DUST Revised Boxed Set
DUST is a tabletop miniatures game by Paolo Parente. At first glance it appears to be take place in World War II. Upon closer inspection we find that the DUST universe is weird and fastastic, and full of walking tanks and zombies. The game was originally distributed by Fantasy Flight Games. Battlefront miniatures has since taken over distribution. There are currently three versions of the game: DUST Tactics DUST Warfare DUST Battlefield All of the games use the core rules from AT-43, Paolo Parente's Sci-Fi wargame. They are simple and straight forward, and make for a fast paced game. Dust Tactics is played on tiles, like a boardgame. DUST Warfare is played on a table, like Warhammer 40k. When Fantasy Flight stopped distributing DUST, the Warfare rules fell into limbo. Thus, DUST Battlefield was created to fill the gap.
There are three factions in DUST: Allies Axis SSU The Allies have the ability to airdrop units. This is used to full effect in lists that drop a Fireball with a BBQ squad inside. They drop down and kill the anti-tank weapons, and then the Fireball runs wild. The following is a list of allied units: The Gunners Recon Boys BBQ Squad The Boss Heavy Assault Walker (Fireball / Punnisher) Medium Assault Walker (Hot Dog / Pounder / Steel Rain / Mickey) Light Assault Walker (Wildfire / Honey) Special Ops Rangers Grim Reapers Tank Busters Red Devils Corps Officers Allies Hero Pack (Action Jackson / The Priest / One Eye) MCW M3 (Cobra and Rattler Medium Walkers) British Commandos Kill Squad USMC Heavy Weapons Teams Heavy Support Walker (Long Tom II / Mobile HQ / Sky Sweeper) Allies P-48 Pelican The Axis make deadly use of technology. They have super soldiers, such as Winter Child, suits of iron, jets, and laser cannons. Their sniper Angela is one of the best in the game.
