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.

Thrust WWW Page

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.)
