Desert Dust Clouds

As part of the Bir Hacheim refight I held at the end of last year, I wished to represent the clouds of sand and dust that moving vehicles produce in the desert.

In the spotting rules that we use anything behind such 'clouds' will be obscured. I thought about a quick way that I could represent this and obtained this effect.




I will provide a tutorial to WSS magazine in the future for these items.

  1. Good stuff. I read how tank drivers when under fire would suddenly stop their vehicles to let the cloud of dust roll over them. The enemy AT gunners would continue to track the leading edge of the cloud thinking the tank was still creating it.
