Did they stagger releases for Europe v. the US?

fething FFG, that should say enough. Though some boxed sets have been spotted somewhere in Europe.

But the Allied walkers suffer from the same issue as the old metal Sentinel. It looks a smidge silly freaking awesome without an enclosed cockpit.

Those German Walkers are really, really nice!

Allied Grim Reapers und Tank Busters

“Ready, Frank? Johnny?”
Both of the other soldiers in Sam’s squad nodded. He readjusted his grip on his bazooka then activated his jetpack. They rose slowly off the ground, then gaining speed, quickly scaled the building in front of them.
“There,” Sam muttered into his walkie. The Axis soldiers had taken cover in the building’s doorway. He aimed. “Fire!”



Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the upcoming release of the Allied Grim Reapers and Tank Busters, two new expansions for Dust Tactics! Add the speed and power of these heavy ranger squads to your Allied forces!

A swift advantage

When failure against Axis technology is not an option, Allied scientists are at their best. Seeking to bring forth the destruction of their enemies and provided with vast resources, these scientists created the most modern of technologies: heavy combat armor and reactors. When a few fearless volunteers were equipped with them the Grim Reapers were born.

Named for the death their touch promises, these Allied soldiers attack from above. With the Jump ability and a movement of two, the Grim Reapers can deploy and sweep across the battlefield to reach and destroy any Axis infantry or walker. Players can also use their speed together with Jump to fly over buildings (introduced in Operation “SeeLöwe”), an advantage their Axis enemies have yet to access.

The Grim Reapers are also equipped with dangerous weaponry: Victory MG duals and Rocket Punches. Use the Victory MG duals to deal damage from afar then fly in close and use their turbo-charged fists to K.O. the enemy.

Make good use of their skills to effectively bring an early death to Axis units.

How to destroy a walker

Like their Grim Reaper comrades, the new Allied Tank Busters are equipped with the most modern technology the Allies have at their disposal. These forceful and stoic soldiers have seen too many their compatriots fall under the destructive onslaught of the Axis walkers and plan to use their superior armor and weaponry to cause as much Axis carnage as possible.



The new Allied Tank Busters seem to be a contradiction; despite their heavy combat armor they are able to move across the battlefield quickly. The Tank Busters’ specialty is to function as highly effective anti-armor units.

Each member is equipped with a reactor-fueled bazooka that can waste enemy armored vehicles. Take advantage of their speed to reach an enemy walker no matter where it hides; they are able to ignore obstacles in their path by flying over them! Should their bazookas fail them, these unbelievably strong individuals can punch through a walker’s armor during close combat.

Axis Gorillas[b] und Axis Zombies[/b]

“Did you hear that?” Sigrid hissed.
“Nein,” the officer mumbled. The Baron’s daughter made him uncomfortable.
“Idiot,” Sigrid whispered, but the officer heard it nonetheless. “I’m sure I heard something. Prepare the apes and the Untertoten.”
“But Colonel...” he did not want to go near those things again, they weren’t normal. They were...unholy.



Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the upcoming release of Axis Gorillas and Axis Zombies, two new expansions for Dust Tactics! Both expansions bring inhuman advantages against Allied units. The Axis Gorillas are extraordinarily strong while the Axis Zombies are fearless and resilient to damage.

A fistful of tank

The secret laboratories of the Blutkreuz Korps have produced effective combat units in the past, but none have been considered works of art until the “KampfsAffen” Program yielded the Axis Gorillas. Genetically altered for an increased mental capacity, these specimens also possess both Herculean strength and bestial savagery that they are forced to direct against Allied targets in battle.

These inhuman fighters cast dread into the hearts of Allied soldiers when they charge into the fray. However, the Axis’ poor treatment of these creatures puts their side at risk of reprisal. Could an ape revolt be brewing?

Axis Gorillas have the Blutkreuz Ape ability, which means only a hero with this same ability can join their squad. Luckily for the Axis Gorillas, their fearsome and intelligent leader Markus (available in Operation “SeeLöwe”) can join his simian brothers.

Allied units are advised to kill Axis Gorillas on sight or keep a distance as their monstrous attacks are brutal enough to destroy both squads and walkers of any strength in close combat. Don’t be surprised to see a pack of enraged gorillas tearing apart an Allied walker with sickening ease.

With their Fast ability Allied troops can be certain that it won’t be long before the Axis Gorillas are on top of them.



Resurrected Units

In the wake of Germany’s invasion of Stalingrad, where hundreds of thousands of soldiers had been lost or grievously injured, the Axis leaders turned to the extremes of science. From the labs of the Blutkreuz Korps comes a horrific solution: Wiederbeleben Serum. When this elixir is injected into the corpses of fallen soldiers, it not only reanimates them but grants them incredible resilience. With the Axis Zombies, the Axis now has plenty of new troops for the front lines.

These nightmarish creatures are one of the most powerful units of the Axis. Allied units are advised to use all available resources against these living corpses as they can destroy both squads of soldiers and powerful walkers in close combat.

The Blutkreuz Korps overestimated the tolerance of the majority of the soldiers in the Axis army to their resurrected war companions; many soldiers have deserted their positions. The Axis Zombies possess the Blutkreuz Zombie ability and can only be joined by a hero with the same ability, and so far only the Blutkreuz Korps can withstand the presence of these corpse warriors.

Despite their simple minds, the Blutkreuz Korps needs these undead soldiers to focus on only one objective, annihilating the enemy. With their Fast ability, the Axis Zombies can easily close in on their targets. Allied commanders will need to adapt quickly to these new enemies as they are both mindlessly fearless and sometimes appear impervious to gunfire.
