It is an unchronian game based around a different 1947, where walkers and fancy weapons progressively replace older ones due to some plot hax that has cometh from teh stores.
There are three main forces: Allies, Axis, and the Sinosoviet Union.
Perhaps we could expect some Japanese and Ottoman forces at some point I guess.
It's largely developed by those who worked on AT-43. Notably the walker designs bear the distinctive style of Paolo Parente.
The Tactics is very focused and squad based, and plays on tiles, while Dust Warfare plays like your regular tabletop figure game, and seems to be very fast: players throw 5 dice during some command phase, and each die with a hit on it translates to a point of action, so there's a max of 5 to get. 1 point activates a squad, 2 activate a walker.
Oh and all units look gorgeous.
