2 Ground Zero Games
GZG started out in 1984/5 as a very small part-time operation
(no more than an extension of my own hobby), casting a few
15mm resin SF items. The first rules set, G-Cav (for 15mm
squad/platoon actions, about the same level as SGII) was
published in 1985, with a total print run (OK, copy run!) of 100.
Dirtside I followed in 1989, and Stargrunt I in 1990. GZG became
a properly-organised full time business in 1991, around the same
time as the release of Full Thrust 1st ed. There were only ever
a couple of hundred copies of FT 1 made, as we decided to go for
an A4 colour-cover edition (FTII) almost immediately, with the
first printing being early in 1992. DS II followed in 1993,
with More Thrust in 1994. SGII was released in 1996, and most
recently the FT Fleet Book vol.1 in 1998.
In late 1996 GZG expanded from a one-man to a two-man business
with the addition of Dave Garnham to deal with much of the
production side, and in early 1997 we moved from a home-based
business to a workshop unit.
- -----------------------------------------------------------
3 The Games
At the moment GZG produce three Science Fiction wargames:
FULL THRUST (FT) is an award winning generic starship combat game.
The first edition was published in 1991. The second edition in 1992
and the third edition will be published later in 1998 or in 1999. All
three editions use the same basic rules systems.
A supplement, MORE THRUST, ws published in 1994. Another, THE
FLEET BOOK, has recently been published (1998) and bridges the gap
between the second and third editions, containing an advanced design
system as well as over fifty ship designs.

DIRTSIDE II (DS2) is a battalion level ground combat game, designed
for the 1/300, 1/285 or 1/200 scales. It was published in 1993 and
uses the Full Metal Anorak (FMA) rules system. The original Dirtside was
published in 1989 and used a different rules system.

STARGRUNT II (SG2) is a platoon level ground combat game, designed
for the 15mm, 25mm or 28mm scales. It was published in 1996 and is
compatable with Dirtside II, also using the FMA rules system. The
original Stargrunt was published in 1990 and used a different rules
system.

In addition the FT rules served as the basis for the ship to ship
combat rules of the Babylon Project Role-playing Game from Chameleon
Eclectic. This rules were included in the Earth Force Sourcebook.
Good web site starting point:
The earlier version of the Stargrunt rules provided part of the basis
for the Kryomek rules system from Fantasy Forge (1991). (Now published
by
Kryomek Ltd.)
