True.. although my comment was about the DZC air/ground minis as we haven't seen the ships yet. I like UCM overall and I like the NON-ground PHR stuff so I may end up liking the PHR ships as well. Their walkers just don't do anything for me though.

Anyone else concerned that Hawk Wargames might be stretching themselves too thin?

DZC is in a weird position right now and could use a lot more support and marketing pushes. The expansion book is nowhere to be seen either.

But instead, they're jumping to an entirely new game. That might bring about another rush of miniature buying, but I fear they're going the route of Spartan Games, where they're all too quick to abandon past games, and take on yet more projects. Admittedly, HG only has DZC, where SG has what, 5 games now?

If HG put this fleet game out, I can see it having a brief flash in the pan from initial sales, but then getting stale as HG is too stretched to support both DZC and DFC.

Did the rebels they previewed at gencon last year come out?

I believe the supplement and new faction are due in August.

If they come out with Dropfleet Commander - would someone open a new thread?

It will definitely deserve a new thread at that point- right now, it's just hints and rumors, though!

Do we have any news about this one?

Read Honor Harrington by David Weber,

Fleet actions are generally about System defence ( infa structure) the logistics war.

The planetary invasion is after the system defence has failed.

Boarding actions are very rare more in the anti Pirate or scout ship ambush type

Of course, this is in an universe where spaceships fight in the style of Age of Sail wooden ships, minus the boarding actions (and minus the dureability and ease of escape that led to decicive fleet actions being a rare bird in the 18th and early 19th century). So YMMV...;-)

I'm curiously waiting for more news as well -
