What are the differences?

By ClanNatioy2, in Dust Tactics

I've been looking at this game and was wondering if there are different strategies for playing with the axis or allies? Do they have different strengths and weaknesses?

Looking through the different units of these two opposing armies seems to show they have very similar styles (I've only read their descriptions and haven't actually seen their stats). But whenever axis gets a sniper unit the allies get one too. Whenever the allies get a command unit the axis get one too. I'm just worried that I'll get this game and find that both armies play the same way.

Could someone help me out and tell me if I'm wrong. And if i am wrong could you explain to me the different styles of these two armies.

Thanks in advance to any help you are able to give me

Many units have comparable counter parts but the forces are unique enough. The hero's are very unique, as are the elite units, BBQ squads have very short range but can do huge damage, the German laser squad has great potential when they sustain fire or gain berserk from a hero. The allied walkers are more versatile including two machine guns, the axis are slightly more deadly. Also the alies have UGL that help deal with troops in coverthe axis have panzerfoust that give each unit limited anti tank capability.



While I'm happy with the verity at the moment, I think we will be getting more soon.

Do the axisallies play differently from each other though? do they have strategies that work better for them then for the opposing faction? I can understand that right now the differences aren't too great because the game is just starting out but I would like there to be some difference in strategy. Either way I'll most likely still get this game because I've had a miniature game itch ever since I stopped playing 40kthe itch has not gone away since.

right now, the axis are more long range than the allies. thats the biggest diff.

it boils down to a longer ranged army fighting a more agile army.

One other question. Will this game eventually include tanksother vehicles for the armies I know they are planning on releasing air power into the game. Just wondering If ffg will release more traditional styled vehicles for this gameis it mostly going to be robots?

i dont know of any wheeltread based armor in the works. i do know fans have made cards for classic WWII stuffyou can get models in the same scale as dust 1/48
