……Is that a chainsaw?

I would be thrilled to see Pacific Theater expansion sub armies/Platoons with specialized troops as well.

Here is hoping it happnes!

OK I dug out the some additionnal pics of early Japanese designs. First up is some Japanese Infantry

And another version of the KA-MI

Very cool. I also hope they release the Japanese as their own faction. I imagine they will if the game keeps doing well.

In answer to an earlier post, "Is that a chainsaw?" I believe that it is. And if that question hadn't been asked, I wouldn't have gone back and looked. I think the chainsaw is a capital idea, given the thickness of jungle foliage in the South Pacific (although the pictures of the jungle on Guadacanal look like you'd need a Gundam light-saber to get through them - we're talking stuff so dense that even the Wunsler's machinery (Lorax reference) couldn't get through.

Since Flames of War has failed for years to introduce the Pacific Theater to a WWII game (I can only conjecture that the New Zealander Anglophiliacs who write the game are so fascinated with British failures in the Eurpean Theater that they're ashamed of British failures in the Pacific. American-hating much?), I would welcome whole-heartedly the inclusion of that theater in Dust Warfare!

I do not think we will see a new faction untill 2013. 2012 I imagine will be the year of SSU and flushing them out.

It would be cool though that they release another starter set next year that had both vrill and japanese units and maybe thats what is going on in the pacific Theatre

I don't know that we will ever see a full Japanese Faction, but we may see more troops/walkers for them over time and may even get a Japanese Platoon type for use with the Axis. We will have to see. I would be thrilled if they did a Desert Rats style British force too, but I may just have to cobble it together from other troop types…
