Although the land elements of dw dont interest me really. If I want land battles at that scale, I have some Epic Eldar lying around, and will eventually browbeat an opponent out of somewhere...TheKing Elessarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04981821487098781957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6638616785966104829.post-84423900121286318122013-06-12T05:04:51.059+01:002013-06-12T05:04:51.059+01:00I've actually had the rules for a lil' bit...I've actually had the rules for a lil' bit, and I've been spending a bit of time going through them...maybe looking for things I don't like, cuz that's just the type of knucklehead I am.<br />Too much 'random,' too many special rules that counter, and counter-counter one another, too many restrictions when constructing a list...<br />I want to make darn sure the next game I invest money, time and effort into is one I genuinely want to play.<br />I ended up becoming interested in Dystopian Wars because <br />1)It's the only game I found that plays at that scale (dunno what to call it- large scale conflict, but with tiny minis...) that's popular enough that I might actually find other players...somewhere...<br />and<br />2) It actually does look well put together, all the way around.<br /><br />Sigh...I'll be picking up some starter sets and giving it a whirl.<br /><br />I'm curious to see just how 'big' this game can play, though- massive naval fleets, huge squadrons of airplanes, and giant columns or armor all on the table in an epic (yes, pun sorta intended) clash.<br />It looks like it might have the potential to fill this need I have to wage that kinda war on the tabletop.<br />Like an RTS on the PC, but with models.<br />;)<br />SinSynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12352693991857976930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6638616785966104829.post-81865291667488194072013-06-11T16:24:16.522+01:002013-06-11T16:24:16.522+01:00I havent really ever approached the game in the sa...I havent really ever approached the game in the same fashion as I do 40k. Whether this is because of my relatively recent involvement, because when the game first entered my radar I was still able to get a competitive fix from 40k, or because a lack of opponents means I dont see it as truly tournament sustainable here I cant say... Possibly a mixture of all three.<br /><br />For that reason, I won't claim to be an expert in the way I, as humbly as possible, simply am/was on 5e 40k. So the fact that I havent found any glaringly broken aspects yet isnt really the praise it ought to be - and yet I heartily recommend the game. I do find, as with 40k, that small points games tend to cause mismatches and balance hiccups though. Fewer than 1000 points I would say is unwise, except when learning game mechanics.TheKing Elessarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04981821487098781957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6638616785966104829.post-54834776822456387882013-06-11T03:03:16.745+01:002013-06-11T03:03:16.745+01:00Interesting.
