	Conventional gas masks and leather gloves when paired with the standard uniform have proved effective at keeping a soldier alive for brief exposures, but are insufficient in fighting in a Dust covered environments or sustained dust bombardment. To improve on this, the Army began to develop a dedicated dust suit which would allow soldiers to continue to resist the invaders even in locations that would kill a soldier in standard issue gear. Based off of diving suits the Armored Dust Suit (ADS) developed by Westinghouse were light enough to actually be viable on the battlefield at a grand total of 50 lbs as well as provide suitable protection.

			Armored Infantry are a good choice if you don't like to move your dudes about a bunch and are tired of them getting absolutely buried under black dust. They only have a speed of 4 inches per move, which is substantially less than the 6 of regular infantry squads. However they are a bit more rugged than standard troops with a defense of 5 and an armor of 5, which means your guys will die about 10% less often. Of course the reason for wearing the Armored Dust Suit is to stop soldiers from dying to Dust, and Armored Infantry have the special rule Gas Proof which grants immunity to Black Dust and Green Gas weapons.

			Their .50 cal rifles get +1 power out to a range of 10 inches so now you can actually damage a Tripod with shooting attacks. You also get access to the standard Grenades and such which are +2 in assault.

			A unit of 3 elements will cost you 65 points.

			Beside the heat rays of the invaders, the most iconic weapon of the Martians is the terrible Black Dust. The Black Dust is a incredibly lethal chemical weapon that can eat through flesh in seconds, reducing the victim to little more that a collection of dissolved meat and bones loosely held together by whatever clothes they happened to have on at the time. A single grain of Dust when inhaled is more than capable of killing a man, dissolving the lungs and organs from the inside out.

			Conventional gas masks and leather gloves when paired with the standard uniform have proved effective at keeping a soldier alive for brief exposures, but are insufficient in fighting in a Dust covered environments or sustained dust bombardment. To improve on this, the Army began to develop a dedicated dust suit which would allow soldiers to continue to resist the invaders even in locations that would kill a soldier in standard issue gear. Based off of diving suits the Armored Dust Suit (ADS) developed by Westinghouse were light enough to actually be viable on the battlefield at a grand total of 50 lbs as well as provide suitable protection.
