As someone who is quite late to the party, I highly enjoyed watching this and your next Battle Report! Such detailed information and helpful visuals - it made me bite the bullet and grab some starter sets to play with my local gaming community (if not equally so for the joy of painting these fun, detailed tiny spaceships
Absolutely loved this - I really enjoyed the level of strategic and tactical detail you went into. Insights, analysis and level of video production is way ahead of everything else! I hope you don't mind me saying, and I'm not sure how much difference it would have made, but the Aldrin should still have been allowed to deploy bulk Landers at around 54mins. The launch and drop in effect happens simultaneously, so if the Aldrin wasn't destroyed by the ground guns, it should have still dropped 🙂
I’ve just managed to complete my collection of the Hawk Wargames starter, space stations, launch assets, and extra starter fleets for the UCM, Scourge, PHR, Shaltari, and Resistance, corvettes for all the fleets, along with a game mat from Deep Cut Studios, along with all the command cards and Battle for Earth. It took a lot of work and money but I just couldn’t get enough of this game. I did about the same for Dropzone Commander. Really haven’t been so excited about a new game like this in a long time.

I'm just at the start of the batrep. Beautiful models and I appreciate your goals for this batrep. I'm looking forward to the rest of the video to see how it comes out. I made a batrep on my own channel to try to better illustrate Infinity play. It was a huge amount of work for a tiny demo so I can empathize with how much work you've put in
Thanks! These do take a really really long time to create, but it is a fun process. I’d be making much more if not for real life responsibilities. I’ll need to check out your infinity vid, I’ve been eyeing that game.
This is great and is exactly what I needed. I’ve started with UCM and my buddy has started with Resistance so this is a perfect match-up. Loving the detail behind the fleet building choices, and also the tactical commentary. My only ask is that you make it more obvious on screen which ships you’re talking about - I sometimes lost what was going on scanning around the screen as I’m not totally familiar with each ship’s silhouette just yet. Editing to add - awesome paint job on both fleets but absolutely loving the Chris Foss inspired resistance ships. Blew me away!
Not a single answer to that question. Depends on what you are trying to do. A pair of vent cannons with artillery cannons will give you best flexible standard orders firepower on a cruiser, but less WF DMG than railgun turrets. They can give you some of the best dmg on frigates but cost significantly more. If you want to get into the nitty gritty the discord is a very helpful place.

As someone who just found this game, these videos are amazing and super helpful!
Glad to hear it!

Thanks for the kind words, and the rules clarification. I knew once I posted videos I was going to find the details I've been playing wrong for years.
This was awesome! So excited to see these great batrep/tactical breakdown hybrids going forward!
Great job. This makes hype to play Dropfleet.

Congratz! That is a lot to complete.
Great content. Excellent breakdown. Looking forward to more videos
We just had a group of about 6 people get into the game
Always good to hear! If they want some friendly games to get used to the system a number of us are available for tabletop simulator games.
@@TerminalVelocityDFC that would be great! How can I reach you on Steam? I'm Hamfast Gamwich

This is a great bat rep, and I love the battle break down at the end, helps us all learn!
Thank you! Definitely trying to get us all to up our game. There is more to come.
@@TerminalVelocityDFC can't wait!
I really enjoyed this battle report!
Thanks!
The commentary is much appreciated - not to mention highly informative.
This is one of the best video battle reports I've ever seen.
Sehr gut gelungen, bitte mehr davon.
Sehr bald!

Just fantastic. Take my sub & like.
How do you rate vent cannons? I’ve not been a fan, but don’t know if I’m using then wrong.
