Getting Dustier

I got the Revised Core set and have had a few chances at the Original Core.  I remain hopeful that I will be able to get one eventually.

I have ordered Operation Hades, and Operation Icarus.  It seems that Icarus will come with three of the Quonset huts.  Operation Cerberus will be a real challenge due to the inclusion of the building.  I hope to be able to at least get the rules and scenarios, as well as the figures.

I still need to get more walkers, but the Core will take care of that.  I want to get the Allied Heavy Ranger Attack Squad.  For the Axis, I need the Axis Heroes, some basic Zombies, and a few Gorilla units, and at least one Gorilla Support Unit.  I have also ordered a Pelican for the Allies, and a Horten for the Axis.

For the SSU, I would love to get three KV47 walkers, so I can field all three variant - Nadya, Natalya, and Natasha, as well as another KV47 Recovery unit.  If I get at least one regular KV47, I can use the extra arms from it to mix with extra recovery units to make another regular walker.  I would also like to get at least a helicopter.  Due to the scarcity of these units, I will probably need to get some conventional troops instead.

I will need to get some bunkers, preferably a SSU or Axis one.

I would love to get the Japanese IJN troops from Dust 1947.  The ninjas, and sailor scouts look pretty cool, as do the Tesla Walkers.  They also came out with Cthulhu troops which would be cool, as well as the Mercenaries.  These three factions came near the end of the run and would be very difficult to get but I have seen some offered, a few even at non-insane prices.

Now I just need to get my son to play some games with me to see if it is worthwhile, as well if I should put the effort into painting them.
