Release dates, mystery no more

By Jiltedtoo, in Dust Tactics

So a fellow player noticed Amazon.com has actual dates for the release of pending models and operation Seelowe:

Light Panzer Walkers

Light Assault Walke r

Dust Tactics: Operation Seelowe

They do not have the Rangers, Zombies or Apes up on their site yet, but the release dates are there. So no more mystery as to when we will see them on the store shelves (at least for us here in the US and Canada).

Eh I have to doubt the Seelowe Box will be out a month after the Light Walker Box bc ppl wont know the rules for the Phaser Cannons and they wouldnt release the main expansion box after the smaller boxes it would be either b4 or at the same time and that may be them compensating for the how long it takes them to get the product.

It would depend on if there are any extra special rules for them, but I bet they can be played straight as laser weapons for the time being.

Yea but the phasers are suppose to have special rules from what i read and this is part of Seelowe so why would they no release the expansion set first. Thats what they did for Blue Thunder and for Cyclone, the box set came out then the expansions. Besides the fact the ppl on Ebay did the same thing for Cylcone.

I agree, the logic is sound that the expansion would come out first.

The only reason why I tend to believe the Amazon release dates is they are a large company and I am sure sell a big chunk of the Dust Tactics miniatures out there. So I would imagine the rep from FFG who handles the Amazon account would have to give them a somewhat accurate time frame for the release of the expansion.

They might not have special rules and if they do might be printed on the card or the full rules downloadable from here.

I heard they have a special ability when they hit. If you hit your target you roll the die again and if you get another hit it causes more damage (not sure how much, maybe 3 or 4) but if you roll a miss it only causes 1 damage.

Something along those lines.

TGN has the updated FFG June release schedule, Seelowe and the light walkers are coming out together.

I hope so! Would be nice if Amazon were off by a month.

Looks like light walkers and SeeLowe in June and Apes, Zombies, and Power Rangers in August.
