I'm looking at jumping ship to Dystopian wars with GW's recent stupidity and with some money issues i'm looking at moving to Dystopian wars and i was wondering if people could answer me some questions.

What are the armies like , i was looking at Britannia and Prussia.
what are the rules like?
Are there any set paint schemes like ,are there ones in the book or do you have to do your own ?

Thanks a bundle!

Well, Prussia is definitely the boarding faction; they have the best numbers of AP. They also benefit from having a Sky Fortress, which in addition to looking totaly awesome is also a very tough nut to crack thanks to its ability to go obscured.

The Brits are a very torpedo-heavy faction. I haven't used them at all, and only played them a little, but the general consensus is that they are a bit underpowered (at least with a fleet of the currently available models).

I liked this summary:

PE: Attack from Sky Fortresses.
FSA: Snipe from RB4.
EotBS: Not really sure, but it involves a lot of rockets.
KoB: Whine a lot on the forums.
