Good news for all those in the UK needing to deal with GZG. Jon has
recently hired an extra staff member and has assured everyone on the GZG
mailing list that the turn around should improve very soon.

Isn't he what? From all the correspondence I've had personally with him as
well as on the GZG list he seems to be one of the nicest persons around.

I will second this. I have seen the GZG Dirtside infantry and they ARE
superb. Also for those of you looking for good substitutes for ANY 6mm
futuristic tanks, you can't go past the GZG Dirtside range. They are
excellent.

These wouldn't be the not-Babylon 5 fighters would they ;-). Yes. The
fighters look very good too. Especially the not-Narn fighters...
In fact, the entire Full Thrust starship range are some of the best ship
miniatures around. Even the anatomically suspect Phalons...
