Dust Tactics rules are available for download. I played Dust Tactics at Gen Con and thought the game was quite fun. The game is played on a checkered board with various terrain effects. The game is set in a world called "Dust" where the Allies (a collection of the U.S.A., the British Commonwealth, and the French colonial empire), the Axis powers (Germany, Japan, and Italy), and the Sino-Soviet Union (the USSR and communist China) all fight each other.
During the demo troops/vehicles died at a rapid rate. Although the gaming mechanics are simple, strategic moves definitely come into play.
You should be able to pick up the game sometime in October. I hear both Amazon and Barns & Nobel will be carrying it in the States.
Tom,
ReplyDeleteHow are the minis in person? A two-dimensional map board doesn't appeal to me, but would the miniatures be useful on actual terrain?

The miniatures looked good to me. If you liked the AT-43 miniatures, then you will like these. The figures come "Primed" according to FFG, so you will probably end up painting them.
ReplyDeleteI found the walkers to be really cool looking in person, but they did seem a little easier to break vs the AT-43 walkers.
