No idea, but the tanks and the Kraken jet came out great. If in doubt, pledge for tanks.

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

Once again... anyone here an active player who can speak to the quality of the game? There's no doubting the value here, but I want to know more about the game from actual players.

Oh, and for CAVBoss... Any chance the rule-book will become an add-on option?

With the actual release to retail on the 18th I'm not sure how many active players we have at this time, at least on these forums, so hopefully you can get an unbiased opinion since mine would be suspect! ;-)

Anyway the Basic Training Set includes the RB and can be used as an add-on to another pledge level and will still allow you to receive it by Nov 2016. That's the only way the RB will be offered during the KS.

Noted, thanks. I'm sure people appreciate the idea of adding that set on and letting it be shipped independently of the rest. That is a tempting proposition!

Anyone questioning the rules, I know you can at least download the old version w/data cards for free from Reaper. Unless they are making a drastic change, I would guess it will at least give you a feel for the ruleset.

Have Bones gotten any easier to clean the mold lines from? I couldn't bring myself to paint a model without cleaning it.

The newest version of the rules, CAV: Strike Operations, is quite a dramatic change from CAV 2. You can check out a free demo of the rules at http://www.talon-games.com/downloads

A bit of an update:

New Shipping Options for Non-US Backers!

As many of you know Reaper Miniatures is helping with this project, especially with the logistical side of getting in the figures and the final fulfillment phase. As a result we get to take advantage the new shipping hubs they have established in the UK and Australia!

Soooo...



We are excited to announce that we will now be shipping all EU pledges from our UK hub. At this time the Pledge Manager will estimate your shipping charge with actual shipping charges being determined before you finalize your pledge for shipment. Should the final charge exceed the estimated amount, you will be given the opportunity to cancel your pledge and receive a full refund. Shipment to backers inside the UK will be charged the required VAT. Backers in other EU countries (outside the UK) are responsible for paying any additional local charges and their appropriate VAT (if any).



In addition, we will also be shipping all Oceania-based pledges from our Australian hub. At this time the Pledge Manager will estimate your shipping charge with actual shipping charges being determined before you finalize your pledge for shipment. Should the final charge exceed the estimated amount, you will be given the opportunity to cancel your pledge and receive a full refund. Backers in Oceania-based countries will be responsible for paying any additional local charges and their appropriate VAT (if any).

Shipping remains free in the US and Canada. Due to Kickstarter rules we cannot change the shipping info as it appears in the Pledge Options. We have updated the Pledge Manager to reflect this great news!

Next up:

300 Backers! Thank You! CAVCON 2016!

Thank you all for getting us to 300 backers! In recognition of that support I have added an additional x2 Ogres & x2 Rhinos to the Core Force Reward bring your total model count to 52 models!



Next up I wanted to let everyone know I have changed out the model for the $38k Option Reward and replaced it with the Adon Chancellor CAV to help fire everyone up as we push through these lower levels and start adding more models to your Core Force Reward!



BUT WAIT...

To celebrate the upcoming CAVCon 2016 (www.cav-con.com) next weekend I'm adding another special to the Core Force Reward! The Almirithil Principality has patiently waited for it's chance and today here they come! I have added 4 new models belonging to CAV: SO's newest faction to the Core Force Reward for FREE with x4 copies of each. This will bring the model count of the Core Force Reward up to 68 MODELS! Thats six more models than the entire Core Force at the end of the first Kickstarter project!



With two attack, one fire support, and one recon model your options for building a Force Group with the game's newest faction has many variations right out the gate! I hope you enjoy using these models as much as we did designing them!
