A Whole New Battlefield

Introducing the Dust Tactics Premium Playmat, Available Now

An explosion sent rubble flying through the air. Shards of concrete ripped through sandbags and flesh. This was it. There wasn’t time to reconsider. Sgt. Johnson leveled his barrel and began to fire. He could see bullets sparking off the walker’s armor, but it wasn’t slowing down. Its every step thundered along the battlefield…

The new Dust Tactics Premium Playmat allows players to take their games of Dust Tactics and Dust Warfare to a whole new battlefield!

Available now through our Dust Tactics Premium webstore, the top-quality Dust Tactics Premium Playmat allows you to maneuver your armies across a durable and attractive 33” x 22” play surface.

Advanced Reconnaissance

Every good general seeks to gain the full measure of the battlefield, so here’s more information about the newest terrain at the center of the furious combats in the alternate-reality World War II of Dust Tactics and Dust Warfare.

This 33” x 22” x 1/8” playmat weighs twenty-seven ounces, enough to keep it from sliding around, making it a stable surface for your games.
The dual-sided playmat features a nine-by-six grid for the board game action of Dust Tactics and an identical, gridless surface for the intense tabletop battles of Dust Warfare.
You can combine two Dust Tactics Premium Playmats to form the same twelve-by-nine grid available from the two fold-out maps from the Revised Core Set, but on a more durable surface.

Bring Your Battles to Life

With the Dust Tactics Premium Playmat and the three-dimensional structures from the Building Accessory Pack and Operation “Cerberus,” you can more clearly envision the dramatic action and high-stakes skirmishes of Dust Tactics and Dust Warfare. Infantry and combat walkers fire at each other along the coast, between warehouses in the docks of southern England, or in the streets of Zverograd.

Order your copy of the Dust Tactics Premium Playmat today to play your games on a surface suitably rich and detailed to match your Dust Tactics miniatures.

The Sino-Soviet Union Blazes into Battle!

The Sino-Soviet Union Blazes into Battle!

The First SSU Forces Are Now Available for Dust Tactics Premium

The ferocious battles of Dust Tactics rage in vibrant color with the professionally pre-painted miniatures of Dust Tactics Premium. Now, as the Red Army musters its forces, you can order premium versions of Operation “Zverograd,” the game’s first aircraft, and several Sino-Soviet Union squads, all of which are now available on our webstore!

Operation “Zverograd”

The fourth campaign expansion for Dust Tactics, Operation “Zverograd” follows the war to the mysterious city of Zverograd, along the Caspian Sea, where we catch our first glimpse of the game’s new faction in action! In Zverograd, SSU forces confront Axis forces arriving from the west, south, and southwest, while Allied forces approach from the east.

Formerly a jewel of a city, Zverograd has been devastated by the war. Over seventy percent of its buildings have been reduced to rubble, but while forces from the three armies battle to control whatever they can of this doomed city, they are unclear why their superiors find it so meaningful.

Operation “Zverograd” presents overviews of the SSU’s history in the war, its major battles, its present concerns, and its greatest heroes. Players will find rules to introduce aircraft, Commissar Squads, Pilot Skills, and Legendary Tacticians to the game, along with other new skills.

Operation “Zverograd” also comes with a modular building set to construct 3D structures, and beautifully pre-painted versions of the expansion’s new hero, Koshka Rudinova, and her customized walker, Grand’Ma.

SSU Command Squad Expansion

The veteran SSU Command Squad is a terrific boon to any SSU general, granting you the ability to relay your commands directly to your forces. They have the skills to reactivate units that you’ve already used, bring previously destroyed vehicles back to the battlefield, or bring in squads to reinforce your army. These powerful leadership abilities and their dramatic and gritty paint scheme make the SSU Command Squad an exciting addition to any SSU army.

SSU Airborne Transport Expansion

Swooping onto the battlefield to deliver reinforcements and perform quick attacks, the professionally pre-painted SSU Airborne Transport represents a large tactical advantage for the SSU. This is the first airborne unit in Dust Tactics, and it allows SSU commanders to mobilize their armies with unmatched swiftness. This expansion also includes an entire squad of Chinese Volunteers painted and ready to back up the rest of your SSU forces. The SSU Airborne Transport is a must-have for any SSU player.

SSU Close Combat Squad Expansion

After fighting in many intense close-quarter situations, the soldiers of the SSU have become experts at this type of combat. Well known for their ability to craft makeshift weapons like Molotov Cocktails, members of the SSU Close Combat Squad form an integral part of the SSU forces. These grizzled and camouflaged squads carry Shotguns and a Flamethrower for maximum damage at close range, and their professionally painted armor shows the wear of multiple battles.

SSU Battle Squad Expansion

Trained in the art of rapid assaults, the SSU Battle Squad frequently forms the front line of SSU armies. This squad is equipped with a pair of DPM machine guns that allow them to pummel the enemy from afar. SSU soldiers have fought on every type of terrain from the American Everglades to the frozen Russian tundra. Their wealth of experience in battles on hostile terrain and in hostile conditions makes them one of the world’s most reliable squads. The Dust Tactics Premium versions of these soldiers brings them to you masterfully styled as the rugged and ready infantrymen they are!

Take the World by Storm!

The Sino-Soviet Union army has arrived. The red invasion has begun!

Operation “Zverograd” and the pre-painted Dust Tactics Premium SSU expansions available on our webstore provide you everything you need to start playing this battle-tested faction today.

Meanwhile, you can pre-order your copy of Campaign Book “Zverograd” now. This Campaign Book contains all the information you need in order to field your vibrant SSU forces in the intense tabletop miniatures battles of Dust Warfare!

The Dust Tactics Revised Core Set and Unit Card Upgrade Pack are now on sale

Axis Feldwebel Lara Walter stood atop the hill, looking down at the Victory Bridge and the Allied forces prepared to defend it. Bullets flew through the air around her, some clattering off her battle armor. She turned to the Heavy Laser Grenadier next to her. “The time has come. Destroy them all. No mercy.”

Join the battle, or add new troops to your Dust Tactics armies with the Revised Core Set, now on sale at your local retailer and on our webstore! You can also find these stunning miniatures available now, pre-painted at exceptional quality from our Dust Tactics Premium line.

Dust Tactics is an exciting, fast-paced miniatures board game in which players wage ferocious battles during an alternate reality World War II. Axis and Allied forces alike have mined new technologies from an alien crash site. Now they field massive combat walkers, wield laser cannons, fire phasers, and command forces of rampaging intelligent gorillas or soldiers armored in battle suits that let them fly over the battlefield to rain death from above.

Exciting options for new players and veterans

Dust Tactics veterans will want to get their hands on the Revised Core Set for the dramatic options its units add to the game.
