Drohne Incursion!
February 27, 2011 by beerogre
I'm a big fan of Secrets of the Third Reich by West Wind Productions. I have a load of stuff, and if I'm honest, it's my latest addiction.
So, I went all weak at the knees when I saw the announcement of the latest Drohne model from Grindhouse Games, who make the Secrets models for the Incursion boardgame.
These mechanical monsters are created from Germany's greated soldiers, who have their brains mounted into robotic chassis and equipped with a set of twin-linked light machineguns and thrashing metallic claws... these truely are terrifying opponents!
In the game, a unit of Drohnes combine a savage amount of firepower with fearsome close combat ability and heavy armour... all in one cost effective package.
There is a down side of course. They tend to short out if you give them too much instruction, but if you just let them run riot, they can be a very effective anti-infantry unit.
What do you guys think?
Are you interested in Secrets of the Third Reich or Incursion?
Have you played either of them?

So you get mechs (i.e. walking tanks), zombies, werewolves, vampire, golems… all sorts of neat stuff. I’m currently putting together my German Para Drop Platoon. A group of German soldiers, wearing powered armour, who paracute onto the battlefield on big jetpacks, accompanied by some big,… Read more »
Neat !
love incursion, but must fight my desire to write the team america chant on mt APE suits
the BoW guys have done a review of incursion, use your google fu on the site and commence drooling. Secrets is like necromunda, 40k, ww2, wolfeinstein and league of extraordinary gentlemen had a big love-in
Excellent ! Thank you @demyse…
i’ll buy that. i think the tau need many more drones, and more drone options to boot.
Assoon as I saw this model i thought I must see more about this game. One minute later, I’ve bought the game. More emphasis on gems like this please! I’ll comment later once I’ve read the rules…
