Dust Tactics

After poking around with the search function, I've found almost nothing about this game. So...

Has anybody bought and/or played this game? It looks like quite a bit of fun, but it's got a steep price tag ($68 on CoolStuffInc.). Is it worth it? Is it worth buying expansions for?

The mechs and square grid remind me a lot of Front Mission (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_M...nt_Mission_1st). For those of you who've played both, do they feel similar?

There also seems to be a lack of any gameplay footage on YouTube. Does anybody know where to find any?

I'm just at a complete loss as to why there's so little information about this game out there right now.

Re: Dust Tactics

I've played it a few times. The minis are ridiculously awesome. The mechanics are OK. It's more of a dice fest to me though. There's some strategy but more of it is who rolls better.

Re: Dust Tactics

I can live with a dice fest. Have you played with the extra units? If you have, do they add much to the game?

I've only played with the base set.
