I Believe Command Cards Should Affect Your Army List! – Part 5

Shaltari

Activation tampering
False Diplomacy (1)
T1: 2,5%, T2: 10,3%, T3: 11,4%, T4: 12,9%, T5: 14,8%, T6: 17,4%
Requirements: None
Characteristics: Influence
Game impact: Low/High

Reasoning:
The False Diplomacy command card could really screw with your opponent’s activations denying her/him the activation of their choice. The command card may have a low or a high game impact depending on how much it affects your opponents decision making and which opportunities it grants you. But because of its random nature it could also do nothing and with a cool opponent not even mess with their head. This command card should be played as a complement to a plan and may therefore be saved for a better opportunity. But I also believe it is best used in turn 1 or 2 when the order battle groups are activated may be of really paramount importance.

Scourge

Aircraft and Vehicle enhancing
Relentless Advance (3)
T1: 7,5%, T2: 28,4%, T3: 31,3%, T4: 34,9%, T5: 39,5%, T6: 45,3%
Requirements: Sphere of Influence, Aircraft or Vehicle
Characteristics: Mobility Increased
Game impact: Medium/High

Reasoning:
The Relentless Advance command card improve an aspect of the Scourge which is already really good, their mobility and also incorporating the ability to increase their effective weapons range which grant the Scourge some good opportunities.

PHR

Activation tampering
Spy Ring (1)
T1: 2,5%, T2: 10,3%, T3: 11,4%, T4: 12,9%, T5: 14,8%, T6: 17,4%
Requirements: None
Characteristics: Influence
Game impact: High

Reasoning:
The Spy Ring command card is a way for PHR to higher the chance of gaining the initiative in the next round and maybe even paralysing an opponent’s opportunity to play command cards in the following turn.

The general cards are the 20 cards which every deck of the four first factions (PHR, Shaltari, Scourge and UCM) have.

Activation tampering
Central HQ Directive (1)
T1: 2,5%, T2: 10,3%, T3: 11,4%, T4: 12,9%, T5: 14,8%, T6: 17,4%
Requirements: None
Characteristics: Die modifier
Game impact: High

Reasoning:
The Central HQ Directive command card affects the initiative roll and thus have the possibility to achieve both double-taps (to be able and activate last and first) and act first in a critical moment.

Balanced or unbalanced missions?

Now that Jens/Nimthar is posting here directly I’m thinking it puts some pressure on me to blog more. I think people will like his posts better anyway but I will try to make an effort to compete. Today I’m thinking about balance in the missions. And not the type of balance I think you are thinking…

Sometimes I will venture neck-deep into excel, trying to crunch some probability numbers when I am thinking about games. This article is the result of one of those times; I started to think about what is the probability to draw a certain type of card in Dropzone Commander with a certain command value (CV) commander. For example did you know there is a 45,3% chance to draw a Call for Extraction command card with a CV 4 commander in the sixth turn if you have not drawn one before and drawing four cards each turn except the first, well I did not.
