The typical battlefields of Dropzone Commander are semi-ruined urban areas,
with intact buildings housing objectives playing a central role in the games
rules. This, combined with Dropzone Commander's 10mm scale means that players
may find that the scenery they use for other systems doesn't quite work.
But the good news is that there are plenty of great options available to
construct an awesome DZC battlefield without having to spend heaps.
Dropzone Commander Card Terrain
One of the awesome things which Hawk Wargames did with Dropzone Commander is
release it with a range of pre-cut, pre-folded colour card tiles and buildings
with which to set up your battlefield. If you've purchased the Two
Player Starter Set then you will already have 10 of these buildings along
with 1 set of urban street posters to get you started.

What is an Escalation League or Campaign?
Escalation leagues or campaigns are a time honoured tradition in war gaming,
with roots in the Tale of 4 Gamers series from White Dwarfs back in
the day. Basically you get a group of players together who are interested in
starting new armies or gaming systems and begin by collecting a starter box or
small warband and start playing games.
