It's really a nice game and with painted miniatures it become even nicer. Our league, during which we got bonus credits each round for having your team painted, ran very well and was pretty intense, finishing up with a dreadball ultimate game in the end giving the top 6 players a chance of winning.
Recently we started playing Dreadball Xtreme. I'm not yet sure if the game is as strategic as the original, mainly due to more random events in the game. It is however pretty chaotic, bloody and a lot of fun. I have almost finished my convicts and might post them in a next round if I manage to take a nice picture of them.
