Today we’re releasing three new items in our 10mm SF Buildings range. In this release we have two towers of different designs and a building with twin roof domes. All are single piece resin castings and are available now from the website.

B10-104 – Small Tower #1 – £3.50
B10-122 – Small Tower #2 – £4.00
B10-123 – Twin Dome Building – £3.50

We'd also like to remind everyone about the next show we're attending, Blast-Tastic! in Bristol next Saturday. Since this is an SF-themed show, we will not be carrying either the Celtos or Magpie fantasy ranges or the 28mm Great War Belgians. If you’d like anything from these ranges you’ll have to order in advance (either e-mail us or order from the website using the ‘Collect in person’ shipping option). And of course we’re happy to take advance orders for any other ranges as well.

LaserStorm, 6mm Sci-Fi!

More tanks, more robots, more war!

LaserStorm is 6mm science fiction on a massive scale.

Each troop stand is one vehicle or a 4-6 person fireteam. Units are platoons and the game can scale up to an entire battalion on the board, if you have the table space.

The game features:

*Card driven turn sequence, using a very small card deck.

*Not a single counter, marker or indicator placed on the table, ever.

*No record keeping or tracking for any units, ever.

*Combat rules are quick and straight forward.

*Units are distinctive in play: Tanks are durable but vulnerable to close assault, super heavy tanks are mobile bunkers and massive behemoths can stride right through a defensive line, crushing and terrifying enemy troops as they go.

*Morale system sees units driven off the table and brought back to resume the battle again. You can actually reorganize and redeploy during a game, to open up new fronts or outflank the enemy.

*Army commanders provide special deployment and combat options to their troops.

*Choose from 25 ready-to-play units, put your own together using a fast "Assembly Line" where you simply match up vehicle hulls and guns or use the points system to build your own troops from scratch.

*Unit types that can be built include infantry, tanks, grav vehicles, cavalry, field artillery, giant robots, heroes and many more.

*A standard objective-oriented scenario to get to grips with.

*Unit traits included to customize and build unique troops, such as scouts.

*Fully featured map-driven campaign rules, with troop upgrades.

*A small quick-play scenario that should be playable with almost any scifi figures on your shelf.

* * * * *

LaserStorm is intended for use with 3mm, 6mm and 10mm figures.

All dice used are plain, six-sided dice. No markers or counters are required but a deck of cards is recommended.

Good Ground, LLC is now Good Ground Miniatures, Inc.
Our recent move to Georgia has necessitated a minor change in name. Good Ground, LLC was, believe it or not, already taken. We will attend our first show as Good Ground Miniatures this weekend.

Good Ground is proud to associate our company with HMGS South. We shall attend HMGS South's Flag Ship convention, HURRICON, this coming weekend. We will have all our new figures in stock including the full range of Between the Lines Models, Cracker Line and Plank Road Miniatures and B Company Bases.

To add value to all our ranges, we now offer a full selection of all available barrels for the field and siege carriages for both Cracker Line and Gourmet Guns.

We also offer three different gun crew sets, each available in both Kepi and Slouch Hat. Our new Zoauves, Iron Brigade and Early-War Militia have been added to the Plank Road range. Wilder's Rifles, Dismounted Cavalry and Western Personalities are new to our Cracker Line range.

Come see us at Hurricon to talk about all the new and coming figures at Good Ground Miniatures.

See Yall There!

Good Ground, Keeping it simple

Greetings to all my friends and customers.

Over the last few years the number of codes available on my website have grown very quickly. I have added new figures to the site in a regrettably, rather convoluted way. My lovely spouse and assistant often rolls her eyes at the vast number of codes on our flyers. The final straw was a customer at Historicon that made the statement, "your codes drive me crazy". Therefore, I have undertaken a project to reduce the number of codes by selling most of the figure types as a single item, with options for pose and headgear. So this weekend I began to paint some of the new gun crews and personalities to begin the process. I plan to take some better pictures after the process of re-coding is complete.

In doing so, I have consolidated things such as gun barrels and crew into a few more easily understood options. This also means that guns will come with all available barrel options for the appropriate carriage. Simply order the gun carriage and the crew you wish and chose Kepi or Slouch Hats. No need to select the type of barrel.

Good Ground's Game for Hurricon will be Pea Ridge, Leetown.

This is a long process, but I will have it done in a few weeks. From this point onward, I shall take this approach with all new additions to my line. Don't forget, Good Ground will be at Hurricon in Orlando, FL September 24-27.

Finally, Good Ground will team up with Fire & Fury Games to run my huge Fredericksburg Scenario using Fire & Fury's pending new Brigade level rules. These are due out at Historicon next year to be followed quickly by a new scenario book penned by yours truly covering eight new scenarios for the revised new Brigade Rules.

Thanks, and Yahoo/Huzzah!

Berdan’s Sharpshooters

Good Ground announces our next set of figures for the Eastern Theatre of the American Civil War. They are of course, Berdan's Sharpshooters brandishing their Sharp's Rifles in skirmish poses. I modelled these figures to emulate the famous work by Keith Rocco. These will go into the same mould as our Irish Brigade figures and should be available on our site by mid-October.

The Irish Brigade are modelled after the famous work "Faugh au Ballagh" by Don Troiani. Both sets were sculpted by the talented Robi Baker. We are also bringing a set of casualties and surrendering figures to you some time later in October.

We now have the Zouave Regimental packs up on the site along with three gun crew poses in your choice of Kepi or Slouch Hat. Many new items are planned and we will be sure to announce them here on TWW!
