We step in and chat with Richard about how things are going with his first game using UCM.
Interestingly, this features a bit of a training exercise/blue-on-blue battling as his opponent is also using UCM!
*rubs hands* can’t wait to get stuck in to this soon
Lol me too
Whoops… BOEM! LOL!
When UCM fight UCM the only winner is terrorism.
It’s hard to hold back on attack when your still learning all of the defence and movement rules
Ok IF i win the megaprize i promise i’ll make a GREAT series of Demo reportages with photos from the biggest gaming club in milan (ITALY)
I think using the same faction on both sides is a great way to learn your strengths and weeknesses.
I think the comments on the cinematic feel are bang on with this game, very entertaining. Love the green scheme of those ships too.
Yeah, this grey green looks nice. Didn’t thought I would like any of these ships in grey, but these are good.
Those mats are lovely
Those chain reactions are brutal!
Training exercise malfunction….
Things certainly go boom in Dropfleet.
Cascades of damage – an appealing mechanic – reminds me of Titan Legions and Space Marine when you took out a titan and the reactor went BANG!
The first games are really all about bring all guns to bear.
cruiser goes boom and the tears start lol
For the UCM’s sake I hope that was a simulation!
I like the how debris passes along damage to the local area. Makes you think twice about when to cluster for max fire power, or when to fan out to mitigate potential damage.
hopefully i can geet some chain explosions going on next weekend
Explosive chain reactions…. yippeee! Just what any good game needs.
That’s a nice army camo paint job!
Pretty funny! Sounds like a good learning experience.
“Commander, our reactor is about to explode.”
“Eject the core, on the double.”
“What do you think this is, Star Trek? There’s no ejecting the core!”
Sounds like they’ve had a lot of fun
Looks like a fun time! Gotta get my set sorted to get it played at the club!
I’m defiantly liking the large explosions.
If I were on the space station, I’d be looking for a suit instead of fireworks.
