I use something like these.

@anvil242I was familiar with Litko but I had not seen these. Very cool. I spoke with CAVBoss about the tokens at the 11/19 meet in Denton about the tokens. He had some nice ones that I think were just cardboard. However, they were clean and easy to see and use. He said they would be available at a later date. 

However, these are pretty dang nice. 

Time well spent! Had a fantastic time. 

I see in some of the videos that people have some sweet tokens to represent conditions and status for their CAVs. 

I know that LITKO makes some really nice ones. 

Other than the paper ones, does anyone have a source for these? 

Many thanks!

Adding this to my calendar. 

Looking forward to it. 

Freakin' epic! Any follower of Khardullis would be proud to spin up the turbines in those.

The blending looks great and the dark to highlight spectrum is super nice. The purple / orange contrast on the canopy is well done. 

I just picked up a Reaper Triad of purples for my Malvernis and some more blues for my Templars. Now, I just need to find some time to get a few mechs under the airbrush. 

Understood and you are correct. CAVs are obviously the focus. But I do appreciate the fact that there are layers to the game and you can dive as deep as you want to. 

With your help, I found the Data Cards. Many thanks. I just glossed over 'OPEN' multiple times. 

And you could say that I am a bit of a fan of 3D printing. Attached is a pic of the set up at my old house and the shop that I am building to set up more printers and my gaming tables and adult beverage bar. 

Many sincere thanks for your time and help.

Loving the guidance here. All of it is valuable. And Jim, your post was the opposite of boring. It was engaging and on point.

I am surprised more the use of infantries doesn’t come into play in casual games.

2 follow up questions.

#1 Where can I find more info or Data Cards for the different infantry? I found that I could possibly generate them from the CAV Force Manager. Are there Pre-generated ones that I am just not finding?

#2 On the Stiletto and Rapier, I can find:

MODEL NAME                 TYPE                    MOVE                 ROLE                   FACTION             DT                        TVP                      VARIANT

RAPIER                              CAV                     BIPEDAL              RECON                TEMPLAR            6                           345                      NA

STILETTO                          VEHICLE              WHEELED           ATTACK               TEMPLAR            3                           71                        NA

I can generate some Data Cards from the CAV Force Manager. (Jon W. stated that it was still roughly 80% accurate. Here’s to hoping the web-based version comes soon!) Has anyone posted what they feel these kit bashes would look like or is open to interpretation based on MOVE and WEAPONS? (i.e. (Rapier= Walker with 4 racks of GM) and (Stiletto=Roller with 1 Mounted MAC)?

 Same question for the Nomads or Stalkers that Krugerannd mentioned. I like the idea of kit bashing and would like to see what has been done by others.

Looking forward to meeting everyone at some of the Reaper Saturday/Sunday meets. I will absolutely be attending several times a year.

Great info here and sincere thanks, James.

I think this is what I needed to get me headed in the right direction. It falls directly in line with some of my reading.  

I still want to get some infantry on the ground and some grav tanks... well, near the ground.

You have been an ongoing source of guiding info. Greatly appreciated. 

Just watched the YouTube video on the rules update. 

This seems like a tremendous change across quite a few areas. Absolutely looking forward to the updates. 

I was planning on creating a few of the trenches with the infantry already staged in them. 

If I moved them out of the trench, I would replace it with and empty one and go back to the standard hex based infantry. 

Harmonica for scale. 🙂

Johnny here. Long time gamer. First time CAVer. 

I have been devouring what I can find on CAV. Pretty determined to become a competent player. 

In this endeavor, I found this on the downloads page that may be close to what you are looking for.

Hope this is on point.
