Today we had our first game of our Dropzone Commander 2017 Winter Campaign at Funtastic Games. It was 999 point Skirmish-sized game with 6 players in attendance. Before I left, I had a few minutes and decided to try out a quick proof of concept I’d been thinking of: a pimped out spinner for Indirect Fire deviation (and anything else that needs a random direction).
Even with the busy week, I was able to burn through my painting regiment to finish up my new Dropzone Commander Typhoons.
Having finally finished up my Gen Con 50 reports, I jumped back into prepping some miniatures. I started with a Knight Model for the Batman Miniature Game.
Thursday opened the Con with its typical crush of attendees all vying for position at the main entrances.
At Gen Con 50, we were able to talk to the Hawk team and get a rough idea of the major changes coming to Dropzone 2.0. These rules are still in beta so may change and are mainly from my notes so I may have missed or misinterpreted them:
Early last week I got a reminder that a group of us were going to hit Dropzone Commander this past weekend. I had some units that were still primed from my big priming spree before winter so I decided to blitz through a few and finish them up.

Now that we’re in July, I thought I’d take a quick moment to recap where I’m at with my 6×6 Gaming Challenge. I always keep the running total up-to-date at the top, under my “About” header.
The good news is every game on my list has been played at least once. Even better news is I’m sitting at 20 games/sessions played out of 36 for the challenge so I’m beating the curve by a good 5%. Let’s look at the details:
A couple weeks back, I was able to get in another game of Dropzone Commander at Funtastic Games‘ Dropzone Commander monthly get together. This time, my friend and I went to a 999 point Skirmish battle.
It’s been a crazy busy week but right before hell broke loose, I was able to get in my first session of Dropzone Commander for my game challenge and was able to hit a little Santorini at the end.
