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.

The Japanese government suspects an attempt by the Americans to destabilize them, but in reality has no idea who is behind the attack. The only clues they have is of a secret organization called the National Defense Family, and the destruction of a United Nations Labor Unit. With time running out, the government calls upon Captain Goto and the Police Labor Force Division 2 to fill in the missing pieces...

Out Rim Coalition Power Armor Squad

Just picked up from Dick McGee : Painted 15mm scale metal heavy power armor unit with a lance of light mech suits in support from Ground Zero Games' Stargrunt range.  Intended for use as a starship assault boarding team, with the "little" power armor guys sweeping corridors and key control rooms while the heavier mech suits make the initial breaches if needed and then concentrate on the larger equipment spaces, cargo holds, and hangers.  Includes 6 ORC power armor troopers with thruster packs, shoulder missile & rocket pods, and a mix of PA weaponry backed up by four Cyclops mech suits (roughly size 1 walkers in Stargrunt terms) with a mix of weapons.
