I've been lurking on the list for a few weeks now and I thought I should
introduce myself. I am a US soldier stationed in Okinawa, Japan and I play
Warhammer 40K, Full Thrust and now Dirtside II. I've been playing Full
Thrust for about 2 years now, when I PCS'd to Japan I was playing
Battlefleet Gothic. When some of the other guys in the local gaming club
introduced me to Full Thrust I switched over instantly (I used to hate the
fact escorts died in 1-2 hits, plus having a design system for custom ships
rocks!) Lately I've been getting agrevated more and more with GW over their
codex creep. I'm an Ork player, so no shiny toys (or new codex) for me, not
that I care I still win over half my games (Choppas rule, ;-)). So I
downloaded the Dirtside II rules and played the first scenario in the back.
This was after scouring the net for cardstock buildings and vehicles to
print and assemble. I must say once you run through a couple of turns the
game is faster than 40K, I like the chits and markers system. I got my
first few models from GZG monday and finished up a few last night. Once I
get my infantry painted I'll play another game and take some photos. I'll
be running a demo game this weekend for my gaming group and hopefully I can
get some other interested. Personally, I think the smaller scale will draw
some interest as fire & maneuver plays a bigger part in 6mm scale than 28mm
(40K).
