whole
lotta
grit
By Leutnant Manfred Hirtzel
Some men have seen too much of war. Theyre
tired, jaded, and know only pain. And sometimes
you need these sort of men, because while they
may not be as flashy or as awesome as other heroes, they get the job done. With Guns, skills,
and a gratuitous application of high explosives,
theres nothing that they cant overcome. After
all, would you be frightened at the sight of these
men? You should be.

Any squad with a limited weapon stands something to gain. Red Thunders UGL and Bazooka
combo, with the addition of a Badass commissar,
transforms this squad into a versatile machine
ready to take on the toughest of tanks and most
entrenched of opponents. Red Command squads
become more equipped to lead in tight maps,
where anything can happen and anyone can be
a target. And the Fakyeli, while certainly being
better led by the Fonvizin, still becomes fiercer
with extra molotovs. Never forget, though, that
while not all units have a limited weapon to gain
from, The Derzhavin and The Sumarokov are
a cheap point of health at five points, and their
UGL is never empty.
The first modern frogmen were the Italian commando frogmen, of Decima Flottiglia MAS
which formed in 1938 and was first in action
in 1940. Originally these divers were called
Uomini Gamma because they were members
of the top secret special unit called Gruppo
Gamma, which originated from the kind of
Pirelli rubber skin-suit nicknamed muta gamma
used by these divers. Later they were nicknamed
Uomini Rana, Italian for frog men, because
of an underwater swimming frog kick style, similar to that of frogs, or because their fins looked
like frogs feet.
The XM-18-22 armor was developed from materials stolen from the Axis Raketentruppen program and despite some early issues with leaks
and erosion it shows potential as a basis for frogmen suits. At this time no AXM-18-22 (Aquatic
XM-18-22) units are combat ready but a handfull
of Heavy Ranger Assault Squad members have
received orders to ship out to Brazil and there
is talk of at least one attempt at sinking an Axis
submarine using the AXM-18-22. The rumors of
the outcome of this vary greatly from source to
source.

The Allied 414th Tank Buster Squadronss Jenni, tail number 8675309, and Desert Rosalita,
45329, provide air cover as elements of Task
Force 1st Armored Division move against the
Neues Deutsches Afrika Korps, led by the famed
81st Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron, and El
Aqrab. El Aqrab The Scorpion Staff Sgt. Dusti
Killian, Troop B, 81st Cavalry Reconnaissance
Squadron, 1st Armored Division. While only a
corporal, Killian earned her nickname of El
Aqrab while on a long-range reconnaissance
patrol in cooperation with an ad-hoc party of
Libyan locals, disabling two DAK Tigers and
destroying three. Although she favors the new
phaser technology of the Allies, she is adept
with the full gambit of SSU, Axis and Allied
anti-armor weaponry. Fluent in Arabic,
French, Italian and German, Killian is actually an OSS/ASOCOM asset, but fits well
in the ranks of 1st Armored Division. Although no one in her unit yet suspects her
real role, she once told Patton, Put your
helmet on, Sir.

Two forces come across a row of abandoned bunkers out in No Mans land.
Taking control of them will allow your block to establish a foothold in the area.
The objective for both the Attacker and Defender is to have a unit inside one
of the two bunkers. The game ends as at the end of any round when only one
player has a unit inside one of the bunkers and that player is declared the winner. If neither player has a unit inside a bunker or both players have got a unit
inside a bunker by the end of round 8, the game ends in a draw.
Scenario Notes: It will be tempting to make a run for the bunkers early on in the
game but this means running into the open and risking your unit getting shot
before it gets to its objective. Dont let your opponent get to a bunker, once a
unit is inside it will be very hard to get them out.
Finding the right balance between soldiers and walkers is important. An all soldier army might be very fast, it is going to get shot by the opposing walkers and
to many walkers means you might not have any units to move into a bunker.

Once all the scenarios from the Operation: Achilles book have been attempted by all participating
players the winner is declared by checking who
has accumalated the most ration stamps.
The Campaign Pack isnt just for players of Dust
Tactics however. Each pack comes with an instruction booklet that gives details of scenarios
for Dust warfare and also additional rules for use
in the game. warfare players use the same Ration
Book and collect stamps to decide a winner.
32
The Instruction Booklet contains rules and information to enable both Dust Tactics and Dust
warfare campaigns.

Fortificazioni
Facili (circa)
Di Umberto Bonomi
Con luscita di Achilles, Dust Tactics ha introdotto le fortificazioni come elementi giocabili.
Lo studio Dust ha in produzione tre eccellenti
bunker a configurazione multipla ma io non ho
resistito alla tentazione di costruirne uno. Avendo a disposizione un sacco di materiale grezzo
ho iniziato a pensare a come sarebbe dovuto essere il pezzo e sono giunto alla conclusione che
il cemento armato sarebbe stato ideale. Ho fatto
quindi un piccolo progetto, prima molto grezzo
su carta e poi un po pi preciso con un CAD 3D,
il risultato stato quello della figura 1.
Ora posso quindi mettere qualche misura, Il fortino avr una dimensione di 18 x 18 cm in modo
che occupi 4 quadrati del tabellone di Dust Tactics, naturalmente potr essere usato anche per
Warfare dove non esiste il tabellone. Ecco il risultato:

Mentre la colla faceva presa ho ritagliato la piastra antiscivolo da un foglio gi pronto (li trovate
nei negozi di modellismo il mio lho preso da
Antenociti Workshop), lho poi colorato con un
primer spray verde militare e lho invecchiato e
aggiunto lusura utilizzando per prima la tecnica
del colore spugnato (un marrone-rossiccio) e poi
diversi passaggi di filtri True Earth (www.trueearth.com) terminando poi con un leggero passaggio di pastello a cera argento.
Torniamo per alla struttura principale, spalmiamo il tutto con dello stucco per interni (il polyfilla si trova in tutto il mondo) lasciando il pavimento pulito per applicare in seguito la piastra
antiscivolo. Non state a lisciarlo troppo, cos
grezzo pi realistico.
Adesso con della cartavetro grossa passate la superficie per livellare un po e per incidere altri
particolari.

Beh, il lavoro veramente finito, potremmo aggiungere un tetto e farlo diventare un bunker ma questa
unaltra storia
Grazie a tutti e alla prossima.
