The February issue of Miniature Wargames has an advertisment for GZG. There
are pictures of their Hammer's Slammers type blower panzer and APC. The panzer
is fantastic looking, the APC less so (personal opinion only, I just thouht
they looked more like an SdKfz 151) but still the best I have yet seen. They
both come with crew. There are also some pictures of the Phalon ships, they do
seem to live up to their nicknames.

The designs for the Panzer and the Combat Car were thrashed out between John
Treadaway (Warlords) and myself in many long discussions by phone and
email - John went through all the books and other references (the old
Mayfair game etc.) with a fine-tooth comb, and picked out every detail
and descriptive reference he could find. We think they're fairly close to
Drake's intentions, though anything drawn from purely written descriptions is
bound to vary in different people's mental image. All the Phalon fleet is now
out, and (shameless plug) the big ships look
awesome - especially the Dreadnought (UNSC codename "John Holmes"
class....*).

Combat Car looks very good IMO. Are these going to be limited in numbers?
Please, please do a 6mm version.

Fleet Book II is due out April 24th (Salute) to contain Kra'Vak, Sa'vasku,
Phalons.

New GZG logo is cool - do you have an electronic version?

I only have all the smaller phalons. Phalons really need FB2.

Also the smaller ones could easily double as DS2 bio-tanks.

I assume these things have some new armour rules to account for the huge

shells and big bio splodge guns that I guess fire out of the probosis. Have to
wait till April.

V Good Ad, best for months.

OK, so who is going to scan the darn thing in so those of us without easy
access to this magazine can see the new logo and pics of the Phalons?

Thanks!
