Comrade Fantasy Flight Unleashes the Russian Red Tide
May 15, 2012 by dracs
Fantasy Flight have now released the new campaign expansion Operation Zverograd, bringing the forces of the Sino-Soviet Union to the battlefields of DUST.
This new campaign will introduce players to the Sino-Soviet forces in the city of Zverograd as they face the Axis arriving from the South and West, and the Allies in the East. Will you step up to defend Mother Russia?
Along with the new campaign Fantasy Flight have released the first expansion sets to get you fielding an army of hardy Russians.
Most exciting of all is the first airborne unit in the game of DUST Tactics, the SSU Airborne Transport.
Rules introducing the use of aircraft can be found in Operation Zverograd and should offer players whole new tactical elements to draw upon and deal with.
All in all definitely the start of a mighty force, ready to take on the world.
Do any of you fancy playing as the Russian forces? Any of you DUST Tactic players like the sound of airborne units?

The troops look as though they come from the real WW2 instead of this advanced version, but that’s fitting for Russian and Chinese conscripts equipped with only the basics – after all there’s always more of them! 🙂
I like the look of the powered armour too, very solid and blocky, but I’m not sure about the helicopter as it seems a bit foreshortened like the Stormraven (still better looking than that thing however) which makes sense to fit it onto a Dust Tactics grid-like board but makes it look a bit toylike to me.
I am actually liking those soviet bipedal walkers more than quadropedal walkers that allies and axis have.
I’m with you on that @mecha82 the walkers are cooler than the others have. The chopper is sort of so so for me.
They only have 2 legs as well, its only the vheavy walkers that have more.
I definitely think this is to be the next game I invest in….
When will they release the rules to allow these in Dust: Warfare?
probably June
