FAQs

Hi, I'm new here and wanted to know if there is a FAQ section somewhere that I
can read before I start asking some already answered questions; mainly,
concerning interpretation of rules.

No, I'm not a rule-stickler, but *someone* that I play with can be
sometimes. Figured it would help out with some clarification.

Jon; just read the GZG newsletter and was wondering; do pics exist of the
"adult fig" section? Like to get an idea of what is involved. Plus, what is
"inked and polished"?

Plus, as an American, must I order stuff from Geo-Hex, or does GZG have
a dollars to pounds conversion rate?

There is a FAQ out there somewhere, but can't remember the address - I'm
sure someone will post it here for you, or else just web-search under
FULL THRUST and follow it from there.

Right, all the GC range are illustrated in our catalogue, but not in Paul
Owen's on-line version I'm afraid. GeoHex sell this range as the "JT's
Heavenly Bodies" line in the US, and they MAY have a few pics on their web
site. If you would like our UK catalogue with all the piccies in, send us 5
IRCs (International Reply Coupons, that you can buy from your Post Office) by
snailmail to the address in the update. The GC Adult range are a collection of
mildly erotic, slightly naughty little female figures, to 25mm scale, each
supplied with a round pewter
display "plinth". Most are nude or semi-nude, and they are all VERY
attractive. They are much like the old "Phoenix Follies" bigger (90mm) figures
that you may have seen available for the collector of "interesting
miniatures"... Some ARE actually useful as gaming miniatures (the Assassin,
the Mercenary and the Demonette fall into this category, as does our new
Angel which a lot of buyers are using as a statue atop a fantasy-style
tomb or temple!), but most of them are simply for fun! And before anyone
accuses us of blatant sexism [;)], it is pleasantly surprising how many
enlightened warganing wives/girlfriends buy them from us at shows,
either as gifts for their partners or because they want to paint them
themselves! "Inked & Polished" means the pewter casting is "blacked" (actually
chemically, with a silver nitrate solution, rather than actually using ink or
paint, but the effect is the same as if you gave it a black ink wash) and them
polished in a mechanical drum polisher (like a giant commercial version of the
little "pebble polishers" you get in hobby stores); the finished effect is a
figure that is dark in the recesses, and highly
polished on the highlights, giving that attractive "antiqued" look - for
a display piece it is a nice alternative to painting, especially on this sort
of collectors' figure.

Anything that GeoHex have in production and on sale for the US should be
obtained via them as sole licensee, but they don't have any problem with us
supplying directly anything that is not (or not yet) out in the US. Best to
check with them first what is and isn't available yet. The £ to
$
rate will be advised by your bank if you ask them - all payments to us
need to be as a bank cheque in £ sterling anyway, payable thru a UK bank. At
the moment I think it is somewhere around 1.7 $ to the £.

I was kinda wondering too... is it possible to order a catalog with pictures
of the range GZG sells?

my local shop carries a small bit of the line and even some of the terrain,
but i hate to order something that turns out i didn't really want.....

thanks CMC

The Meta-FAQ is at http://ds.dial.pipex.com/town/estate/ax16/grunt/meta-
faq.txt (HTML version also available but the plain text one is the primary
version). It's still awaiting some stuff, most of which I asked JT for a while
back. Now who was doing the DS and SG FAQs?

I was doing the SG FAQ. However I had a slight problem: where the hell do I
start? Now that I have something to go off, and little more time to do it in,
expect stuff soon...

Divide the FAQs into smaller portions. That is such as: Infantry
  Movement
  Attack
  Defense
  Activation
    Combat
    Non-combat
  Weapons
Morale Checks Vehicle
  Movement
  Attack
  Defense
  Activation
  Weapons
Etc.

Then place the FAQ regarding the section. This also makes it easier to
navigate/find information. You may also wish to place responses by Jon
Tuffley in a different color to denote them as "official".
