Dust Backstory:
The year is 1947. The war that started eight years ago with Germany invading Poland isn't over. The conflict has long spread worldwide. Other than the three great blocs, there are but a handful of countries left hanging on to relative neutrality. Throughout the world, the three blocs are fighting to gain exclusive control over a revolutionary ore: Vk. This ore has revealed extraordinary properties and brought forth the design of gigantic combat robots, capable of challenging the world's most advanced tanks.
The three blocks are:
Allies - The Allies have gathered around the U.S.A. This great coalition of nations includes, among others, the British Commonwealth and the French colonial empire.
Axis - To secure their survival against their powerful enemies, Germany, Japan, and Italy have merged as the Axis. The rise of this totalitarian state was helped by the successful assassination of the Führer in 1943 following operation Valkyrie.
SSU - The USSR and communist China have united their fates to build the SSU, or Sino-Soviet Union. Becoming a planetary power, the communist bloc intends to impose its way of life on all other continents.
Included in this product:
As the war grows ever deadlier, soldiers have come to rely on the safety that battlefield fortifications can provide. This box contains rules to deploy bunkers, strongpoints, trenches, and barbed wire to anchor your front line.
