IMPORTANT NOTE! There
is still time to get orders in for our

for full details - offer closes on
Wednesday 31st August!
.....................................
All parts of the new
332/333 modular freighters, plus those of
the 331 hauler, use the same system of
locating pegs as used on all our UNSC ship
range and several other parts of the newer
FT fleets - this means that you can
mix-and-match parts across different
fleets in many cases, giving your
merchants even more variety or making
auxiliary vessels for your military forces
(for example, the 332A and 333A new cargo
modules will fit the drive and command
sections of the FT1116 UNSC fleet tender,
and conversely the modules from the FT
1116 may be used with the new FT 334/335
freighter sections. The cargo pod
"train" from FT331 may also be
fitted with a suitable "bridge"
and drive unit to make an excellent
longhaul container ship; the possibilities
are endless!).
........................................
A system of linking
components for making up small space
installations, great for scientific
outposts, research stations, small space
factories etc. More sections to come soon,
including weapon and sensor modules for
defensive installations, command modules,
extension links and other specialized
bits.
The connectors between the modules are the
same as for the new merchant range above,
so again you can mix and match parts as
you wish!
FT 362 General Purpose
(GP) module - accommodation, lab etc. 1.00
each
FT 363 Power module with reactor and
backup solar panels 1.50 each

- The Full Thrust 2nd Edition
rulebook and both Fleet Books 1
and 2 are now available as FREE
PDF downloads from the GZG
website. More Thrust has been
available as a free PDF for a while so
now the whole set of Full Thrust rules
are available for free.
Plus
they now have a new mid-sized fleet
starter pack available plus additional
specials through June 12th. The
following was send out by Jon Tuffley:
The FULL THRUST
Rulebook (2nd Edition), FLEET BOOK 1
(Major Human Powers) and FLEET BOOK 2 (Xeno
Files - Alien forces) and now ALL
available online as FREE pdf downloads
from our website - go to www.gzg.com
and look for the "downloads"
page!
Fleet Book 2 has
been out of print for some months now, and
stocks of the printed versions of Fleet
Book 1 and the Full Thrust rulebook are
now running very low (some ARE still
available for purchase if you want
original hard copies, but get them soon -
there are very few left, and once they are
gone, they are gone!).
As we are working on
a new 3rd edition of the game, we've
decided it is not viable to re-print the
original 2nd edition books, so we are
making them available in pdf form at no
charge; our hope is that while you are on
our site to download the rules, you'll
take a look at the huge ranges of FT ships
and other miniatures that we have to
offer, and buy some!
[Notes to customers:
Please feel free to post links to the pdf
copies wherever you like, but please do
NOT post actual copies of the files
themselves to other websites - we are
happy that anyone can come to our site and
freely download the files for their own
use, but in return we do want people to
actually visit the store site and
hopefully be tempted to buy some stuff at
the same time!]

Well,
after some concentrated work over the last
few days (to the exclusion of other little
things like food and sleep...), ALL the
sculpting for the full NI fleet is now
finished! Availability on all the new
items is PROVISIONAL, as we can never be
100% sure that they will mould OK until we
try it - but assuming they all do, they
should be ready for sale by the end of
this week! [All prices in GBP]

Special
thanks to Noam Izenberg for the ship class
names!
I'm
really happy with all of the new minis,
but the SDN and CVH, in particular, look
VERY impressive! You may notice the slight
increase in price on the big classes
compared with the other fleets, this is
partly because these models are BIG, but
also because the price of metal has gone
up horrendously over the last few months -
we're talking around a 40-50% materials
price increase overall. We're holding the
prices of all the existing lines steady at
the moment (though we may be forced to
make some increases soon - so if you want
stuff order it now at the current
prices!), but given the size of these new
models and the amount of metal that will
be in them we think the prices are still
very reasonable - we're sure that you'll
agree once you see them!! (Yes, there will
be pictures - just as soon as we've
assembled the first castings out of the
master moulds).
One
point of note: we'll be offering the usual
MEGA FLEET pack deal on the NI ships, and
it will be the same price as all the other
Megafleet deals - 50 GBP, AND have the
same mix of ships - so this means that
this particular fleet deal will be even
BETTER value compared with the individual
mini prices!!
Watch
the online store for news of some special
extra deals for those of you who are among
the first to order the new NI ships too.

online in the Downloads section of the GZG

were just released:
FT 425 Kra’Vak TO’KI class Destroyer
FT 625 FSE HYDRA class Destroyer
Plus,
the update said:
"Just
a couple of FT releases this month, but
definitely a taste of things to come! Over
2003 we plan to add some NEW ship
classes to the existing FT fleets, as
well as creating more completely new
fleets for you. The two ships in the
photo are the first new additions to the
Federal Stats Europa and Kra’Vak
forces, and are also the first to be
sculpted for us by Oerjan Ohlson - we
think you’ll agree he’s done a
superb job of following the style of the
original FSE and KV ship designs while
creating some excellent new miniatures. Watch
out for a lot more coming in the FT line
throughout 2003!"

- Power Projection Lite, starship

- GeoHex is no longer the North
American distributor for Full
Thrust and other GZG
products. I had been hearing
rumors about this for a while but was
waiting for this official word before I
posted anything to make sure I had the
facts straight:
GZG
NEWS RELEASE (28.04.02):
From
GZG - publisher of FULL THRUST,
STARGRUNT and DIRTSIDE, and >
manufacturer of all associated
miniatures ranges.
With
immediate effect, we have agreed with
GeoHex to terminate the licence under
which they have acted as our North
American agent, licencee manufacturer
and distributor. This in no way reflects
adversely on either company (GZG or
GeoHex), but is due to the changing
market for games products and miniatures
on both sides of the Atlantic. GeoHex
will no longer be manufacturing our
lines under licence, and will not be
supplying any GZG product after June 4th
2002.
We
at GZG are still VERY much in business,
supplying all our product lines by
direct mailorder from our base in the UK
- customers throughout the world are
welcome to order online from our Store
site at <www.gzg.com>; we pride
ourselves on providing an easy, quick,
efficient and friendly service with
surprisingly low shipping costs. Please
check the Store site out - we will have
some very special offers and deals
running throughout the month of May!
At
the moment we have no immediate plans to
appoint a new US distributor, though if
this changes we will of course announce
it as soon as we can - in the meantime,
we are very happy to supply you
directly. As well as individual
sales to customers, the termination of
the distibution licence means that we
can now also offer direct trade sales to
retailers in North America - retail
stores can email to <jon@gzg.com>
for further details.
Please
feel free to email me at <jon@gzg.com>
if you have any other queries or
questions at all.
Jon
Tuffley, GZG, April 28th 2002.
4/25/2002
- I've received the following
announcement from Dominic Mooney of BITS
(British Isles Traveller Support):
'Power
Projection' is the planned title for the
BITS Traveller Full Thrust game, which
will be completely stand alone in the
vein of the Earthforce Sourcebook for
Babylon 5 RPG.
It's been some 5 years in the making and
grew out of an irrational urge of mine
to try a conversion of Full Thrust to
Traveller, called 'Fifth Frontier
Thrust'. This didn't have quite the feel
I wanted and so I started to develop a
more Traveller-specific version (in
particular trying to capture the feel of
'classic' Traveller's (CT) 'High
Guard'). Jon Tuffley of GZG was really
helpful about the whole thing, lending
us miniatures and a GeoHex map, and
making the odd suggestion.
Where is it now? Think of it as being in
a late beta stage.
Key features include:
- Vector movement (inspired by CT 'MayDay',
similar to the 'Fleet Book 2' rules
(from Full Thrust, not Greg Ellis'
'FOTS: TCOM'). No calculations needed,
only a tape measure.
- Extremely deadly spinal mount weapons.
- Battery damage table for secondaries
(this is a CRT but was the only way to
avoid gadzillions of dice rolls as
Traveller has so many defense systems).
- Massed fire table (statistically
derived spread of results so you can
mass fire a big ship like a Tigress
Class in 40 rolls not 400).
- statistical resolution for threshold
checks (i.e. like the Tigress
example above, you can roll 400
threshold checks in 40 rolls)
- Ship conversion sequence (ships are
designed using CT's 'High Guard'
system).
- Stats for all ships in the CT
supplement 'Fighting Ships'.
- Simultaneous movement, initiative
based firing.
- Inertial sand clouds and EMP bursts
which mess sensors up, giving space
terrain.
- Gravity effects.
- Black Globe forcefields.
- Psionics rules.
- Crew quality rules/experience.
- Fighters by squadrons (pseudo-vector
vector movement).
- Missiles with multi-turn duration
(pseudo-vector movement).
Still to be finished:
- Campaign system.
- Some minor rules.
We hope to release it later this year -
GenCon UK or Strange Days are our
working targets and it is likely to be
in a different format to the usual BITS
books - with GZG's help it will
hopefully more closely resemble a
standard Full Thrust book.
An engagement with a number of ships
(i.e. 4-8 cruisers+) should be fightable
in just a couple of hours - it does
depend on how heavy your players get
working out positions etc - the game
does encourage this as
spinal mount weapons only fire every
other turn, and the EMP bursts play with
range.
We've been playing it using GZG
miniatures (NSU, FSE and OU ships),
which look nice and Traveller-esque.
2/27/2002
- GZG has released the rest of
the Japanese Fleet. Again the
pictures are on the GZG Online store but
I did pull them over here for your
viewing pleasure. Click on the
thumbnails for larger pics.
2/13/2002
- GZG has made their More
Thrust supplement available for free
on the web as a set of 4 pdf files (173k
to 277k in size) available here http://www.gtns.co.uk/gzg/mt/.
The
PDFs of MT have been put up as
free downloads for anyone who wants
them; if you download them, please be
aware that a LOT of the material in MT
has been superceded by the two Fleet
Books, so the FB rules take
precedence in case of a clash. When I
copied the files from the Printer's disk
to a zip for Paul, there were some
problems with fonts that I didn't have,
so most of the book has Helvetica
substituted for the original text fonts;
I think most of the layout has been
preserved OK, but if anything looks odd
that's why! I also didn't have links to
most of the original pictures, so those
on the PDFs are in many cases the very
low-res, pixilated proof versions that PageMaker
embeds in the document (and some may not
be there at all!) . But, hopefully it's
the rules text you're after, and that
should all be readable - enjoy!!
1/24/2002
- The new ships in the Japanese Fleet
are now in the GZG online store,
along with pictures. I've got the
pictures here, click on the thumbnails
below for larger pictures and multiple
views of the larger ships.
1/22/2002
- More info on the Japanese Fleet from
Jon of GZG, pictures will come
when available:
Just
to let you know that a significant part
of the FT Japanese fleet is now
completed (that is, sculpting all done)
and ready for pre-production mould
making; this should be done in the next
day or two, and IF they all work out OK
then they'll be production-moulded and
on sale by early next week. As soon as
this happens, I'll get Paul to put them
on the store site and you can all start
ordering them! To give you a taster,
PROVISIONAL classes/codes/prices
are.......

moulding problems notwithstanding, of
course); still under construction are a
Heavy Cruiser, Battlecruiser, Battleship
and Light Carrier - these will be
following very quickly behind the first
lot. Like the first ships of the range
(1305/1307), all have a very strong
Anime influence.....
More
news as things progress! Don't forget
that if you want the Jap ships, but also
want to take advantage of the
January-only Mega-Fleet deal, you CAN
pre-order a fleet now and get it at the
deal price.
1/16/2002
- Jon of GZG made the following
announcement on the GZG mailing
list:
...work
is progressing nicely on the Japanese
Fleet - under construction at the moment
are the Dreadnought and Carrier, plus a
Heavy Battleship and a Heavy
Cruiser/Battlecruiser (class to be
decided once it's finished and I see
just how big it's turned out!); next on
the slips will be some of the small
classes (scouts, corvettes, frigates)
plus the fighters (probably in both
