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.

particulars of copyright law and fair use in the jurisdiction you
happen to be in, you might wish to visit

Thank you for your time,
