its been out for a few weeks now and just wanted to hear what people think about it?

There is a wealthy amount of reviews online as well as Battle reports online.

If you go to youtube and type Dropzone commander, you will see not only the models but two battlereports that have come out.

If you want my personal opinion, i think The models are low cost for their model size, but the quality of the model is fantasitc. Each model has very little, to absolutly no, air bubbles, and the resin cast perfectly takes in all the details. The game is set up much like FoW - where you each activate squads a turn - but can activily take a squad and use it if the appropriate reponse happens; for example, if I decided to zoom through the streets of the city in my aerofighter jets to take down a building, they might pass a street set up with AA tanks that can fill the air with lead and maybe hit my ships! Speaking of buildings, the creater has provided ALL nessecary materials on his website for FREE - so yes, you can download all the buildings and tokens you want and create your own cityscape. Every race has a gimmick, but it is all balanced - meaning if I bring a lot of tanks onto the field without infantry backup, I WILL be outflanked! This game requires people that like to strategize and have fun, because in the end - having a trio of of fighters on an attack run getting blown up by AA fire set up outside the city is more cinematic then... other games.

If you want to get into it, he just errata'd the Rulebook (another positive about the game - the creator is CONSTANTLY updating the rules since it just came out... so he isn't slow or unresponsive) to allow the starter sets to be allowed (before they were quite illegal in a game). So I would suggest heading over to http://www.hawkwargames.com/ and picking up a starter set with a rulebook. I got myself a Large premium army only because my two friends got the starter sets and allowed me to play - and to be honest - this game rocks awesomesauce!
