It's all well and good that there is another human
race with ships/land forces but this is supposed to
be SPACE THE FINAL FRONTEER not Interworld War I. Where is the "they are out
there and let's go and seek them out get into an argument and start shooting"
that can make space interesting.
At last count there were 10 human races and 3 alien races that GZG makes ships
for. The count was 17 human and 2 alien races in the 25mm ground pounders. I
guess that you can use non GZG in the GZG Universe as your "Aliens" but why
not another alien race from GZG.
Why not an alien race that is heavy into trade and generally peaceful till
provked (attacked or maybe a deal falls through) and then extremely agressive.
There ships and bases are here there and everywhere but no one location that
can be targeted for a
knockout blow. A new line of ships and/or a new
line of ground figures for the GZG Universe.

G'day guys,

Laserlight's wish is my command (with in very restricted bounds of reason
before I find myself painting up a division of IF!):
My GZGverse spin off is at
http://www.users.bigpond.com/derekfulton/Beth%20GZG/Bethverse.htm
(Unfortunately I haven't had time to implement any of the changes to fonts etc
people suggested, sorry about that).
Briefly the aliens are:
Bâzvô - A spongiform species, they require the critical mass of a
"colony of polyps" to express human equivalent intelligence via a hive mind.
If you lie between them and their goal then you are attacked otherwise you're
ignored.
Gaonahe - Isolationist arthropoids who use colour to communicate and
rely on artificially intelligent robotic drones for the majority of the menial
and potentially dangerous tasks (they abhor physical threats).
Gruntah - Think wombat-centaur-like critters with a coat of fine
whiskery red feathers, 3 pairs of legs, 360 degree field of vision, and
articulating dorsal armour plates under the skin. They are largely nomadic and
not very technologically advanced. Due to some not very stirling human
behaviour they're not on the best of terms with the human inhabitants of their
world.
Horocca - Highly intelligent ursoid species that are naturally very
impetuous, intelligent and accepting. Not very aggressive, but they learn fast
when put upon by others...
Shlandarsh - This xeno-nation contains two species. The dominant Sssstck
(aquatic elongate reptilianoid species) who are environmentally conscious,
wary, ruthless, expansionist, and aggressive with a combat
oriented culture. And the octopus-like Tptp who live mainly on land and
don't seem quite as "angry" as the Sssstck, but they can still hold their own.
The Sa'Vasku are also kicking around, but more in a "they came and kicked our
human butts and left again" sense.
There is/was a gzg-aliens list but it was never very active (not sure if
you knew of it/ were on it Scott). There were a few good ideas that came
up there though and if you're interested I could dig up the posts I kept.
Cheers

Oh, I'd say merely a reinforced battalion each of 6mm IF, PAU, and Alarishi,
plus a couple of squads of 25mm Aussies and Scots, would be
plenty. I'll need them by this upcoming ECC, thanks. ;-)
The wonderful webpage with the ".ca" ending (which I forget at this
moment) has a xenology set of alternative/additional Aliens available.
