So yes, a three player game as the rules have missions for, really does work, and can create some great moments on the tabletop. It mattered not though, as we just had a great time with the game. And yes, I do believe commanders count in point cost, which really would give the Scourge the final victory. The game was a lot of fun, and went back and forth right up to the end. To be honest, it was late, and we just called it giving the win to the Shaltari. So the question came down to a late night checking the rules to see if the commander counted, and if it did, the Scourge had pulled off a last minute victory right out from underneath the Shaltari. Without the Commander on the Annihilator the Shaltari had the bonus victory points by 30-40pts to win the game. In the last activation though of the last round, I moved my level 6 commander in an Annihilator forward and within 6' of one of my focal points. The Shaltari had a couple walkers (high pt cost) near a single focal point and were attempting to have the most points on a single focal point for the victory. The player with most points within 6' of a single focal point gains an additional 2pts. In this mission, you gain 1 victory point for having a unit within 6' of a focal point. Then it came down to who was able to gain victory points on the remaining focal points. Going into the top of round 6 (the final round) the PHR were ahead, but lost their last focal point and the victory to early shooting. Meanwhile the PHR were attempting to move out of containment and around some buildings to a flank, which I promptly dropped the building on them, destroying 5 or 6 walkers that were too close to the building, putting a huge dent on the PHR advancement.Īt that point, every army was dented, and it was a frantic game of taking down focal points, and trying to keep a few units alive to claim them. It would of been an excellent fight, but the PHR simply took down the building before the battle was complete.

Very quickly the battle against the shaltari ended up in a massive close quarter battle inside a single tall building, and it quickly escalated to include very much every single infantry unit the both of us had. I very quickly tried to pin down the PHR, which they more than happily castled up, while I went for containment against the Shaltari. The forces deployed were Shaltari, PHR, and Scourge. The first of course was the sheer size of the game we had. There were many things that were interesting about this game. We fielded a huge armies of 3000pts each, and hit the table with a modified deployment zone (two players on same board edge corners and the other opposite centered to form a triangle.) Now we played a Land Grab mission, which meant there many focal points on the field. (sick family member today, so I don't have time to dig out pics and go into more detail.) Quick Battle Report on a 3 Player Dropzone Commander Game. My past experience with 3 player games has been horrible, so I was rather dreading the game, but I ended up surprised. Sam had a command card to play, too, but his Thunderstorm was a mere inch away from the bunker, so his Infantry in the bunker wasn’t within the Sphere of Influence of his commander.Its an interesting thing, that the Dropzone Commander rulebook has missions that give you the go ahead for 3 player games. This last bunker’s CQB looked to be pretty even, until Andrew played the command card that let him add a squad of Resistance Fighters to that fight, which tipped the balance in his favor significantly. Andrew was the only player who could get any Infantry into the middle bunker, one of his squads of MFR, while the other squad of MFR was set to face off against Sam’s other Fighters paired with the Veterans. In one bunker Sam and Andrew both piled in all of their Fighters, which was a helluva scrum. This proved to be decisive in terms of who could even score on the Critical Locations in the bunkers in this game.

had three sets of Infantry with their own form of transportation – 3 squads of Fighters in Jacksons in a Lifthawk, and two squads of MFR in Raven A/S’s – whereas Sam only had the Lifthawk full of Fighters and the Kraken with two Battle Buses, one with Fighters and the other with Veterans.
