Dust Tactics: "Snow Lynx" is an expansion for Dust Tactics released in 2013 for 2–4 players, 60 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Modular Board, and Action Points.
We are very proud to introduce our third Elite Exclusive item: Sigrid and her own walker the Snow Lynx, which she used in Zverograd at the beginning of 1947. Sigrid, who has the soul of a huntress, is a formidable walker pilot. She was one of the very first of these on the planet, since the first prototype of the Luther was created. Now she hunts her preys amidst the ruins of Zverograd. As you can see this “Elite Version” comes with a special diorama base that can also serve as a playing base for the Snow Lynx. It takes a little bit more than one space on the battlefield, but consider it as one space. The walker can also be placed on a regular grey round base that we have magnetized: you can swap the Snow Lynx from one base to another with ease. We also magnetized Sigrid: she can be played independently, the rock under her feet is the same size as a regular base. And thanks to the magnet she can be placed back on the large base with her walker instantly. In an instant Sigrid and the Snow Lynx can go from a Collector Item to being fully playable. And of course, as usual, everything is already painted and you can enjoy it as soon as you open the box. This brand new JagdLuther model has a “belly” machine gun, that can be used with deadly effects against any infantry. Of course these two models come with their very own unit cards, and are fully playable in Dust Tactics and Dust Warfare.
Dust Tactics: "Snow Lynx" supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Dust Tactics: "Snow Lynx" is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Dust Tactics: "Snow Lynx" for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Dust Tactics: "Snow Lynx" belongs to these categories: Miniatures, Science Fiction, and World War II. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Modular Board, and Action Points. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The catalogue lists Dust Tactics: "Snow Lynx" as an expansion for Dust Tactics. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Dust Tactics to use it. Check that your edition of Dust Tactics is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
