  1. Good times had by all. I have to admit I was very skeptical of my dice, which made it difficult for me to decide targets. I knew those poltergeist where going to be a problem and I felt I had nothing to hit them. Again...dice🤬🤬🤬

  2. We made the Cav community known there @Reaper-Con 2021. When I was finally able to get us a table we had the same intrest we have every year which is good. Lots of demos. We had 2 full games with brand new players. 

    All and all I call it a successful day. Handed out several new CAV models 😛 (see Smaug shares)  to the kids that showed. They all seem really excited. It was good to see people in general just smiling and being happy. 

    Special shout out to Mathew from RPGgames for bringing in his painted CAV to offer for sale to the new CAV players.

    What did you use for your Scout Helicopters? I have been hunting something in reasonable scale and can't seem to find anything that doesn't either come weighed down with weapons or require 3d printing.

    That would be a question for @Savage Coyote he brought them. I believe they might have been from Team Yankee

  4. To start I would like to say that there was some apparent misunderstanding on what was and wasn't allowed in the list. The boys thought NO aircraft and Ross and I went mostly aircraft. I will take the blame for that as I was the mediator.

    6000 TV Game

    Here are the Boys line up (B made the list)20210628_231813.thumb.jpg.558930c1af7ba134c7b39c8a7b26f3a0.jpg

    (Don't have the list but they have 3 squads)

    And here is the opposition...

    @Smaug & @Savage Coyote

     An attack squad of Sabertooth and a hound

    A pair of Hinds

    Scout Helicopter ships

    And some others all totaling 7 squads for our side.

    And so it begins...

    @Savage Coyote putting his Voice activated dice (Although he denies it, it is a real thing he has) into action as we raced to the other side of the board. Some damage taken on both sides. The dice where cold for the boys and couldn't land a strike point but got lucky with drift. Especially with the Mogwai.

    By the end of turn 4 the boys had taken a severe beating and @Savage Coyote was starting to feel bad for them so we called it.

     

    Lessons Learned :

    have more open communication with players. Especially on what type of units your thinking about bringing. (i.e. CAV, Vehicles, aircraft) This will avoid it from being all too one sided..

    Build the force you want to play with and have fun. Learn how to use each unit to the best of its ability and how it helps other unit's in your force.

    GET OUT OF THE DEPLOYMENT ZONE!!!!!  Go after your opponent and not sit back thinking you're playing it safe by making them come to you. When that happenes they are coming at you on their terms NOT yours.

     

    As devastating as the game was the boys all had a good time and are excited to do it again. Reworking the game room (Man-land / Man-Cave) to have a dedicated table for them to play and then build some terrain I think these boys will be a force to reckon with

  5. I know the Podcasts have discontinued, but I was wondering if they where still out there to listen to again. Some of us old farts can't remember much and I know that the Podcasts covered a lot of the information I am trying to remember.

    Thanks again to James and Ross for doing those
