Home Brew rules and stories

By Peacekeeper_b, in Dust Warfare General Discussion

Any interesting coversions, rule mods or stories?

Well, I am working on a major pair of Campaign Books - one for historical tanks and one for experimental vehicles. I will have a teaser of the cover up for Campaign Book: Headway (the former of the two mentioned) up on Dust-War.com this Wednesday. It will have new rules, new vehicles, and a few scenarios, as well as a story if I can muster one - just a short bit of fan-fic if anything.

I've been thinking about creating a custom hero creator, allowing players to purchase abilities and equipment to field their own characters. All I really need to do is work out some restrictions to prevent players from making some game breaking combos.

I'm mainly interested in this angle of the hobby as I'm a fine arts graduate and relish the idea of creating my own content. One character I had in mind was a Russian child soldier wielding a dragunov, adept at solo sniping and utelizing cover despite being a hero thanks to a smaller stature

I'm more interested in the historical vehicles. MNOP will this book just have a sampling of different vehicles for each faction or will it include a VDR template such as was in 40k before they neutered it? I loved the VDR, it opened up so much creative possibilities.

The VDR also opened up the most broken and silly nonsense. I will have four historical vehicles per faction (Axis, Allies, and SSU), as well as Platoons (with orders and upgrades), and three narrative scenarios for fun. That is plenty of options, I think, because historical vehicles are considered obsolete in most regards, so I just picked either iconic or interesting things and went with it.

All the teasers start Wednesday @ Dust-War.com, so keep your eyes peeled.

Heh, I suppose it was abusable, but in the end if you enjoyed it and your opponent enjoyed it did it really matter? Besides you can always, you know not abuse it by choice, you don't have to abuse something because you can. Can't wait to see it any any case.

P.S. will one of the SSU units be a BA-X series? I love the look of the old soviet armored cars.

Nope. This is an all-tank supplement. Maybe, if it goes over well, I will do some armored cards, half-tracks, and stuff.

Here is the teaser for Campaign Book: Headway I am making for DUST: Warfare. Keep an eye out Wednesdays for more info on this until its final release in the near future.

OldHat,

Very, very cool. So glad you managed to get the STuG in! Thanks for taking on a really cool piece of work.

Looking good. Also did any one catch that the IS-5 super heavy we're getting is based off of a preexisting iosef stalin tank series taking up the slot between 4 and 6. Interestingly enough there is no actual IS-5 even though there is 1-4, 6 and 7 until it skips to 10.

I have a new teaser coming up this Wednesday - just two inner pages, nothing crazy. The week after, I will see about posting up a Facebook exclusive Teaser of one of the actual Platoons. So, incentive for everyone who is curious to check us out on Facebook.
