HOT- New Dropzone Commander Starter

By Rob Baer | August 25th, 2013 | Categories: Dropzone Commander, Tabletop Gaming Products


Hot off their big debut last year at GenCon, Hawk Wargames is turning up the heat on their competition with this new all in starter box release!

Hawk Wargames is pleased to announce the brand new Dropzone Commander 2 Player Starter Set!

Containing two sizable starter forces, the full sized 1.1 DZC Core Rulebook, plenty of accessories as well as a starter battlefield with a set of card scenery, the only other things a new player will need are glue and paints! 

It is designed to be one of the most complete wargaming starter sets ever released. 

This boxed set makes a fantastic entry point into the Dropzone Commander universe as well as a great way for existing players to add to the core of their forces.

All the 10mm scale miniatures in this box set are injection moulded in plastic. These crisply moulded models feature extremely fine detail, matching our resin kits in quality.
