Newsflash for Dropfleet Commander Kickstarter
With the hours counting down to the end of the Kickstarter for Dropfleet Commander, we thought we would do one last Newsflash for everyone about the campaign, and what exactly has been unlocked!
First of all, we have to say a massive thank you to everyone who has backed and spread the word about this Kickstarter so far. We are overwhelmed by the support we have been shown. We are so excited about manufacturing this game and developing the final elements. There is lots of work to do, but before we set about doing this, there are still some hours left to go...
In these last few hours, it would be fantastic to see the remaining rewards unlock:
£575k - Faction Specific T-shirts
- Free Hawk Pin (to High Rank Backers)
£600k - Free to High Rank Backers: Set of Activation Cards
We have also unlocked a hidden extra:
Due to the success of this campaign, we will be including a printed full colour Backers Guide to Dropfleet Commander for every pledge level backer. This will include all assembly information for every ship on this Kickstarter, along with special scenarios for the Civilian Cruise Liner as well as some bonus KS exclusive ones, Special rules for the KS battlecruisers (for friendly play - the models of course can be used for tournament play), Painting guides for each faction, Tips on building and growing your fleets and some exclusive Background and Artwork!

The rewards for the Commander Pledge include the Dropfleet Commander 2 Player Starter Set, which contains the UCM and Scourge Fleets, complete full-sized Full Colour Dropfleet Commander Rulebook, dice, templates, tape measure, launch asset tokens, starter battle mat and cluster tokens. Backers of this level will receive any free "All Backer" rewards.

The rewards for the Captain Pledge include two copies of the 2 Player Starter Set (as detailed above), providing two larger UCM and Scourge fleets, along with two sets of all the game accessories found in the 2 Player Starter Set. Backers of this level will receive any free "All Backer" rewards, as well as any free "High Rank" rewards.
This pledge also includes the KS Exclusive UCMF Atlantis model. This Kickstarter exclusive model is only available to backers of Captain, Commodore or Admiral Pledge levels and will never be available anywhere but via these levels. (Further KS only Battlecruisers have been unlocked).

The rewards for the Commodore Pledge include One Dropfleet Commander 2 Player Starter Set, containing Scourge and UCM starter Fleets, terrain and accessories needed to play a starter set game, 2 Faction Starter Fleets (UCM, Scourge, PHR, Shaltari), The Kickstarter Exclusive UCMF Atlantis model, Plus 3 Kickstarter Exclusive Battlecruisers (choice from those unlocked on the 25th Nov) NB - backers can choose any combination of the ones unlocked but the Atlantis remains one model per backer. Backers of this level will receive any free "All Backer" rewards, as well as any free "High Rank" rewards.

This pledge level is limited. The rewards for the Admiral Pledge include everything from the Campaign. It contains two 2 Player Starter Sets as well as one of every reward (including the Kickstarter Exclusive UCMF Atlantis model), and every bolt-on from the start to the finish of this campaign. The Admiral Pledge level also includes something that is only available to these backers: Beta access to the game.
Hawk Wargames will be running Beta Test Days, which will allow Admiral Pledge backers early access to test the game out. As part of the rewards for backing, backers will also receive a numbered beta copy of the rules, signed by the Hawk Wargames Team. The Beta Test Days are currently being scheduled for the UK and USA around February/March (though more locations may be added if popularity for this pledge level from other areas is enough) and all Admiral Backers will be invited, along with one guest each, to meet the team and play some games, allowing us to get invaluable external feedback on the system before it is released. The backers of this pledge level will also be able to ask questions to the design team as well as seeing and playing with some of the early prototypes. This experience will allow backers to truly be a part of the final Play-testing process, giving feedback about the game before it goes to print, and will help us to put the finishing touches to Dropfleet Commander.

Bolt-Ons
The below is a list of Bolt-Ons that have been unlocked during the Kickstarter. To add bolt-ons to any pledge, simply pledge, and then add the amount of the bolt-ons you want to the amount you have pledged by clicking on "Manage your Pledge".
For example, if you pledge for Captain and you live in the USA, you will pledge £110 + £10 Postage and Packaging, and you want to add on a PHR starter fleet, then you would add another £35 to your pledge, totalling £155.
Check the Campaign page for more information on this, and the FAQ's for any questions you might have, or you can fire us a comment or a message if you have backed.
