About the game
What you do in a play session
Dust Tactics is a tactical miniatures board game for 2 to 4 players that throws you headfirst into this alternate 1940s reality. The plot is that mysterious alien technology not only exists but is fueling colossal war machines, as Axis and Allied forces collide over rare mineral deposits. Whoever controls these resources controls the fate of the war! And the best part? It comes with everything you need to start playing: over 30 highly detailed miniatures, nine double-sided terrain boards to customize your scenarios, 12 custom dice, unit cards, and even plastic scenery elements.
Immersion is guaranteed with a deep and engaging game universe, featuring stunning artwork by Paolo Parente, which will draw you into this war-torn world. The miniatures, of course, only enhance this feeling of being there. With eight included scenarios and almost limitless customization possibilities, replayability is very high, ensuring hundreds of hours of fun. And don't worry about complexity: the rules are scalable, offering a satisfying experience for both novices and veterans of tactical games. It's your chance to lead troops and giant mechs in one of history's most iconic conflicts, but with a sci-fi twist that changes everything!
