Overview
Welcome to the
Dust Tactics Revised Core Set! Dust Tactics
is a tactical miniatures board
game for two to four players. Players choose a faction, create an army from the available
units, and face off against each other on the battlefield.
This rulebook contains all
Dust Tactics
rules that have been released up to this point,
making it the most comprehensive resource for
Dust Tactics
players. Some portions of this
rulebook may pertain to units, skills, or other components that are not included in the
Dust
Tactics Revised Core Set.
Such explanations are intended to provide new players with the
information they need to play with established players who own content from previous
Dust Tactics
products.
When players encounter an explanation in this rulebook that differs from a rule published
in a previous
Dust Tactics
product, the explanation in this rulebook takes precedence.

Unit Card Breakdown
Unit cards play a fundamental role in
Dust Tactics.
This section explains the layout of each
card type and what the different statistics and information mean.
There are three types of unit cards: squads, vehicles, and heroes.
Movement value (
) shows the number of spaces a unit may move when activated.
Armor class (
) shows the unit’s armor type. When a unit attacks, cross-
reference the weapon line with the target unit’s armor class.
The various armor types are as follows:
Squad
card
SoldierS
1
: Unarmored squads of soldiers that only wear khakis and helmets.
2
: Elite fighters who wear light body armor.
Vehicle
card
3
: Heavily armored soldiers.
4
: Soldiers wearing armor that is far beyond what is found on Earth in 1947.
VehicleS
1 :
Vehicles with no armor, such as jeeps or military trucks.
2 :
Lightly armored vehicles capable of sustaining bullet fire, but not much more.
3 :
True military vehicles that are fast and agile.
4 :
Vehicles with medium armor, similar to most tanks of the 1940’s.
5 :
Heavy tanks and walkers that appeared around 1943 or 1944.
6 :
Very heavy tanks and walkers, generally appearing from 1945 on.
7 :
Mobile fortresses that benefit from the heaviest armor ever made.
AircrAft
1
: Helicopters or other airborne troops.
2
: Various air-to-ground attack aircraft.
3
: The fastest and most heavily armored aircraft.
Vehicle and hero cards track health points here (
Hero
Card
).
Squad cards show two cover values: Soft Cover and Hard Cover.
The unit’s skills and limited-ammo weapons are listed here.

The unit’s name
The unit’s health points (
).
Squads generally have between 2 and 5 points. Regardless of armor class, each
represents one miniature in the squad.
Vehicles have between 2 and 10 points. The vehicle’s health points are shown as
crosses in the lower-left corner of the card. The number of blank crosses indicate
how much damage a vehicle can sustain before it is eliminated.
The faction symbol that indicates which bloc the unit belongs to.
This frame displays a picture of the whole unit. If you ever need to find out which
squad a soldier belongs to, just check the pictures.
The
weapon chart
shows all the weapons that the unit has at its disposal.
The weapon names are on the far left. To the right of the name is the weapon’s range.
Range is measured by spaces and is explained in greater detail on page 14.
Some weapons show a range that is not a number, such as “A,” “C,” or “U.” These
ranges are for special types of weapons that are explained in greater detail on
page 14–16.
The series of numbers after the range is called a
combat value
. It indicates the
number of dice rolled when attacking and the number of damage points each hit
inflicts. This is called a
weapon line
.
ExamplE:
When firing a Shotgun at soldiers with an armor class of “
2,”
check the table where the Shotgun weapon line and the “
2”
column meet:

Shotgun
1 6/1 3/1 2/1 - 3/1 -
The weapon line shows “3/1,” so the attacking player rolls three dice for each
squad member that is equipped with a Shotgun. Each
inflicts one damage.
The “–” symbol means that the weapon can never damage units with that armor
class. For example, the Shotgun cannot damage a unit with armor class “
4.”
Sometimes there is a symbol on the chart instead of numbers. This indicates
a
special combat value
:
