Little flaw in my plan to generate interest.  If the store doesn't carry it, then there isn't so much interest, but if there isn't much interest, then why should the store carry it.  Unfortunately, I contributed to a bit of the wariness a couple of years ago when I was getting bored with 40k and playing the same list over and over, so, I'd load up my bit of Dust Tactics and take in it along with my Deep Strike List, then when another player arrived, I'd "extort" a quick game of DT out of them before we pulled out 40k.  Which caused a little buzz, which tempted the owner of the FLGS to get some core starter sets, which didn't sell for crap because about the time he got them, I wasn't bothering bringing in DT anymore.

Anyway, I talked to the owner and I'll know more later.  Pretty much, drop DZC for the near term since I'd have to buy lots of units for multiple factions, several of which I'm not even interested in.  Dust Tactics, maybe, but since the owner would want to promote an event a bit, we would be running into the expected Robotech RPG Tactics release and the owner is most definitely going to pick up a lot of Robotech stuff...I think like me, plenty of people would buy it for the models.  Soooo....we'll see.

Anyway, I'm having fun putting together my DZC PHR starter set and playing around with the modelling some.  I've been patching up some of my DT models that had taken some damage and trying to source some tools to fix the bad pose on some of the models.  Finally, just going through the boxes I set aside as half full on my iniial sort and condensing it down.  Otherwis, nothing else new.

Nothing much, more opening of boxes, sorting out the empty and populated sprue, clipping off parts of sprue that still have a couple of bits on them for the "unclipped bits" boxes, etc.  I've gone through almost all the big boxes and got them stacked (big as in length & width, don't care about height) on the shelf.  I've got a couple more that are just vehicles or WIP that I'm going to box and pad a bit with stray foam to put on top of the rest.

Found a DZC blog off the Hawk Wargames forums that has some nice posts with the nickel version of the differences between the four factions. 

In minor sad news, it seems my FLGS has been seduced by the TwitMyFace cult and is shutting down its forums in favor of TwitMyFace operations.  Gee, look Mom, it's quicker and easier and nicer and funner and loads up your computer with spyware and brings offensive items from foafs onto your computer and all automatically unless you fight like heck to deny access.  Yes, I just had to spend time cleaning some computer hard drive space, not mine, but...

Not a lot that is important.  Mainly I have to pull all my Dust Tactics stuff out of my room and reorganize my "temp" stack of stuff from when I set up airbrush station.  Then pack up all my 40k minis in their boxes and put them on the shelf where the Dust stuff is now.  After I get it all reinventoried, I'll have to decide how I want to move it around.  I've got a lot in a the original Core box using foamboard to make pockets for troops and walkers.  I think I can get most of what I have outside that box into a couple of KR cases using my buy one get one free from NOVA.  I actually could also recycle stuff out of my gun cases with the stuff in the Dust box for long term storage. 

Hmmm, the wife suggested using the gun cases for Dust instead of jumping out an buying the KR stuff right away, so swapping will probably be a great idea. 

Funny thought, if I start doing both Dust and DZC, I could bring both armies in a KR2 bag (2 KRU cases).
