Dropfleet Commander is an Orbital Combat game in the Dropzone Commander universe in which the vast majority of your games will take place in orbit above a planet's surface.
A typical gaming table is 4'x4' and will show the surface of a planet rather than the more typical 'starfield' style space combat table. The area covered will be around the size of a large European country/US State.
Weapons range is neither absolute nor fixed. It can change based on the power of your ship's scanners, the enemy ship's signature and the enemy's actions (firing several weapons greatly increases a ships signature for example). Stealth is frequently crucial!
The 2-Player Starter Set for Dropfleet Commander includes:
- The Full Dropfleet Commander Rulebook, and Fast Play Sheets,
- UCM and Scourge Frigate and Cruiser Sprues, (with construction guides),
- Innovative Dropfleet Commander flight stands,
- Double sided fold out map,

- Token sheet,
- Tapemeasure and Dice
