that discusses the relative strengths and weaknesses of each ship in a faction, although it’s pretty heavy on the meme-speak. Just never got round to looking at what’s best for a list.ĭepends how competitive you want to be. Made several Scourge, and UCM are ready to build. Still haven’t even played the game, despite backing it from the start. Many players have Resistance fleets that are at least in part composed of Kalium defectors or governments-in-exile, that kind of thing. (This leads to one blurb where Kalium insisted on taking Moscow and then got caught in the infamous Russian winter until the UCM sent cold-weather experts with proper gear to save them.) Anyway, their inclusion gives a template for what a colony isolated from the UCM might have looked like militarily. Visually, Kalium takes a lot of cues from the Soviet Union and North Korea. They seem to be recruiting some of the worst “feral” warlords on the (Scourge-held) Cradle Worlds, and have gone to great lengths to acquire Scourge tech, including cloning vats.Įarly on they experienced a lot of coups and civil strife before settling into the current totalitarian regime. Kalium has a heavily-militarized population and extensive espionage network. They had a massive shipyard capable of building all the prewar ship designs, and they’ve kept it going for 170 years. Kalium is a colony that broke off from the UCM early on by reconfiguring their Foldspace Nodes. (I forget the retail price because it’s been years since I’ve seen the old starter not either discounted to move or jacked way up on the algorithms.) and I think it’s cheaper than the old one was. The new starter doesn’t come with the cardboard terrain, but it comes with leader minis. Last update was at 3 16:26:27įor comparison with the original DZC starter, did the old one include a mat and cardboard buildings along with the book and 2 forces? And Andy Chambers confirmed he is working on something for TTCombat, most likely Dropverse-related. Some other type of vessel is also upcoming, possibly a minelayer or boarding vessel. Resistance have yet to see destroyers and monitors. The huge anti-starship laser has a model in scale with DZC out there, but I'm not sure it's official or upcoming or what.įor Dropfleet, they released some new play mats:Īnd for anyone who hasn't seen the Resistance fleet, here you go: There have also been images of Kalium vehicles spotted, and possibly a plastic Resistance starter on the horizon. Each faction gets 2 options for heavy and light mechs. The behemoths are in the rule book, and some pictures of them are floating around the web. They have also released variant tanks and air units for each faction over the last few months. They are also selling the cardboard terrain for 20 pounds per pack, both in whole and ruins form. New starters with TWICE as many minis for Scourge, UCM and now Shaltari, each 35 pounds (about $50). If you just want to play DZC, there is a rulebook for 10 pounds. The Resistance fleet has some of the best spaceship miniatures ever released in my opinion, so well worth checking out. However, TTCombat's new site is difficult for anyone using an Apple product who wants to share photos.įirst of all, Battle For Earth is the latest expansion for both games, with DZC 2nd Ed rules and DFC rules for destroyers, monitors, Dreadnaughts.and the Resistance faction. I'll try to keep everything updated as often as I can. This system hasn't seen much discussion on Dakka recently, other than rumors of its demise.
