Everytime Dave is on the show Justin treis to tell him how to play or adjust the game, please allow Dave to say what he needs to say and get out without cutting him off, you do it wioth others just not as much.
I really wish to play the second ed. of Dropzone. Love the lore, love the units. I think I love absolutely all about Dropzone and Dropfleet Commander. Keep up the good work guys!
Happy about, 1) Getting a new ruleset after a good amount of time (neither too long nor short), 2) seeing new units come out z'd new models, 3) the fact that the company is doing cosistent enough trade to do big non-kickstarter releaces, 3) just the amount of honest communication shown here. Keep up the good work!
The changes sound really promising. I was a bit afraid at first that you might change a game system I really love into something less - but all three major changes you mentioned really sound good. Looking forward to it!
I'm one of those player who brought a bunch of models when they first came out but has never really done much with them. Time to dust them off and get them painted ready for the new edition.
Oh my god. I seriously can't wait for this. Never really played enough of dropzone in its early days as I only bought it about 12 months ago and getting people interested in it was a pain. Can't come soon enough for me !
The prelude to rules seems interesting. I really like the air support as explained. I have always had a gripe with the dropships and I hope the improvements you made to them make them a lot more viable. I know the core mechanics revolve around dropships but the mechanic felt almost useless after midgame.
I got into the stuff from Hawk Wargames through Dropfleet Commander (because spaceships^^!), but this might be the best way to also get into DZC... story campaign incoming
All the best wishes for Hawk with this, Dropzone is a bit overpriced in my opinion but it is very nice indeed to hear the game is still active and growing. The price is a minor issue, just pick this up at discount (the starterset out is great value for those factions). It is great fun and intense. Very much kudos to Hawk for attending tournamnets etc :-)
Could you stop trying to suggest rules or how to design their game and just interview them please. No offence but I want to hear about their thoughts and game. In a good interview its your job to make the most of it, to get the best info out of them.
I liked DzC but there were just too many rules that didnt add to the game like going to the deck and having everything bein 6''off the deck for line of sight . These were the 1st thing that got house ruled out of the game
I'm about £500 deep into Dropfleet but lost all interest in DropZONE the moment I saw that the standard tank tactic was to place one tank side-on to block LoS to the 2 tanks behind. Either allow shooting through or have vehicles feature lower side-armour and very low rear-armour.
Only UCM can do that and still shoot, and if they do use the Articulated rule to shoot over their fellow tanks then they're giving LoS back. But we'll see what happens to that tactic in 2nd edition.
For me when I tried it I thought the movement and ranges were just silly short. I found the game a little boring. I tried it twice and did not enjoy it at all. I wanted to be able to move my forces but they crawl along. If they are going to make drop ships more needed then I am out. I really love the background and have bought the books just for the fluff. I love the models but the rules I really don't like them. And its expensive. Feel really sad I don't like the rules.

Carabus 03 Spot on! I wish he would just interview rather than try and pitch his own ideas
Hopefully the game designer knows the game?
Eh, it's alright. He's providing some possible insights/feedback and provides an opportunity for Dave to address any concerns.

I am so seriously stoked to hear about these changes. The game will get even better!
Great interview and to people attacking the host it is called a two way conversation.
Fast Movers sound like fun!
"Danger Close! Seraphim, you are clear and hot to target!"
As a UCM player who normally takes Cato i am pleased with the addition of new fast mover rules
Great to see Hawk doing well :)

Need to hurry and release this. You also need more exposure cause this game deserves love. Cheaper than any of the games my friends and I play.
sounds good Dave. just waiting for DZC 2.0 to arrive.
Yes! Thanks Dave!

I'm really looking forward to playing V2. 1.1 was a fantastic edition and DzC has been my go to game for the last 4 years

never really thought much about DZ, only because I have plenty of 28 mm to catch up with. However, this has piqued my interest.
I'm really looking forward to playing V2. 1.1 has been a superb game and has become my go to system.

Overpriced? Man this is quite a lot more affordable to play than most other large army games out there today.
I like changes! sounds good.
Jusy got my UMC starter army.

I like the ships etc but I'm not a fan of the infantry I hope they will be improved

halo I"m indonesia i have dropzone commander ucm and phr, and i hope the second edition not to expensive like warhammer 40k rule books
yesssssssss
"Ultimately this is my ruleset". Oh man, talk about putting one foot in the grave. lol
This was going well until he started trying to design his game for him....

that's a unique UCM rule for the saber's and rapier's. Plus you can see them once they shoot it just makes them hulled down it's a very tactical rule.

Pass , I will not support them any more .
Why?
