Dropzone Commander Two Player Plastic Starter Set Unboxed!!!
August 20, 2013 by warzan
That's right everyone, our friends over at Hawk Wargames have bought out their very own Two Player Starter Set and Dave, the creator of the game, has been good enough to drop in to the studio with Warren to have a look at this extremely cool box of gaming goodness! Best of all we have a little give away just to sweeten things. Bah, there's no point in being coy about it, the prize for this video is a signed copy of one of the first Two Player Starter Sets!
The only question left is, when can we all get out mits on the box?
Well Dave has told us it will be in all good hobby stores for the 28th of September so go pester your FLGS to order it in, and if your lucky enough to be at Gen Con you may want to head over to the Hawk Wargames stand as a little birdie has told me they may have brought a couple of copies along for people to have a look at.

Something about the models for this reminds of the Gerry Anderson puppet vehicles, the stuff in captain scarlet etc.
love it, bring it on!
arrrrrgggghhhh! and about time too!!!
The box is good, the Box is strong, the Box has vibe. All hail the Box.
Also the contents look nice
Please! Gimmie!
Gah, no PHR.
Agreed – though it’s still freakin’ sweet. “Plain old humans” were my 2nd fave faction anyway
Scourge were mine so not a disaster, as long as I can get someone to go humans.
Bagsy swappsies Ben!! 😀
If I can’t get another one of my group to split the cost of the box and I can afford to get it myself then I may well take you up on that.
Oh bugger 2x sets = 6×4 board!!! and some posters! I think this is as bling as a starter is ever going to get. Just when I was trying to minimise my interest in new games 😛 hehe
I’m dutch, and I heard you had something for free?
This is absolutely brilliant. This might be the product that tips me over into trying/buying the game. Fantastic!
Sweet set! Very exciting.
Holy Moly! Want. *-*
+1 thumbs up for making “Holy Moly” appear cool again!! 😀
This game looks awesome
Perfect! I’ve been desperate to get into this game since Salute. Friends were a bit put off by the army deal prices though.
Really really really want this 🙂
I must say it appears to be the best value for money on the market atm for a starter set imho. Agree with Ben though about no PHR, but I guess if they included all the best minis, what further sales would they make. I like the human faction next after PHR though so it is still very tempting when a lot of folk say it is a really nice game. 🙂 Looks like it has really nice components to it too. the keyring tape is a nice little boon as well as nice dice (always hate over flamboyant dice… Read more »
Yes please!
woohoo free stuff..
oh wait i never win this stuff 🙁
Had a go at this game at Q-Con- simple mechanics, made sense and produced a realistic result – as far as Sci fi combat can do.
The boxed set looks awesome and including that terrain is special,
beautiful
Free stuff… awesome.
Heh like several others I would have preferred to see PHR as one of the factions (after all, curves are sexy!). That said, for a two player battle box trying to draw new people into the game, pitting humans against ‘alien’ aliens makes a lot of sense.
That is a seriously awesome box!
This game is just cool. After seeing a few videos on youtube about this i think it would be a brilliant game for anyone to play.
That’s a lot of stuff in 1 box. Very nice!
Wow! As an historical gamer (well, apart from ‘Lord of the Rings’) this might just get me tempted to cross into sci-fi.
At last a proper sci-fi wargame! Almost everything else on the market looks like a ‘Necromunda’ rip-off – different setting but bascially a skirmish involving different gangs.
Well said sire!
OOH Maybe I will get to play this at last, darn lack of money and so many good wargames making getting in to new ones annoying at best.
Would love to win this, looks Very nice. my gaming mates have this, would love to be able to start it but limited money since leaving Royal Air Force, as disability don’t pay well, as a career option lol
