GZGs Verse

Back in the late 90s (Gods has it been that long...lol) we would run a campaign using all three GZGs systems, we'd start out fighting for system control with Full Thrust, then do a pre-landing (Special Ops) mission with Stargrunt in 25s, then run the main planetary invasion/defense with Dirtside in 6mm, the advent of 15mm troops lets me cut out a step or two.....Thank you Jon (and others) for adding to the addiction ! This is what was used to run the campaign: This is the current Full Thrust/Stargrunt II astropolitical map, showing all the currently assigned empires, canonical and non-canonical. It is in *.gif format. This map will be subject to frequent updates, so be sure to check the "last modified" date at the top. It is based on Map 2. Note that it says "non-canonical" at the top.

GZG Final pre-SALUTE Update

UPDATE - FRIDAY 21st APRIL 2017:
Final pre-SALUTE update.....
Better late than never, I guess.... only one day now before SALUTE, I'm heading down to ExCel this afternoon to set up.... for those of you making your way there tomorrow, we will be in pretty much the same place as the last couple of years - stand TE02. If you turn left as you come in from the queueing area, we're at the end of the second row of tradestands. There are quite a few new releases, including 15mm ones for the Brethren, PAU, CDF, FSE, Xar, Islamics, Kra'Vak and more - PLUS some new FULL THRUST codes for the Crusties - some really lovely new fighters and strikeboats, all 3D designed by MMG!
Oh, and we now have a new stock of the FT STARTER GAME BOXES, so these will be on sale again at a SPECIAL SHOW PRICE but will also be available again to mailorder next week.
I will have SOME stock of all the new items at the show, but a few of them will be in very small quantities only, so if you want to get them before they are sold out then please make us one of your first stops when you get into the hall!
Hope to see lots of you tomorrow, safe travels to the show......

Thanks for reading.

Last Call GZG Christmas Offers

UPDATE - WEDNESDAY 21st DECEMBER 2016:

JUST TWO DAYS TO GO ON THE CHRISTMAS SPECIALS!

Well, we're counting down to Christmas now, as I write this there are two-and-a bit days left to run on the Christmas offers before I close up for the holidays on the 23rd - orders received up till MIDNIGHT UK TIME on the 23rd will be included in the offers (if they are over £30 in total value, of course), but obviously they won't be dispatched until after Christmas. I will continue to cast, pack and dispatch orders up to and including the 23rd, but things are now getting very busy and inevitably there will be some orders placed this week that won't go out this side of the break, especially ones containing items that I don't hold in ready stock such as the 25mm and 6mm ranges; right now I'm dispatching each day the orders that can be fulfilled quickly from shelf stock, and then seeing what else I can process in the time that is left.

Oh, and a HAPPY WINTER SOLSTICE TO ALL!

Thanks for reading.

UPDATE : GZG CHRISTMAS SPECIALS!

UPDATE - MONDAY 12th DECEMBER 2016:

UNDER TWO WEEKS LEFT ON THE CHRISTMAS SPECIALS!

Things are going quite well at the moment, the pre-Christmas orders are coming in and (mostly) going out again pretty quickly - a few are taking an extra few days, especially where they involve casting items that I don't hold in stock (for example, most of the 25mm figure ranges), but most orders are being shipped out within a couple of working days of receipt. Hopefully I will be able to keep up with things right up to the Christmas close-down on the 23rd, but if things do slip by a few days I hope you will all understand!

Every year I have some regular customers who wait until the last minute to place their orders, just in case there is a surprise batch of new releases just before Christmas - well, I can definitely tell you that there will NOT be any more new items out this side of the New Year, BUT there will be a whole bunch of new stuff launched in early January (you didn't think I was going to REALLY take any time off over Christmas, did you?), including a completely NEW 15mm force to add to the huge selection already available! So, you can go ahead and place your pre-Christmas orders soon without fear of missing out on anything, and then you can redeem your New Year vouchers against some of the new stuff as soon as it is out!

For full details of the Christmas and New Year special offers which run until the 23rd December, please see the front page of the GZG webstore.

I hope that you are all well and that your preparations are coming along, and once again I wish all my customers old and new a very happy and safe Christmas Season!

Thanks for reading.

Campaign Ideas

My friend over on Super Galactic Dreadnought

had a few questions

about doing a star ship campaign,

http://supergalacticdreadnought.blogspot.com/2011/04/campaign-wishes.html

here are my answers:
*******************************************************

Had a few ideas how to go about this that I wanted to run by you.

I must admit up front to being a big Firefly fan, so here goes.

Place the planetary system in-between two rival powers with
a civil war ongoing backed covertly by the two powers. This is
where your players come in.You give your players each a
Corvette classed ship (second line)and they have to be the
gun runners one of the sides in the conflict. They would have
to pick up the weapons transport them back to the planet, moon,

space station or faction ship. All the while avoiding both the small
planetary defense forces of the other faction and patrol ships of
the other major power.

*******************************************************
This campaign can be run by you separately and then folded into
my bigger campaign this summer...more on that to follow.
