Dropzone commander is so tempting but I just can’t add more right now
sure … we all think that.
but we all know that will add more unless you are one of those rare hobbyists that manage to maintain focus. 🙂
Weekender ja? Great News!
dropzone seems very interesting,
This is a great way to find out its Friday, happy weekend all!
Some great stuff this week. I’m definitely entering the Hicks sculpt raffle. It is great to see the hobby helping out with a charity. Thanks for highlighting this.
o7 Happy Weekender gang, Worms!
😁 🤞🏻
Yay weekender time is now folk’s 👍🎉🎊
There’s a lot on that DZC box
You know, Worms was such a fun game to play.
Great show guy’s 👍
The warhost dwarfs look stunning and the 1490 Doom starter looks intriguing. I’m really struggling not to back the Ghost in the shell rpg.
Dropzone Commander is definitely high on my list of ‘next games to dive into head first’ – Great summary, cheers team
Nice one
Mmmm … lore pie!
‘I think we’ve gone wrong…’
Guys, we wouldn’t have it any other way!
Gerry should dislike 1490 doom. The board comes on a round base.
but your miniatures can be on squares, and that’s the important thing, the table could be an undefined polygon as long as I have my squares that’s the important thing
The dropzone commander set looks great.
I love the look of the Hardwar terrain set.
I have seen the playthrough of Ghost in the shell and I really like the dice system they use.
Dropzone… so good
The metal mask is from the golden voyage if sinbad hes the brother
Dropzone was one of those games that I was aware existed but have never seen anywhere locally. That new 2 player starter set is lovely looking – the temptation to pick it up and try and rope someone in is strong. The starter lists, scenarios and buildings in the box alongside the full rulebook really makes it a perfect box.
Ghost in the shell!!
I am amused by Ben & Gerry repeatedly referring to armies as fleets.
