Well, there isn't a U.S. distributor. Unless you happen across a store
online that sells them, you're going to have to order from Britain.

I've ordered from GZG to both here in Louisiana and to Toronto, Ontario.
The turn around was nothing short of awesome. I ordered on a Monday and
had delivery on the Thursday in Louisiana, and once had delivery on the
Wednesday in Toronto.

When the products were produced/distributed by GeoHex here in the
States, it was still cheaper to buy directly from GZG. When Geo-Hex
closed their doors, I looked at buying some DSII stuff at their 20% off
rate. Only then was the price matching the cost from Britain, and that
included shipping.

I would just bite the bullet and order from the U.K., unless you don't
have access to a credit card. (This is something I don't think Jon takes
into account. In some places in the U.S. it's virtually impossible to
get a money order in Pounds Sterling, or any other currency for that
matter.)

The current version of the rule book is the 2nd edition, except that
large chunks of the rules have been superceded in the Fleet Books. For
the full version of the rules, as they are now, you need the Full Thrust
rule book and at least Fleet Book 1. An FT3 will be produced sometime in
the future, but no idea when. The old More Thrust book is out of print,
but available from the GZG web site as a free download.
