My kickstarter pledge for DropFleet Commander finally arrived in the mail. It was a very anticipated delivery. I was watching email for the shipment conformation everyday. I chose to pledge at the Commodore level. For this pledge, I receive one Dropfleet Commander 2 Player Starter Set, which contains Scourge and UCM starter Fleets, terrain and accessories needed to play a starter set game. 2 Faction Starter Fleets, PHR. The Kickstarter exclusive UCMF Atlantis model, plus 3 Kickstarter Exclusive Battlecruisers.
When the box arrived I was like a kid in a candy store. This box was larger and heavier than expected.
I was happy to see that when I opened the box it was filled full of goodies. My attention was drawn to this awesome T-Shirt that Hawk WarGames produced.
After unpacking the entire box there was a ton of ships, stands, dice, cards, and markers. I am happy to report this was one of the best Kickstarters I have pledge to date. Ships, Ships, and more Ships.
After looking throw all of the packages I found this cool Hawk Wargames pin.
The two player starter sets include the decks of cards for battle groups and these awesome custom dice were included.
With my pledge I ordered the modular space station and there are a lot of pieces and parts. This thing is a work of art.
Here is a close up view of the detailed injection molded plastic ships, specifically a UCMF ship. These ships are very detailed. Some of the best I have seen, I am surprised at how far we have come in space gaming.
The DropFleet Commander core rule book is a work of art in itself, 224 pages of glory and awe. This is one heavy duty book. I am glad they took their time to make sure it was at this quality.
Well I hope to get these ships on the painting table soon. I am getting my second wind of gaming after some personal hardships. Only time will tell.
