We start with the new Dropfleet Commander Two-Player Starter Set for 2022. This should give you all the things that you need to get started with the game. Included within, you'll find two Starter Fleets. You have one for the UCM and another for the Scourge (goodies versus baddies!). There are two resin Cruisers, a plastic Cruiser and four Frigates for each of the fleets giving you plenty of fun miniatures to tinker with.

You will also get the sixty-four-page Rulebook updated for the 1.5 Edition rules and they haven't slacked on the detail. It contains all the things you need for building fleets and playing scenarios. You'll also find a bunch of scenery pieces, tokens, a 3x4 gaming surface, dice and more to make sure that you're sorted.

If you already have a bunch of miniatures for Dropfleet Commander then maybe snap up the new Rulebook separately.

The focus of Dropfleet Commander is on clashes between mighty Cruisers and their escorts but there is more time given over to taking control of objectives and controlling locations on the tabletop so that your faction of choice can begin their attacks on the planet below. Andy Chambers, David J Lewis, Scott Burns and Lewis Clarke have kept their hand on the tiller when it comes to bringing this space-based ship combat game back to the tabletop.

Adding the twist of low orbit combat and deploying forces planetside means that Dropfleet Commander stands out from other games of a similar ilk. Plus, it's always fun to have another game that can be used to link together grand campaigns. Slot this one in nicely alongside Dropzone Commander for an epic weekend worth of wargaming.

New Dropfleet Commander Cruisers

As well as a new Starter Set, the team at TTCombat have announced four new sets of Cruisers for each of the factions in Dropfleet Commander.

All of these are new resin miniatures and would give you a bunch of ways to improve and update your fleets for the different factions in-game. Each has its own bonuses and minuses and you'll need to work out the best way to include them alongside your force. If you'd like to find out more about each of them, click on the links below to get a breakdown from the folks at TTCombat.

I think my favourite has to be the PHR Prototype Cruisers. I have always liked their sleek look and designs and how they feel like humanity+ (I guess that's quite on brand for them). It's hard not to like the UCM though with their very Halo-esque designs.

Are you going to be picking up this new Starter Set or some of these new miniatures?
