Title: Taking the Plunge
Post by: Landlubber on August 29, 2014, 01:18:12 am: And so it begins...

This will be my THIRD Spartan Games game. With a fourth on the horizon (Planetfall). At what point do I get a customer loyalty discount????

Dale was talking about doing it, but I don't know if he followed through. It would certainly be good to have a Vanguard in the group.

I've thought about that....but you have to have two painted fleets. I don't have two painted fleets. I have 4 partially-painted fleets, one completely unpainted (my new RSN), and one partially-painted Dystopian Legions force. So I don't yet qualify. Maybe one of these days.

The Zenian Leauge ships are quite nice. I can't wait to see what you come up with for the paint scheme.

Thanks! Yeah, I don't know why, but the game just didn't appeal to me back when you and I were first getting into Dystopian Wars.

I appreciate your vote of confidence, and I hope whatever scheme I come up with doesn't disappoint. I'm playing around with the idea of a blue and red "dazzle pattern"--I incorporate a LOT of gray into my DW ships, so something colorful would be a nice change.

Hopefully I'll do better in Firestorm against you than I do in Dystopian Wars.
