Looks like the DWMG webpage and Yahoo group are no more. I suspect the heavy hand of Warlord or the BBC. This is very sad news as Graeme Dawson produced an excellent set of rules (DWMG) that will now be difficult to find (but not impossible, see link below for the facebook page).

Thankfully it has not been entirely removed from the internet:

As for Warlord the figures they are producing for their game (that they are taking ages to release) are too large to fit in with any of the current 28mm Doctor Who range of figures. Is Warlord becoming another GW or is it the BBC?
I agree with this post about DWMG and it looks like his prediction in August 2015 is coming true:
" This [DWMG] is a fan-made Doctor Who Miniatures Game that has been around for
years. The creators of this game went on to create their own company,
Crooked Dice, and tried to secure the license themselves. They were
essentially priced out of the market years ago. Undeterred, they went on
to adapt the rules into their own game, 7TV, which takes the DWMG rules
and expands them to cover the whole range of cult TV shows.
My point is that there are already some pretty solid rules for a Doctor
Who Miniatures Game and my worry is that an official offering would
force the publishers of the unofficial set to make their book
unavailable. 7TV, with its more generic setting and themes, would be
safe, so the rules would be largely preserved – second edition is due
out soon – but the DWMG would potentially be in trouble."
