The rules or Dust Tactics are written or two player games. O course you can usethem to play with 3, 4, 5, or even 6 players! The important thing is to keep the sidesbalanced.

When more than two players are playing, consider that all o the rules apply to twosides instead o two players. So instead o alternating between units or each player,

you alternate between units on each side. The players on the same side must decideamongst themselves whose turn it is!
