developing a character, as it gives him far more background than simply die rolls. In addition, it includes the XF-85 Goblin, an aircraft-borne jet fighter, the concept of which I have always found fascinating. The game does a very good job developing a basis for the UFOs, and catching the flavor of the period. It has a wide range of scenarios to give ideas for possible game sessions, which also provide ideas for other scenarios. The Traveller skill table has been very well adapted to reflect the period. Overall, I rate the game 5 Stars.

Paul Elliott and Zozer Games, redefine Traveller not as dreary and uninspiring Space Opera heuristic but a heuristic for all types of Science Fiction games. In this case, Zozer Games, with Attack Squadron Roswell returns to the same wonderful mix of Hard and Soft by using Traveller to explore the genre of Alien Invasion films of the 1950s. For this provides an excellent skeleton building upon great Traveller products of the past like the flawed COACC but does not quite reach the global scope that Traveller demands. One should certainly buy this product, if they are looking to expand one’s own Traveller universe either in the direction suggested by the ATU or as I said, with modification, the OTU. For as I read the supplement, images of how to incorporate these concepts into my TNE game floated past. Certainly, a few good campaigns can be set in the 1950s, as Atomic Age Cthulhu or the author’s own GURPS Atomic Age shows the time period is a rich era for role playing…and the sheer profusion of films novels highlighting this pulpish yet hard science fiction makes it perfect for Traveller players who crave the mixture of hard and soft. Thus, I wholeheartedly recommend this product.

Awesome setting book. Each Zozer Games product seems to focus on one "gimmick," which in this case is air-to-air combat. Well done and very inspirational. Looking forward to running this one!
