Paul, I haven't seen this on the site yet; not pushing or anything, just
thought you might not mind the reminder. Or, I need directions.
Jon, may I also suggest you give some examples of savings to the list? And,
include approximate shippage to the USA.
Say, three FT MEGA FLEET DEALs, or three FT NEW STARTER FLEET DBL DEALs
with either FT-PAK-2 or FT-PAK-3, which, surprise surprise, would be
exactly the 150GBP cutoff for the highest discount! ;->=
For those with groups just starting, three FT NEW STARTER FLEET DBL DEALs
could be six different gun fleets, with the FT-PAK-2 being the carrier
group everyone would have to try going against SOMETIME. I suspect after the
deals are explained, and someone figures out splitting six or so ways, this
might be very tempting.
Oh, by the way, Jon, I'm not sure if someone pointed this out, but the
difference between Starter Fleet(FT NEW STARTER FLEET DBL DEAL) and starter
fleet(FT-PAK-1) is probably something you should explain. Otherwise, my
suggestion is very silly indeed.

It's up there - just click on the HUGE link on the front page of the
store! ;-)

For smaller orders, the VAT deduction goes a long way to covering the
shipping cost - so in total you pay something near the list price
(less the sale discount of course!). For larger orders the shipping goes up a
bit, mainly because we use recorded mail for higher value orders. The reason I
don't like to quote too much in the way of shipping costs is that they vary so
much according to what you order
- even with FT minis, some fleets have heavier ships than others -
the difference in weight between two different megafleets can be considerable!
> Say, three FT MEGA FLEET DEALs , or three FT NEW STARTER FLEET DBL
The old FT PAK 1 contains the FT rulebook and two small 6-ship fleets
- it will remain available until all the books are gone; the "new"
starter pack is a larger single-force deal intended for those who
have downloaded the rules as PDFs and just want some ships.

Fair enough!
I think I gave you plenty of room for a second pitch. ;->=

Only if you go there via www.gzg.co.uk. Via www.gzg.com you get to the website
as well, but no HUGE sale link.
Understood, Frits; I'd added the '.co.uk' to my favorites, but haven't
deleted the '.com'. I never get rid of anything. ;->=
Paul, mind you, this does not suggest in a minute you should be maintaining
all of the above. I really thought I'd selected the right one the first
time. I'll re-title it in my 'favorites'.

I just checked it via www.gzg.com (which IS the correct address -
I've never used gzg.co.uk) and it seems to work fine for me - first
you get to the screen with the big GZG logo, click on that and it takes you to
the front page of the site proper, with the big red
banner headline about the sale.... :-/

My bad. I never visited via gzg.co.uk, so that went ok. The stuff via gzg.com

Sorry!

The biggest
As Paul Boutin said in 1989 in response to the question "What do you think
will be the biggest
problem in computing in the 90s?" - "There are only
17,000 three-letter acronyms." (Actually 17576, but
close enough)
This is a case of reuse of a TLA.
The.net in the email address is unrelated to microsofts' '.Net' offering. It
dates back to the olden days of the Internet when one could tell a great deal
about a site by the top level domain in which it resided (.com,.edu,.mil,
etc).
Prior to a change in the mid to late 1990s (I forget the exact year), there
were very strict rules about where a given domain could be assigned. Some of
those rules still exist, but a few were either eliminated or greatly relaxed:
.edu = schools. At one time accredited
colleges/universities only, now just about any
post-high school educational facility. Even such
things a truckdriving 'academy' qualify. Technically,
even a high-school (heck even a pre-school) quailfies
now, but those generally end up in the national heirarchies (for publicly
funded schools) or in.com for the privately funded ones..com = general
businesses. Now, just about everything under the sun ends up here.
.org = non-profit organizations. Originally, it pretty
much had to be a group to whom donations were tax deductable under the laws of
the USA. Now it essentially anyone whose prefered name wasn't available as a
.com..net = network backbone providers. The big boys who provide the big pipes
to everyone else. Now, it is little more than a 3rd choice after you couldn't
get a.com or.org.
