Wanna Fight??! – Fight Me!!

Just before Christmas I signed up to take part in the Dropzone Commander Open Weekend and 2 Day Tournament.
If you have any interest in Dropzone Commander you really should come down and join me and @lloyd, as we get stuck into this awesome game.
The tournament takes place in Croyden on the 1st and 2nd of February, and you can find the Tournament Pack here, and a Visitors Guide here.
Another Tournament! … Why?
To put it simply, my experience with Flames of War For The Win, changed me as a gamer. I see tournaments and events like this in a very different way than I used to.
Whereas before I would avoid them like the plague, I now see attending events as a crucial part of the newcomers experience of their hobby.
It’s a fantastic way to get in some great games, and come away with some fantastic stories of battle, and that is what brings my hobby to life!. (It also gives me amazing excuses to buy new units for my armies and change things up lol)
At the FOW European GT myself and my partner in crime Dave attended, I met so many fantastic people, and had such a great time, that as I sit here I’m actually missing the guys we played against lol!
I have long admired Dropzone Commander, and I want to get stuck in, so this event is an absolute must for me.
Getting Ready
Over Christmas I picked up two studio armies that myself and Lloyd have been working away on, 1500 pts UCM and Scourge forces. During the coming weeks, we’re going to report back on our armies, how we built them and our experiences of learning about them and playing them.
We will be approaching this bite size, so you are most welcome to join us and report back your own experiences. (Hint: we started with the awesome 2 player starter set)
Join Us
So again if you are interested in this game I highly recommend, hooking up with myself and @lloyd down at the event on the 1st and 2nd of February in Croydon.
If you don’t fancy competing in the tournament worry not as it's also the Hawk Wargames Open Weekend, where I’m sure there will be a ton of awesome stuff on display and goodies to be had.
Hope you can join us!

Will we see Dave again after a few drinks?
I’ll pop down and have a look 🙂
And yes @lloyd I’ll buy you some beer…
@warzan while your down that way you planning any meet ups?
I have resisted so far.., already expanded to X-wing… You can explain this to my spouse when I get another game on order 😉
Hmm 1st and 2nd february I do have a week of! But…… I have to go to Spain and visit the inlaws.
Can’t U guys come to Holland to play some DZC? I can probably arange a place to sleep 🙂 I’ll even produce some beer you wil love!
I love DZC I’m trying to get a tournament going ( and it may work!). But allas can’t join you guys:(
Drunk Zone Commander
Would have loved to go but think travel may be an issue atm, we will see.
Started my PHR army with 2x starter boxes too, go figure. My excuse was that my force needed the rulebook n gubbins and the terrain, which will double up for Robotech. 😀
This game is fantastic working towards a second army now it will be scourge of course.
We have developed 3 player objective games for this and want to create league play here locally.
I hope this tourney tour shows up at gencon this year or maybe origins, which I will be attending.
Not that I’d travel all the way to London for a game of toy soldiers I haven’t even half worked out to play properly yet…
It does seem very awesome that they’re allowing unpainted armies as part of the tourney.
That’s my old home town… Bit far away in Australia now though. Maybe this is a good excuse to go visit my family 😀
Well, I’m in. I expect my Shaltari forces will come dead last. Especially as its the first time I will field them!
When in doubt…. charge!!!
