Hey everyone,
These are some pics of the CAV game that I had this weekend in San Angelo. The mission was for the Forlorn Hope Mercenary Company (in snow camo) to upload a virus at a Terran (forest camo) station. Failing in this, the Hope was to blow up the power generator. The game was not fought to conclusion, but instead became a ranged slugfest, with both sides taking casualties. As the sun set on this far-away planet, both sides had taken casualties and victory was still up in the air.
A Terran Cougar leaps into action, deployed only seconds before the arrival of the Forlorn Hope.
Just after this move, the Rhino (front) took the hill and completely destroyed the Cougar before it could advance any further. In CAV, advancing forces often use a smaller recon CAV or vehicle to cover their advance with ECM. Here a Puma does this for the Rhino.
The Forlorn Hope advances in three separate groups, firing and advancing.
One of the Forlorn Hope's Armor sections -- two Falcon's (front) are supported by the anti-aircraft guns of a Sabretooth (rear), while a Puma provides ECM and a small Stiletto fighting vehicle moves with them.
Two Dictators advance on the other front. A small Nomad vehicle provides ECM for their advance (see it behind the front CAV's leg.
The advance of the Hope.
The Terran line awaits their assault. Here a Falcon (left) is supported by a Wraith (center) and a Katana (right, out of frame).
Objective one: the Terran station.
Naginata Tanks protect objective two, the power generator.
Another shot of the station, with the Terran line and two advancing Kikyu gunships.
The vehicles surrounding the station - these were converted from old plastic Mechwarrior minis, which are the same scale as CAV.
Another shot of the Naginatas as the delpoy to protect the power generator.
Nice AAR. But a little misleading. If you failed to blow up the Terran station, then you lost. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pics though. I dig the terrain.
Actually, I was playing the Terrans here -- they are the second army that I started painting for Asher. It was a true tie, though, as his Rhino (a big heavy muther that just craters smaller CAVs) was just about to sweep in and clear the objective, and I would have had to bring the Naginata Tanks to bear in a hurry!
