DUST Warfare Unit Cards Have Arrived
October 31, 2016 by stvitusdancern
Paolo Parente's Dust Warfare '47, the gridless version of DUST Weird World War II game has gotten updated unit cards for the new iteration of the game. There are currently three sets for the Allies and three for the Germans and one set for the Mercenaries.
In the Allies sets, you get the Rangers, USMC and Vehicles and Aircraft.
The Axis sets are the NDAK, Vehicles and Aircraft and lastly the Wehrmacht and Blutkreuz.
The format of the cards looks similar to the last set of cards, obviously with some updates and other changes, I am not sure specifically as of yet, but as soon as I get them in I will post an update to let all of you that are interested know.
These can be ordered through DriveThruRPG.com as print on demand, where you place the order and they will print them on poker sized cards and send the to you.
With the latest update coming from Kickstarter that the last of the outstanding orders and stretch goals being shipped, we should be able to play the updated version of Warfare alongside the new DUST 47 which is coming soon. A final edition of the new update rules is available for download on the DUST website.
Have you tried the new rules yet?

honestly this is insulting at best. “oh look we killed the two previous installments of more or less the same game but be a good boy and just buy the cards again!” And the open contempt DS shows by not only to ask for more cash from old time players instead of offering free update pdfs, no they also split them into even more packs for an even more obvious cashgrab. By the way – so its “warfare” again? As in “Warfare” the game paolo never really showed any interest for, and was more of a ffg thing? Obligatory: Where… Read more »

Where is my stuff ?
Players may access all the files free of charge in our DropBox. Contact me for more information.
First, DUST Warfare is not part of Dust Studios and I know we all got burned on the fiasco that was the Babylon Kickstarter. Dust Warfare is from DustUSA and they have licensed the images, rules and name from Dust Studios. They do distribute Dust products but are a Licensee to DUST Studios, not employees of the company. They are only affiliated in the same way Modiphius is with Dust Adventures. The cards for Warfare are not Tactics or Tactics Gridless. They are a reworking of the original Warfare stats, which were always different in most ways from the Tactics… Read more »
Lots of thoughts pop up: If the naming takes multiple clarifications and still causes confusion even among long time players – how are new players even supposed to find “their” right dust? So your target audience are old Warfare players? That is brave to say the least, i remember feeling quite burned as a warfare player even back a couple of years (2012?) when dust was still alive, after checking out the then new rulebooks just to find out that all the new units might be great for DT but didn’t make much sense in warfare. So it’s admirable that… Read more »
Warfare doesn’t have to become gigantic, but the players deserve consistent leadership and direction. With time, it will continue to grow. Original units are being released again. In fact, Zombies are now out. Try store.dustusa.com or dustgame.com. Players, old and new are joining us all the time. Having been a Warfare player and having worked directly with BF on the Warfare side of unit development, I am perfectly aware of the red-headed stepchild syndrome from which Warfare has suffered. We are all aware of the KickStarter disaster. When you have a flat tire, don’t just push the vehicle in a… Read more »
@ratata to be fair these cards are for the Original Warfare version . I first thought these were the new cards for DUST 47. The guys at DS contacted me and we clarified the article. The guy offering these is independent from DS but has been allowed to create these for those who still play warfare.
The problem is that dust warfare never had the Paolo prefix as it was Made by ffg, so the title is somewhat misleading and if it is Made with licensing from ds they are responsible. Still the Main point Stands – this should just be an update and it Shows the confusion around the “games”.
Fun point: does ds even have the rights to the original warfare? Afaik ffg still sells their surplus Stock.
Yes. DS owns the rights to Warfare. I have the license to continue Warfare from DS.
Dust Studios does have the rights, they acquired them from FFG and FFG is just clearing out back stock.
Forgot to add that again my problem is NOT with BoW and I wish everyone working there a fun halloween!
Dust Warfare ’47 is the updated version of the original Dust Warfare rules. I work directly with Paolo and Olivier under license from Dust Studio. The basic mechanics of the game have not changed. Then why the update? Dust Warfare players wanted it. A whole community needed the attention and were willing to support the revision through play testing. The revision draws upon almost two years of work in development and play testing as well as invaluable input from the community. Many older units were not in line with new releases and not competitive, often relegated to shelves. Unit costs… Read more »
Two years ago this would have been super exciting and a MUCH needed update. A year ago this might have saved my dust circle. At this point though, while i applaud your personal effort and enthusiasm, the train has left the Station for good. Just jugding by the impact Bolt-Action and k47 had just in my Areal (flgs is restocking and selling allmost all k47 Stuff on a weekly basis), the unresolved ks issue and seeing dust stuff on ebay for 5 bucks per Walker – i’d say getting the players back is gonna be a though sale. Especially the… Read more »
I have to agree with this. It’s not the Dust Warfare licensee’s (the person the wrote the new version of Dust Warfare) fault that this just came out too late for me. If it was only last year it might have had a chance to see the table with my Dust gaming group. After all, I joined it playing Dust Warfare which converted over to Dust Battlefield. The new Dust Warfare might have even worked out four to six months ago. However, with the arrival of Dust 47 minus the unit cards (which I believe still aren’t out months later)… Read more »
Dust “Warfare” is a licence by Dust Studio given to Gregory Withrow.
DUST USA is the official distributor of Paolo Parente’s Dust 1947 in North America and has absolutely no link to Dust “Warfare” whatsoever, apart that we sell the minis Warfare uses also.
The official cards and book for Paolo Parente’s Dust 1947, the latest version of the game, are to be sold to retailers and player around the world in November. They will also be available online on our website (and official Facebook group) for free download.
