My wife made the comment that they reminded her of Sprite. Now I need to work the word Limon into their name. 5th Light Mechanized Onslaught - The LiMons?

How do you "roll" for an attack?
The Red Baron replied to CAVBOSS's topic in CAV: Strike Operations Rules Discussion
@Goodtobetheking, honestly I'm not sure what @CAVBOSS plans for the new rules are. Ask him yourself Wednesday night on Twitch...? 🤩 -

How do you "roll" for an attack?
The Red Baron replied to CAVBOSS's topic in CAV: Strike Operations Rules Discussion
Welcome to the game, super glad to hear from you! The damage in CAV isn't equal to the number of success the attack roll exceeds the defense numbers. instead, that value (called an MoS - Margin of Success) is cross referenced to the damage table. Most results yield 1-3 points of damage. @CAVBOSS is working on streamlining the rules for an update. FYI, he also streams on Twitch Wednesday nights at 8pm CST where he will answer most any question. Last week he talked a lot about upcoming rule changes.

Started work on my last squad for the Slow Grow league. Airbrushing the color white is a humbling experience. 🤬

Still have 2 Crossbows to paint but here is my progress so far on my Templar Free Company - whose name eludes me.

Been negligent about updating this project. Here is my current progress. Join me on Twitch Monday evening as I finish these models up. -

Faction Ramble: ADON
The Red Baron replied to Savage Coyote's topic in CAV: Strike Operations Factions & Tactics
My experience is that it can be hard to get a good spot for popup attacks. I often find one or two good ones but then that makes me bunch up my tanks and makes me vulnerable to Indirect Fire. Plus now days if you don't declare a move then you are +2 to hit. In my opinion, CAV needs more terrain than I usually see on the table. -
Join me tonight on the Talon Games Twitch Stream @ 8pm CST as I go over some lessons we learned about Indirect Fire in the second round of our slow grow league! Also working on my Specialist Squad. 🙂 https://www.twitch.tv/talongamesonline

Slow Grow Specialist squad
The Red Baron replied to The Red Baron's topic in Works in Progress: Painting
It is completely legal and really cool. I enjoy the idea of tiny little recon forces probing the edge of enemy territory. Maybe a merc force that can only afford/field one CAV for a particular mission. Or maybe a militia force with just one or two CAVs. I really enjoy playing the little games. 🙂 Also, working on these guys on stream tonight. -

What's your estimated Purchase to Hobby to Play ratio?
The Red Baron replied to TheHobbyHabit's topic in Off-Topic Randomness
20/70/10 My purchases have slowed down a lot recently. I've always been more hobby than play. Coordinating schedules with others is much harder than just going upstairs to paint. -
Slow Grow attack squad: complete!
The Red Baron replied to The Red Baron's topic in Works in Progress: Painting
They are mostly air-brushed - the green and the yellow. A little edge highlighting with a brush and brighter versions of the underlying colors. The cockpits are painted using black and white oil paint. It works decent for the larger windows but I don't like the way it works on the tiny windows of the Duelist. I need to come up with a better technique. I think the bases are 40mm. I have both and now I'm worried I used the wrong bases. 🙂 -
They are .mp3 so pretty common. If you want to host them I'm good with that.
-
I have them, I could make them available just not sure what the best solution is. J--

Love the Dictator. Hate the fact that Thursday nights don't work for me.
