Dropfleet Commander Boot Camp – Saturday

Here Dave and Darren from Hawk Wargames take you though the basics of Dropfleet Commander with a few sample turns looking at movement, firing and some of the more technical aspects of battling on the tabletop.

We'll be diving into more detail as the weekend progresses but this gets everyone up to speed for their first game.

Justin has now taken to the tabletop with his PHR fleet against the UCM and things look like they're going to be heating up.

Who do you think is going to win in this exchange?

We'll shortly be joining up with Dave again to talk about the next scenarios the Boot Camp members are going to be playing out today looking at Ramming, Bombardment and the destruction of Space Stations!

We catch up with Andy who was able to get his hands on the Third Prize as part of his game with Justin.

It's time to blow up some sectors and as we find out from Dave there are some deadly ways to make this a reality.

Justin has been able to claim victory over Andy but at what price? It seems like his fleet might be getting a very funny looking ship in its midst.

It's interesting seeing how the games play out and while it's fun to blast people out of the sky you HAVE to think about your ground assets.

We're now stopping in with Dave to talk more about the next scenario which will include how terrain moves around, moons and the fact that we might be able to get stuck into a BIG game featuring all manner of ships.

We're cranking things up to the next level for this game where the Boot Camp members are bringing together a combined force of PHR against a large Scourge menace.

...with a Moon involved this could end up being a lot of fun.

This UCM facility has now been caught napping and a whole bunch of fleets are closing in to try and take advantage of this massive structure.

We'll be following as this battle unfolds and Dave will be GM'ing throughout to make sure things are nice and nasty. Of course there are some goodies on offer too!

We're catching up with things as we move towards the next turn of the game where things are blowing up, people are winning goodies AND we're seeing the Space Station get a bit of an upgrade.

Let's see how this carnage continues!

We're joining the guys as they play through another turn of the Mega Station Ambush. We had to jump in here because there's been another big explosion on the Space Station ending with another set of goodies being handed out.

...what nefarious schemes does Dave have for the participants now?

...and that's us done for Saturday. We'very had a great time and can't wait to see what Dave has in store for us tomorrow!
