My son and I ( he is 9) played our first game of Dust Warfare today. We previously had just one game of Dust:Tactics under our belt. Last night we collected all the files you guys have done and uploaded them to Walgreens and used the coupon code. I want to say these were a lifesaver. We picked up the cards this morning and went to breakfast . We then cut some dowels I had to make 6" and 12" range rulers. We set up our terrain board and placed our terrain. We sort of used the battle builder. We ended up with the objective mission but instead of 4 secret objectives we used just one non secret one. We have a new cool bridge terrain piece so we put a tank trap in the center of the bridge and made that our objective. We fought hard on both sides all 5 rounds. In the end we both had leaders touching the objective. I had killed one more unit than my son so I won the tie breaker on points. We both had a blast. We used just the starting units from the RCS.

Sounds great ….. my son and I are playing our second game this weekend. It is a BLAST!!

I'm jealous! My daughter who is my mini grognard got a job at her university this summer and is away, my 2nd favorite DW opponent has a nasty infection, my third and fourth favorites were unable to make it into the shop today, and the rest of our core mini gamers are at Lock & Load in Seattle this weekend. First Saturday in years I didn't get a single game in of anything. I'm happy for you, but very bummed myself.

Nice picture, looks like you were having a lot of fun.

Btw, what did you used as markers ?

I have done mine with 12mm (around 1/2 inch) semi transparent tokens from a old game set and printed a reduced version of the token from FFG on red labels but the ink from the printer does not really adhere good and you get dirty fingers and blurry tokens…

I used the silver and gold fantasy flight money tokens I already had for suppression and reaction. I use some gale force nine objective tokens for keeping track of which round we were on. I used some little tiny skulls I had for keeping track of life totals on heros and such.

Is that Pegassus hobbies techno bridge? I was wondering if its wide enough for a walker? and if it "fits" with the theme. What do you think about it?

Good catch on the bridge. Yes it is Pegusus. It is plenty wide enought for the walkers in the RCS. Heavy walkers I have not seen in person so I can't comment on those. Theme wise it worked for us. It made it fun to try and hold the bridge as an objective. We put a tank trap in the center and called it the objective so you had to actually be on the bridge to hold it.

I think the Pegasus bridge (minus railings) is about 6 1/2 inches. Haven't measured my fireball, but it might be pretty close.

My technobridge came in today. The Axis heavy walker fits fine on it with room to spare, but the Allied heavy walker just doesn't quite fit. If you took the walls off the sides, then both could fit. As the Allied heavy walker ignores the restrictions of limited terrain, then it can go over any rivers you have anyway, so depending on how you're wanting to lay it out, it's no big deal It does look pretty sweet… for $12, it's a pretty cheap piece of terrain that's quite functional.

Could you be so nice to indicate the measures of the heavy walkers for reference ?

I do not have them yet…

I can't wait to use Walkers in my second game with my son. This is a really fun game!

Our game took too long. We got a rule ( probably more than one) wrong. We were rolling for armor and applying cover for each type of weapon roll and applying cover as well. I have since learned you add all weapons then roll then do saves. Would have made game go much faster. Not to mention I would have got him off that blasted bridge.
