We wanted to make a small supporting gesture towards the personnel from both sides of the Atlantic who are currently serving out in Iraq and Afghanistan, particularly those who are keen gamers, so we came up with the following idea:
We have allocated six sets of Full Thrust intro fleets, each worth £25.00 GBP (plus free rules!) to give away completely free to personnel currently serving out there in the hot zones - three sets for British troops at BFPO addresses, and three for U.S. ones via APO.
What we'd like is for people to contact me (via direct email to jon@gzg.com) and recommend a gaming friend/colleague/relative who is presently serving out in Iraq or A-stan, giving me the person's full Forces postal address; if you are actually serving out there yourself and are reading this, then you can recommend yourself if you wish!
I will give it a couple of weeks to get enough responses in, then I'll choose which six applicants get the free packages (either randomly or from what is written in the emails, that's up to me). Each person chosen will get a packet containing two 8-ship Full Thrust intro fleets plus a printed copy of the free FT Light intro rules - with the addition of just a few dice and a measuring tape, that's enough to play a complete game on any flat surface - I thought that FT is ideal for this project because you don't need any terrain or stuff like that! ![]()
THE RULES...
All applications must be submitted by email direct to me, at jon@gzg.com.... please mark the subject line "GZG FORCES FREE OFFER". Applications may be submitted by serving personnel themselves, or by friends/family etc on behalf of same.
Names of successful applicants may be published on various web forums etc unless specifically requested otherwise; if you would prefer us to withhold an applicant's name, please state this in your email; it will not affect the chance of being chosen.
There will be three sets for BFPO addresses and three for APO addresses; sorry, but we will only ship the packets direct to the Forces addresses given to us, we cannot ship them to home addresses. Recipients must be currently serving in Iraq or Afghanistan.
The actual fleets in the packets will be chosen at random from our ranges.
Packets will be sent out by us free of charge, with shipping costs paid by us, but in the unlikely case of any charges or duties being levied on the package by postal or customs services then the recipient will be liable for these.
The offer will close when I think we have enough applicants to choose from, but it will definitely be open until at least the first week of August - so get in quickly!
The proprietor's (that's me!) decision as to the allocation of the free sets will be final and no correspondence will be entered into.
