Most questions are answered. Thanks FFG.
Woot the FAQ is up all
That helps. But still no grenades for grenadiers?
nice to see many of the issues raised being delt with. Great work FFG, its nice to know you listen to us.
Yeah, they got Mack's FAQ up pretty quick. Most of the answers directly address forum concerns. Thanks, FFG! Great game!
Three cheers for Fast Sturmpioneires! (Hey, that rhymes, lol).
Huzzah!
Huzzah!
Huzzah!
And yeah, glad to see the weapons match up to WYSIWYG, and that Rhino & Ozz's fitness regimens payed off, and they can now keep up with their squads.
Perfect timing, we're doing demo tomorrow and I can say how fast FFG tackled this ! BRAVO Guys!
Yay. That pretty much answers any questions I had. Time to update my unit cards, it looks like.
There are new reference sheets on the support page now too.
They also put up Allies and Axis unit referance sheets on the Dust Warfare support page. Nice to have all the stats in one place until the cards come out.
Just looked at the reference sheets. They are nice, I suppose, but they don't have any descriptions of the special abilities or weapons abilities, and also don't show which figure is the unit leader, so while they're better than nothing, they still aren't going to do too much to prevent page-flipping.
And the reference sheet is almost totally useless for the walkers, because it lists all the weapons for all the different walkers of the same class, and doesn't even tell you which walkers have what weapons, ha!
If this is their long term plan to provide reference material, then fan-made unit cards are still going to really be the only way to go.
My Recon Rangers are nerfed!!!!!
(calm down, totally tongue in cheek)

A gazillion dice for just 16 APs - I went out and bought a dozen of these guys to put in my army, and now I have to return them all. **** you, FFG! ;-)
This just made my day.
Thank you FFG!
The only other thing I'd like to see you do at this point vis-a-vis FAQ/Errata is give Wargame Vault
a new version of the rulebook PDF, so
the folks who bought bought it can download the revision with the errata changes made.
Well, that and give the Grenadiers back their namesake weapon, lol.
As far as other stuff goes, I have three items I'd like to see addressed…
- Unit Cards
- Unit Cards
- Unit Cards
Fortunately, the community has a couple of awesome members making really good alternative ones until official ones arrive, but yeah I'd like official ones at some point.
In an interview with Mack, he said he was looking into doing one of a few different possible resolutions to the page-flipping for looking up units issue.
I'd say these unit reference sheets come across as their answer, making me think we won't see unit cards. Hopefully they will see how much the community wants them and will do it, but the longer they wait, the bigger the backlog is of units to create cards for, and the less likely we'll see it happen.
SWEET! Thanks FFG!

I think the reference sheets are just a temp. fix until they can get some cards printed and shipped.
For the life of me I cannot see why they would not print unit cards. They have them for dust tactics!
I'm sure Unit cards are coming.
I wonder though, why do they put in the Errata that Rhino should be listed as having HEAVY Rocket Punch, instead of Rocket Punch. I don't see any stats that are different between these and the regular Rock Punch. Any ideas?
Just figured it out - turns out the weapon stats are different from what's in the bok as well. If you check the Heavy Rocket Punch stat line on the new Allies Unit Reference PDF, it is different than what is listed in the book (which makes sense I guess, since they put in the wrong weapon for Rhino).
But just so you know, it's not just the name of the weapon they got wrong, but the stas as well.

Good catch.
On a somewhat related note, anybody else see the Irony in a unit stat PDF coming out the same day as the Errata which needs its own errata? Well, unless they meant for Totenmeister to have a stolen set of "Ze French Chef's" Creme Brûlée hand flamers.

Ah, thanks for that, I couldn't see the difference either :/
If anyone uses my unit cards, you'll find your Rhino card is already correct for movement, weapon name, and weapon stats as well. :-)
The Heavy Rocket Punch does one more point of damage to Infantry 3.
FFG needs to release those cards. They do such an awesome job with the current Tactics ones. I would love the high quality cards in my Warfare games too. People let's rally!
