Help! When I left San Diego 2 years ago, my local game shop was playing Full
Thrust, DirtSide and Star Grunt. I've returned to San Diego and now no one is
playing them. It apears that GW is taking over. The space gamers are all
playing Babylon 5 Wars. I need to find other players in the area to play
against. Then everyone will see how well we play against each other and want
to play GZG!!! Apparently, there is a new ground combat game called 'Vor' that
is supposed to be a generic combat system. Anyone know anything about it? Phil

and look for Vor.
The best description I've got comes from Military Simulations' catalog in
Australia, which has several paragraphs of description. It uses 25 mm figures
and is a skirmish game, a bit like GW's
Necromunda/Mordheim/Gorkmorka (but without vehicles) or Mutant
Chronicles or FMA. If you want more description, let me know and I'll type it
in.

Where did this come from? Was there a sudden drop in GZG shares:)
Just got back from the SELWG show in london, Jon/GZG looked
fine.
In fact I think drowning in drool as excited punters fought to get a look at
the new Islamic (I think) FT ships. They did look very good.
Mind you the show stealer for me was the "morale dice"
Didn't get a chance to ask you exactly how it's supposed to work!
Going to be great fun praying for a smiley face in the heat of a fire fight:)

Just to confirm this, our UK market (which is what supplies over 95% of OUR
turnover, as opposed to GeoHex's) is just fine - in fact it's getting
steadily better all the time. As to the situation in the US, you'll have to
ask KR about how that's going...... We expect to be around for a long time yet
(especially as I haven't made
enough money to retire on.....) :-)

You roll it and look at the top face when it stops rolling.... (sorry,
couldn't resist that!!) Seriously, it's not one of our own products, we just
buy 'em from our
regular dice supplier - but they're great fun and everyone needs a few
in their dice bag!

I have a brief article about it over at TMP.
