Dropzone Games Dust Warfare Escalation League

Dropzone Games in Glen Burnie, MD, has kicked off an escalation league for Dust Warfare. The 12 week league, meeting on Wednesdays, already held its first engagement earlier this week, but there’s still another 11 weeks to play if you’d like to get involved.

In a clever twist, the first three weeks of the league will be armour-only, followed by three weeks of infantry-only. This will give players the chance to focus on playing each unit type. The six weeks after that will see combined arms play with every unit type eligible for play.

Check out the Dropzone Games website for times and their address.
