TheyвЂ™ve kept up production of hard plastic kits for the cruisers and frigates, with resin options for just about everything else. ItвЂ™s changed ownership since the original release, having moved from Hawk Wargames to TTCombat, who have done an amazing job in keeping up support for the game and offer a wide variety of ships and accessories on their website. All the fleets look like they could believably be in the same universe, but they all look incredibly different. WhatвЂ™s fantastic is how many different aesthetics the game manages to cover without feeling disjointed. Look, the game is great, thereвЂ™s no getting away from that, but even if there wasnвЂ™t a game many of us in the Goonhammer Offices would probably still be buying some of these spaceships just to paint and display.

Because have you seen these spaceships, goddamn.

And once you hit the table, youвЂ™ll find that you can generally play pretty smoothly without having to constantly reference tables or other arcane rules.Дropfleet Commander UCM Fleet. You can absolutely get lost in list building and theorycrafting, but you can also learn the game in an afternoon. ThereвЂ™s a good level of crunch to the game too вЂ“ the mechanics are interesting and involving, but not too granular or overwhelming. The focus on dropping troops on the ground, the orbital mechanics and the overall structure of the objectives makes it a really engaging tactical experience. It feels much more like a fleet experience than something like Star Wars Armada, with quite a lot more ships on the table. There just arenвЂ™t many, is the sad truth, but luckily Dropfleet is genuinely a great one.

Because you want to play a space fleet game.

Obviously the setting is different, but if you loved BFG youвЂ™ll find a lot of the same notes are hit with this game. Andy Chambers, one of the original authors of BFG, also developed Dropfleet Commander, and in lots of ways DFC is a modernised version of the much-beloved Games Workshop classic ( and one that Boon and Condit wonвЂ™t shut up about).

Unlike many fleet games, Dropfleet is centered around objective-based play from the outset, and youвЂ™ll need to bring troop landers and dropships to deliver ground assets to the various terrestrial and spaceborne facilities youвЂ™ll be fighting over during a game.

In game terms, youвЂ™ll command a decent-sized fleet of ships in a battle set in orbit around one of the many worlds in conflict in the setting. And to make things just a bit more complicated, the Shaltari, another alien race whose motivations are completely inscrutable, are doing their thing as well. In the midst of this conflict, a splinter of humanity calling themselves the Post-Human Republic has joined the fray, though their interests donвЂ™t necessarily align with the rest of humanityвЂ™s. Earth has been conquered by the alien Scourge, and the surviving humans have either gone into hiding or fled to the outskirts of the galaxy to regroup and rearm in an effort to take back their home. So what is this game, anyway?Дropfleet Commander is a sci-fi fleet game set in a universe where humanity is on the brink of extinction. If this sounds like the sort of game youвЂ™d like to play, youвЂ™re in luck вЂ“ TTCombatвЂ™s Dropfleet Commander provides an excellent vehicle to tell stories like this with a slick and easy-to-learn ruleset that maintains a remarkable amount of tactical depth. And all the while, the opposing fleets draw closer, splitting their attention between jockeying for position in orbit and clearing a path for their drop assets to take control of the critical infrastructure theyвЂ™ll need to win the day. Amidst the carnage, smaller craft dive into the atmosphere, their heat-resistant plating glowing white as they desperately try to avoid incoming anti-air fire long enough to disgorge their cargo of dropships to take control of the cities below.

Massive, spinal-mounted laser cannons roar to life, reaching out across the void to tear open armored hulls from miles away, followed by the rhythmic pulsing of mass drivers pounding away in intricately-calculated volleys thrown at near-relativistic speeds.

What should be a pleasant summer evening is interrupted by a series of ominous flashes in the night sky вЂ“ the sure sign of a fleet dropping out of FTL at combat speed.
