Dust Tactics: too obvious white hats/black hats characters?

By mostrojoe, in Dust Tactics General Discussion

Posted at

Why there must be ever an american officer that has the nickname of a porno-actor and a slender german lady suited in black spandex?

Giant Apes (so disappointing...) and zombies are in Weird War yet, why in Dust Tactics? Are we going to see soon werewolves and vampires?

An original game or "Hellboy: Tactics"?

Do you think that a more "military" feeling should be taken in Dust, despite its obvious pulp theme?

How many factions you would like to see?

What you would NOT like to see in Dust, in future?

Where are meanwhile the British, the Italians, the Soviets, the French, the Chinese and Japanese? And the rest of the Commonwealth troops?

Ill accept werewolves, but do not want vampires. And if you ever read any of Paolo Parente's interviews, he clearly states Hellboy as a strong influence on his ideas. I want more of a "pulp" feeling as there are a million other WW2 games out there if you want more straight classic WW2 action.

Pretty sure Bazooka Joe is the nick name of a chewing gum company not a porno star. And Femme Fatales are a classic staple of Pulp and WW2 Adventure Stories (ever see Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade?).

Giant Apes are great. Zombies are great. Yes they are in Weird War but guess what? Dust Tactics is Weird War genre. The moment the game said "and then the Nazis found alien technology" it became Weird War.

The British have a unit coming out soon, the Russians are well covered in non-FFG fluff but not yet officail FFG releases the Chinese and Japanese are far away in Asia and so far Dust has only covered Europe and Antartica. Technically, the French and British are as simple as whatever paint scheme you choose for your allied figures while the Italians, Austrians and Germans are simple paint schemes as well.

Sounds to me like you are playing a game that you really dont have any interest in. So I dont think the question should be "why is Dust Tactics doing things I dont want it to do?" to "Why am I playing Dust Tactics?"

I agree with you Peacekeeper. Dust would not be Dust without the wicked chics in spandex.

If you do not like the game, sell me your stuff. I will pay you well for something you clearly do not even want.

The game is based off the comic...spandex is more than characters have in the comics. I agree with liking the military feel more...but either way I am happy.

The comic was horrid. Horrid I say! But I like the general ideas behind the comic, just the execution was heavily flawed.
