I'm a huge D6G fan but I had already purchased the DW rules before the episode came out. But the very positive review did spur me on to pick up the starter set and give the game a go a lot faster than I may have otherwise. And I'm glad I did although I suppose my wallet isn't. Curse Wakelin's Jedi mind tricks!

I thought the review overall was one of their better ones (Dystopian Wars is still their all time best I think). While Romeo is certainly an acquired taste, and he was often off the mark, having him there was like having Raef. The discenting, somewhat uninformed, opinion can be helpful to Russ/Craig in making their own points and acts as a bit of a centering force. Romeo also simply tries to be funny in his own way. The minis are not 'gumbies' but he is correct that some are quite bendy (such as the Zombies). It will take paint and time to know if this is an issue or not (I suspect not). I loved his comment "I don't know why the little guns want to stay bent. You'd think it would be easier for them to be straight." I have also found using a heat gun straightens everything out in just a couple seconds. No need for boiling.

But I've now listened to the review a few times while painting my Dust minis and have enjoyed the show each time. If nothing else it acts as a good motivator. I think Craig strikes the perfect note.

Oh, for those who have not seen the Premium models in person they really are outstanding. Some of the American winter schemes were not that impressive but the vehicles and other troops I've seen are very well done. They are painted to a much higher standard than AT-43. Picking up even just a few units is a quick way to get a force going even if you want to paint your own.

Been listening to D6G for awhile. I actually watched them play DW at Adepticon for a little while, but avoided a demo myself because I was trying my best to keep from becoming interested. I really don't need to get into another minis game.

Then, I listened to their podcast about it. Like many, Craig's enthusiasm really sold me. I made my first order that day of the book, revised core, and a couple of extra squads. Have made a couple of orders since then (yes, I have a problem).

The good news is, also because of the podcast, I have gotten a pretty good start at painting them. Russ's "20 minute video on painting dust models in 10 minutes" was awesome, and the fact that they are pre-primed has made it a lot easier to get some paint on them. Though they now seem out of place in my closet full of pewter.

So, thanks D6G. And my wife thanks you too.

Friends got me interested, Adepticon/Mack got me hooked, D6G clinched it and made me a willing dealer of the new plastic crack (Russ says best mini rule set ever, iirc. I think I'm beginning to agree). The fact that the d6g's response so closely mirrored the response of my local gaming group made me happy. I've been listening to these guys for a while, I tend to put stock in their opinions of things nerd related.

The D6 crew say what you will ….Im just glad they have good personal hygiene and dont smell to horrible!

D6 who?

I had always like the Dust Tactics models but had no interest in the grid. When FFG announced Warfare my interest was stirred. So much so that at adepticon I skipped out on a painting class to get a demo from Mack! By the end of that demo I was sold on the system and was buying models.

I give sole credit to Paolo's cool designs and Macks enthusiastic demonstration of the game.

I've never listened to a D6G podcast. I saw demos of Tactics when it was first released and decided to pass on buying but I did think the minis would be great for a "regular" tabletop wargame. I read about Warfare's release on TMP maybe 1 1/2 years later, bought it and the minis. I love the game and am playing almost every weekend.
