The battle for the craddle of civilization, 1947. April 1947. When the Blutkreuz Korps unearthed records of an ancient alien energy source hidden in Mesopotamia, they started working on plans to recover it. Now their plans are coming to fruition. Operation Babylon thrusts the Neue Deutches Afrikakorps (NDAK), the New German Africa Corps, into Allied territory in central Iraq. Opposing them are the elite 4th Marine Division of the United States Marine Corps and the Spetsnaz special forces of the Sino-Soviet Union (SSU) raid both sides, intent on setting the region ablaze. Operation Bablyon is a campaign book for Dust Warfare. It contains Platoon lists and cards for all three factions.
Dust Warfare: Operation Babylon 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 Warfare: Operation Babylon is 120 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 Warfare: Operation Babylon 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 Warfare: Operation Babylon belongs to these categories: Miniatures, Science Fiction, and World War II. Its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Dice Rolling, and Action Points. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns.

The catalogue lists Dust Warfare: Operation Babylon as an expansion for Dust Warfare: Core Rulebook. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Dust Warfare: Core Rulebook to use it.
