I can only see one minor problem with that, can we still order directly
from GZG?  While I currently order everything that is done in the US
from a US supplier, some things you just can't get here.  For instance
the 15mm stuff that John casts only by request.  I guess that really
depends on the contract.

I would hate to see the setup that goes the way of the Essex miniatures.
One individual has the exclusive rights in the US, and he absolutely
refuses to sell their fantasy miniatures.  Therefore the only way to
get them (since Essex won't sell direct because of their agreement) is
to go around them.
