GZG NEWS, 24th May 2005:
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! For this
same reason, we would ask you all to please refrain from printing off
large numbers of copies of the files for all your friends - instead,
please encourage them to come to the site and get their own free
copy, and peruse the rest of the store while they are here.
Permission is given for downloaded files of the books to be stored
electronically, and/or to be printed out as hardcopies, for personal
use only. Neither electronic nor hardcopy versions may be sold or
charged for in any way, or used/distributed in any way other than for
purely personal use, without specific written permission from GZG
(use of multiple copies of downloaded products for the purpose of
running display or participation games is fine, provided the copies
are not sold to participants). All copyrights are retained by GZG.
Please also note that the pdf versions of the books are exactly as
originally published - thus a few items (especially things like the
ship miniature price listings, contact addresses and phone numbers)
are now very out of date! Please refer to the online catalogue
listings on the store for current availability and price information.]
--------------------------------------------

supplements wasn't enough.), we are also running some more of our
