Although the news recently broke that Dust Studios is no more and there will be no more new stuff for the game, we still have plenty to be getting on with, including unpainted models of course.
I managed to speed paint the massive Konigsluther and add it to my Axis force for a game.
Mr Steinberg used two large Devastators equipped with heavy phasers to head up his Marine force.
The rest of the Axis were Heavy units lead by Lara in her Panzers MG unit.
The Axis completed their force with with a Zombie Platoon lead by Grenadier X.
Once the game kicked off, the Marines quickly moved up to cover behind the village in the middle of the table.
There seemed to be a lot of them…
The Axis Adler jet variant was used for the first time and quite possibly the last. Its missiles could not damage the Devastators and were not very effective against infantry. The machine guns were better.
The Konigsluther did manage to get a couple of successful shots off against a Devastator and take it out in one go. After that, it did not have any more large targets and was unlikely to get into position to target the other Devastator.
The Cursed Zombie Suicide (!) Squad managed to unleash their five, one shot Panzerfausts against a Devastator with only one hit…
They then lived (?) up to their name by charging the Devastator and committing suicide trying to use their Tellermines…
The Panzers (with Lara), Heavy Lasers and Flak Boys were totally ineffective, in fact only the Flak Boys got to make a single shooting attack.
This was a tough game for both sides, losses were very heavy and there was not a lot of infantry left, but the Allies managed to grab a win by grabing an objective.
