Dust Tactics: Horten HO-347 – "Fledermaus III / Fledermaus IV" is an expansion for Dust Tactics released in 2013. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Modular Board, and Action Points.
Game description from the publisher: Dust Tactics: Horten HO-347 comes with one miniature that can be configured in either of two jet variations that have placed the Axis on the brink of a long-awaited resurgence of air superiority in the fierce battles of Dust Tactics and Dust Warfare. The introduction of VK engines has permitted the Axis' newest aircraft to fly faster and climb higher than anyone believed to be possible just a few years ago. The latest generation engines even allow for near-stationary flight and vertical take-off and landing (VTOL). The HO-347 Fledermaus III is both a fighter and a very effective ground-attack plane. Its light cannons can destroy other flying units in mere seconds. Its larger 75mm gun is perfect for attacking tanks or walkers at their weakest point – their thinner top armor. The fighter/bomber variant of the new Horten, the HO-347 Fledermaus IV carries numerous bombs under its fuselage. Despite their relatively small size, these bombs can be devastating when dropped directly on a target during a screaming low altitude run.

Check that your edition of Dust Tactics is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
