     We played our first game today. Overall tons of fun but are we missing something with movement planning and then movement?  What is the point of moving in reverse iniative order if everything is pre-planned? It seems those with higher initiative should be able to react to the movements of those with lower initiative or something?

    The one thing missing from the game seems to be a tailing mechanic. But otherwise it is lots of fun and plays quickly once you get the hang of it.

     

    Thanks

     I'll get both as well. Assuming they release a PDF at all they may be waiting simply as a courtesy to retailers. Traditional retailers often get upset that they have to compete with electronic products at all and such products that get an 'unfair advantage' by being released early gets them even more upset. Of course this is just speculation.

    Revised Core Set includes these units, all of which are exclusive to the Revised Core Set and are not available separately:

    Huh? All the units are available separately except the two walkers.

     Oops, I was wrong about range. You had that correct. We had been playing range from center of model as well, which is incorrect. But we don't have any heavies so it didn't seem as crazy as it would when your vehicle is 10" long. ;-)

     I'm a huge D6G fan but I had already purchased the DW rules before the episode came out. But the very positive review did spur me on to pick up the starter set and give the game a go a lot faster than I may have otherwise. And I'm glad I did although I suppose my wallet isn't. Curse Wakelin's Jedi mind tricks!

    I thought the review overall was one of their better ones (Dystopian Wars is still their all time best I think). While Romeo is certainly an acquired taste, and he was often off the mark, having him there was like having Raef. The discenting, somewhat uninformed, opinion can be helpful to Russ/Craig in making their own points and acts as a bit of a centering force. Romeo also simply tries to be funny in his own way. The minis are not 'gumbies' but he is correct that some are quite bendy (such as the Zombies). It will take paint and time to know if this is an issue or not (I suspect not). I loved his comment "I don't know why the little guns want to stay bent. You'd think it would be easier for them to be straight." I have also found using a heat gun straightens everything out in just a couple seconds. No need for boiling.

    But I've now listened to the review a few times while painting my Dust minis and have enjoyed the show each time. If nothing else it acts as a good motivator. I think Craig strikes the perfect note.

    Oh, for those who have not seen the Premium models in person they really are outstanding. Some of the American winter schemes were not that impressive but the vehicles and other troops I've seen are very well done. They are painted to a much higher standard than AT-43. Picking up even just a few units is a quick way to get a force going even if you want to paint your own.
