How many players?

[DeTh]

I am seriously looking at investing in this game but first i would like to know how many players are in my area. 

I live in Gurnee so i am not that far from downtown but i would like to know where people meet to play.

I would like to get some games as soon as my schedule frees up. I live on the north side in Ravenswood. I've been out to gamesplus as well. I have a big collection of dust stuff.

I guess as you can tell very few people, at least in the midwest play
the game. Most of those who were interested initially quit both here
and in the Milwaukee area, where I've also gone to play, because of
the rules. Having played around 12 games with the official rules I
can't say that I am a big fan of them either. Dust warfare is more of
a board game played without a board than a true wargame. As a game it
still can be fun just as long as you weren't expecting a wargame or
something grounded in reality but it's a complete muck up if you were.
At this point I know a lot of players who wanted a wargame are either
waiting for the Bolt action rules to come out in September so they can
use a modified version of them with regular WWII & Dust figures or
have been using other WW II weird wars games modified to include Dust
vehicles and figures. Personally I've played using modified Secrets of
the 3rd Reich rules, another weird wars rule set, and with Nuts' chain
reaction rules, both of which provided a better wargame.

I think the last post might have been a bit harsh. Unfortunatly it soes seem a bit slow around here now and im not helping. My free time took a bit of a hit this summer amd the next 6 weeks dont look good. I am rehabilitating my little dog through knee surgery. I do have the ability to build up to 500 pt in both allied and axis. Trying to find the time to get a 500 pt list for Soviets. _kinda waiting for the nest book though. Want the KV152) I will try and post more here and try and get more momenteum going.

 

 I do like the game as is very much. I am looking forward to Bolt Action and really looking forward to Battlegroup Kursk more. For me those systems are for a different style of game. I like both. As a "game" Dust works for me. As I said earlier time has been a major problem for me.

 

So to sum up, there are players here, some still very enthusiastic about it. I personally am going to try and get to Games Plus (closest decent sized table nearby) on a regular basis so people can show up and get some games in. Give me a bit of time.
