Dropzone Commander Invasion BoW Team Live Blog
With their training at the Dropzone Commander Boot Camp complete some of our budding community members have banded together to become Team Beasts Of War at this years Dropzone Commander Invasion Event down in Croydon. Our commanders are...
BoW Commanders
...and they are going to be keeping us up to date with how their games are going throughout the day with some insights into the games and of course showing off some great armies too.
If you're interested in Dropzone Commander then don't forget the weekend is also an Open Day allowing you to go along and meet the creators as well as maybe even get in a demo game showing you how it all works.
Game 1 Rasmus
A nice 10-10 against Chris Rees, but a moral victory as the PHR manged roughly 1000 more kill points - great fun army list above
Team BoW get a win
Two Medusas managed to wreck the 2nd UCM army they did go up against - 19--6 in ground control
Fly too high
Day 1 game 3 - the win in the 2nd game did send me all the way up to table #3 - and *auch* did I get schooled, by team Germany 20-0 to Lorn.
Most of the images from that game were not that useful - so I did add a few good army shots that I made during day 1

Day game 1 PHR
For the last 3 DzC, I have had a game against Ed and his exelent armies - some of the closest and most tatical games I have played
Last game
Last game against David Bonner were also a draw - David rocked a rather untraditional Shaltari build with 4 Samurais and 12 Rohin - no pictures from the game I fear - so here is one of an excel spreadsheet and a few other things like Hawk Dave holding court .
The Dutch team came up with the brilliant idea to have everyone sign a canvas for the Hawkwargames team
And @commodorerob playing his last game of the weekend.
The overall winner were from team Germany Leopold/Lorn
Good luck chaps!

1 game down 10 point – but 1179 kill points

Thanks, needed to play more to the objectives rather than the kill, but they became unobtainable rather fast
Many thanks for your coverage of the event guys.
Good luck in the Tournament & have a great time.
Would be nice to see some pictures of your forces added to this thread.
We will try to get that tomorrow
Here by done – as sleeping in hotel beds …so there were some time to take a few pics
Good stuff – awesome t-shirt!
Great stuff guys, sorry I couldn’t join you. hope you have a great day tomorrow, (It is a 2 day event is it not?
Yes, 2 days
good luck with the games guys.
I have always looked at this game as an alternative to Epic which was fun.
Good hunting! Peeps and above all enjoy.
Go team BOW!
Go team! Also a photo of you respective armies would be cool.
A little longer prep and that would have been done, we will tr to get some tomorrow, along with some other interesting armies
Morning shoots of my army added 🙂
Hi Guys,
I know its late but have bagged some interview time with Simon and Patrice from Hawk. Has anyone got any questions you would like me to ask?
I’ll fix my avatar when I get home, can’t get it to crop the image correctly on the tablet
the battleship look nasty.
There was a BoW team present? I completely missed that 🙁
Kinda last minute idea, just like the Blog
@sebcranston, Congratulations on the Most Sporting Award mate.
Yes well done @sebcranston
Once I have a chance to look through them I have one more post at least of the armies when they were set out to be judged by Hawk-Dave
I was @commodorerob‘s last opponent and it was Resistance vs. Resistance. We had similar lists except that I am Allied (with the Warlord Retinue, plus 2 Zhukov’s and a Drill) whereas Rob is Feral (with Cyclones and a Barrel Bomber). It was a very close game in the end with me sneaking the only actual VP’s by managing to drive an objective off the board in their Battle Bus in Turn 3. Rob was attempting the exact same thing with his home Objective, however I’d managed to get my Freeriders out of the Drill between his objective and the table… Read more »
@commodorerob and I started playing at the DzC bootcamp – I did go to the UK games expo tournament as well
So death is a master from Germany afterall? 😉 My Tuebinger friends rocked the boat I hear.
Yes, Hicks you should have joined them
To round up my goals
Not end in the bottom 3rd – check
Average 10 points a game – minor check, 9.6 points
Have some great games of Dropzone commander – check
Have some fun – double check
