Hello everyone, Frankie here to talk to you guys about Dropzone Commander. I started playing DzC because I was tired of being the greatest 40k player in the world. That kind of title and lack of challenge tends to get a little boring, you know?
One day Reece cracked open a dropZone starter box and started saying he was going to show me how to play a game and kick my butt. Of course I had to take that challenge and let Reece try to regain his pride since he wasn’t having much luck at that with 40k. We played the game and it was actually a challenge, which came as a shock to the greatest 40K player of all time. The game was extremely balanced and brought a lot of new mechanics to war gaming that I had never seen. I ended up winning of course (it’s prolly just because of my raw, natural talent) but at least Reece had a glimmer of hope on turn one. That was nice to see, he was starting to get depressed losing all the time.
DropZone commander is a great game and is a lot of fun. I mean, who doesn’t like to blow up buildings and squishing your opponents at the same time? The game is very balanced as all the armies have a lot of similar units but the weird thing is that all the armies play so differently as a whole, as do all the units. It’s like the creator of the game actually play tested his rules and knew what he was doing when he was writing the rules.
If you guys are looking for a game to jump into or are sick and tired of being mistreated and abused by your favorite games, I recommend giving Dropzone Commander a try, and maybe one day one of you can beat me at it. Not likely, but a man can dream! Haha.
Thanks for reading everyone I will write another article about building a Shaltari list and the challenges that arise while making that type of list.
