Badger73 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I first came across Battlefront tactical wargames with CMBN several years ago. DropTeam still showed in the store but has since gone the way of the Dodo bird. As someone mildly interested in Mil-SF, what did I miss? Is it gone forever? Where might I find it today? If I raise an issue of aggravated controversy, please feel free to close this thread. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) Badger73, There is an entire Forum devoted to Drop Team. I have never played Drop Team myself, though I was a huge fan of such things as Starship Troopers (not the movie!), Hammer's Slammers and such, so it seemed a natural fit. My recollection is it had all sorts of cool features, but they all were useless to me, since it was PC only. Hope this helps. http://community.battlefront.com/forum/36-dropteam/ Regards, John Kettler Edited September 10, 2016 by John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger73 Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Thank you, John. I was aware of that forum. I posted here because the DropTeam forum seems to be dead as a door nail; no one posts nor visits anymore. I was hoping someone at this forum might tell me more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 As far as I'm aware Drop Team is gone forever. The server required for multi-player and updates had stopped running for over a year before it was finally decided that it could no longer be sold. You basically controlled a single vehicle (typically wheeled or tracked with possibly some units capable of hovering). If I recall correctly you could play against the AI or the more entertaining multi-player (hooking up to a server - which you couldn't run yourself). I did a small bit of beta-testing with it and it was fairly fun to play in multi-player. I don't recall there being an editor for maps or units. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

152mmDumbRocket Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) DropTeam is gone, though its developer TBG is still around: http://tbgsoftware.com/index.html I wish DropTeam could be resurrected. Edit: TBG's Captcha form is broken, so if you want to contact TBG, here's their email address from the BBB: smarks@tbgsoftware.com Edited September 28, 2016 by 152mmDumbRocket 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
152mmDumbRocket Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Sorry for forgetting to update this topic, but here it is: Stan Marks and Clay Fowler no longer work together, the part of TBG that made games went when Clay left, and Stan has a hard time getting hold of Clay. In short, DropTeam is dead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
152mmDumbRocket Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I found Clay's LinkedIn and X profiles: https://www.linkedin.com/in/claytonious https://twitter.com/claytonious?lang=en I'm not on either platform, so I contacted his current employer (Scopely) through their contact form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
