How doe sone become a playtester for this?

 throw a penny in the well and wish real hard

Ya gotta go to GenCon. Looks like my wife is gonna be real mad when I cancel our vacation to the beach and I head to the con. Hmmm play a game or divorce. . . gimme a minute Im still thinkin!

Come on Katman, where are your priorities?  Obviously you should head to the con, take copious notes and pics and do a live stream for all of us Dust nutters.  Now, i must get back to painting before the wife comes home...

 Katman....GenCon 2011 is only once...in a lifetime.  Wives...there's always another one waiting just down the road.  ;)

Finally they release this. Andy Chambers is good... I guess..? And I REALLY hope that they change things up and not have everything painted snow-like... I know the Studio Painter for DUST can paint other stuff...

 I think that dust warfare should be merged with dust tactics forum btw. We need only one painting and modeling sub forum , rules sub fora can be separate. There is no point in separating community.

I agree. Premium Edition DT has it's on page too...

Totally agreed!

man im looking forward to this game this what i brought the minis for  

Really interested about this: will it be a skirmish game and how many troops should be needed for a force? Currently playing Warhammer Fantasy Battle and getting really tired of painting the armies of hundreds of models...

They are two seperate games with seperate rules so why would you want them to share a forum.

Poker and Magic: The Gathering are both card games, should they share a forum?
Warmachine and Warhammer 40K miniatures are both on round bases, should they share a forum?
Twister and Mario Kart Wii both come in a box, should they share a forum?

Just because games have something in common doesn't mean they must share the same forum.
At this point we know hardly anything of this game so it is way to early to say that it is best to combine the games into one website/forum.

THats teh worst argument I ever heard. First off, Dust Tactics and Dust Warfare use the exact same minatures, the same setting and most likely the same dice and the same "base rules". Dust Warfare might as well be called Dust Advanced with Dust Tactics called Dust Basic.

Put Dust Tactics in the Miniatures forum and make them all either the same general forum or forums that are side by side and move Dust Board game to be under Dust as well.

A seperate game deserves a seperate forum.
 

I do like how this topic has gone from "how do I playtest" to "one or two forums" before it even got of the first page
Perhaps we should let it go back on-topic.

So FFG, how do we go about playtesting Warfare?
(Yes I already know about the demo at GenCon)

Yeah give it its own forum, Im just saying put all three forums in the same general location so I can shift through them easier.
