I have capriciously chosen to launch a Dirtside board, for discussion of these sci-fi rules from Ground Zero Games.

enjoy!

I would like to have a 6mm sci-fi board instead, which would be far more useful than a DSII only board. Please think about reconsidering!

Can we get Kate Beckinsdale in pony gear?

I wholly approve of a Dirtside II/6mm sci-fi board. Thank you

Doesn't a 6mm scifi board make a Dirtside one superfluous?

Thanks,

John

Nobody says you have to play Dirtside in 6mm scale.

Nobody says all 6mm games have to use Dirtside rules.

Dirtside can be used for non-SF games (I've heard of a WWII variant).

Well I wanted to play DSII in 3mm-1/600 so that lets me out LOL. Robert

Ok, other than using 3mm figs which is a very recent happening have you ever heard of more than an individual here or there playing Dirtside in anything other than 6mm? I think the 6mm scifi board makes sense. But adding a Dirtside board is IMHO an unneeded balkanization of the boards. Adding a 3mm board would be more consistent than simply a Dirtside one Bill.

Thanks,

John

Plus, it sounds like Bill is getting into some DSII gaming, eh?

Can we have a Kate Beckinsale Board?

Ghostrunner15 Feb 2013 9:20 p.m. PST

Just a suggestion, but maybe expand the Board to include Stargrunt?

So does that mean we can crosspost from one to the other, or to other boards? Or is 6mm in its own pocket universe like the 15mm board?

Do as you will of course, but why post to a 6mm board unless you have 6mm to show off?

Mr Elmo16 Feb 2013 5:11 a.m. PST

Why does a Dirtside board feel 10 years too late?

It's a valid point. I think I've used it more with 15mm than 6mm over the last four years or so – but I don't get much DS2 gaming in these days. My circle of friends has drifted in other directions, to my regret.

Once again, I agree with Fritz…

But we need a Kate Upton board too. The latest SI issue is well, hmmm, interesting :-)

Yea, a Kate Upton board is needed, and a good set of rules with that as well.

SECURITY MINISTER CRITTER17 Feb 2013 10:54 a.m. PST

More boards, lovely.

SECURITY MINISTER CRITTER17 Feb 2013 10:54 a.m. PST

Well I got tired of waiting for one of you…

Love the idea of a DSII board!
