A full set of rules for G-Ball was published as a 14 page supplement with
an issue of Signal GK ( I can't find out which one ). The rules and
related discussion document on the place of G-Ball in the Imperium were
also put into the HIWG archive as 176_01 and 176_02, both by Nick Law
in Aug 91.

If you can't get hold of the documents I can provide paper copies of
them.

Great News!!  As soon as I get my next paycheck I'm getting it.
Whether it was our complaining or GDW's own realization the plasma gun 
and fusion gun are BACK!!!

Strike fear into the hearts of those who oppose your well equipped PC or 
NPC forces with the thundercrack and ligthning bolt of plasma.

Just like I always said...I can accept a plasma/fusion gun to very 
expensive and to have a relatively high attenuation but they should be 
absolutley bleeping devastating at short range with portable cartridges.
I look forward to picking it up.  Striker II that is.  I can begin 
posting forces and scenarios and designing vehicles etc.
