Onno, would you be interested in any additional details that can be gleaned from the text and pictures in "Shines the Name (Combat Command: In the World of Robert A. Heinlein's Starship Troopers)" by Mark Acres, published 1987? It's a sort of Choose-Your-Own-Adventure with some stats to keep track of as you go (eg, how many troopers you've got with you, their current morale, etc.). And, as opposed to several other tie-in media, this book actually seems to take place in the same universe as the original novel. Ad from Dragon magazine: http://www.gamebooks.org/gallery/ads/CombatCommand.jpg If you'd like your own copy, http://www.bookfinder.com/search/?author=mark+acres&title=shines+the+name&lang=en&submit=Begin+search&new_used=*&destination=ca¤cy=CAD&mode=basic&st=sr&ac=qr suggests price+shipping is around $12. Or, depending on the particulars of copyright law and fair use in the jurisdiction you happen to be in, you might wish to visit http://www.the-underdogs.info/showbook.php?id=27 for a PDF.
