Tuesday Review – Barking Dog


Today’s review is the Barking Dog, it is a Dust-Models.com medium walker. It is close to being the Allies answer to the Jagdluther. Only lighter armor.

Pros:
Has great anti tank and infantry weapons.
Standard walker stats
Long range weapons
Has Jump ability

Cons:
Recoiless Rifles are limited ammo but has 6 shots.

Tactics:
I would use him to take out whatever you want but make sure it’s specific targets rather than just the army as a whole. Pick the larger targets for it to shoot at.

Announcements

So soon we will be getting Dust Warfare. The end of the quarter ends this week. We will be getting a chance to play it hopefully soon.

There has been some changed to the blog. I have rearranged the tabs at the top and merged some of them. The form tab has been removed and the forms have been added to their page of results.

Also a new addition to TWC Dust Tactics. If you notice there is a Game Results tab at the top and a form on the side bar. This is a submission to allow players to show their results and compare each missions, campaign, and faction with all the others. It will be updated with missions and other stuff when the information comes out. Feel free to submit as many results to games as you would like.

Tuesday Review – Bergeluther


Today’s review is the Bergeluther, it is a Dust-Models.com medium walker. It is the Axis recovery/repair vehicle much like the Mickey ARV

Pros:
Has great anti tank and infantry weapons.
Standard walker stats
Has a Dozer Blade
Has Damage Resilient Ability

Cons:
Short range anti tank with only 1 range
Short-Medium range Anti Infantry Weapons

Tactics:
Using the abilities as I described I would use it to stand behind walkers and salvage them as needed. Due to his short range he can be affective for holding an objective or close quarter games.
