New to list

> > 3 - What is FMA?

Could you forward it to me please?

Hi

I`m new to this list so I am going to give a little bit of history and then
ask some questions.

I have been playing wargames for about 9 years now. I started on Games
Workshop (evil people) but saw the light two years ago when I brought Full
Trust and loved it and then last week brought Dirtside 2 at Games Fest. That's
the history bit done with.

Now the questions

1 - Are there any good miniatures for Dirtside and Full Trust apart from
GZG and Games Workshop?

2 - Are there any rules for the two offical alien races in Dirtside?

3 - What is FMA?

4 - Does Ground Zero Games have a web page of there own?

That all for now.

Live free or die trying.

Lots - let's see - for DS2, we have Irregular Miniatures (cheap,
variable quality, no web page); Scotia Micromodels (Simtac here in North
America. good but variable quality, Simtac has a webpage); and several smaller
manufacturers. Brigade Miniatures, several others. URLs, where I have
them, are all on my website -see my sig.

Ral Partha, too - nearly forgot them. Too many silly 'mechs, but some
nice aerospace vehicles & tanks.

Nope - want to write some for house rules?

> 3 - What is FMA?

I think it stands for Full Metal Anorak; this being some sort of strange
British gamer joke. It's the system used partially in DS2, more in SG2 and
loads in the beta-test FMA skirmish system. Basically, all those cool
dice (d4, d6, etc up to d12), with what die you use depending on quality of
unit, system, or circumstance.

right now, FMA is shorthand for the new skirmish level system that was
just released to the list grunts in 'very very beta test' form - and
even incomplete, it's very cool!

> 4 - Does Ground Zero Games have a web page of there own?

Not really - there is an online catalog of their stuff, but not an
ordering point. Again, see my website's Links page or the Ds2 page.

Geohex (GZG's N. American licencee) have a webpage
(http://www.geohex.com)
that is also quite complete.

Hope all this helps, and welcome to the list!

I've got it - just so you don't get 8 copies of the thing...
