Erion Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Will CAV 2 have faction starter boxes and/or a Deluxe starter box that includes the rulebook and smaller forces for two factions, like Warlord does? Some guys over at mini realms were asking, and I figured why not pose the question for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildger Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Except for a few places in US, CAV is basically dead everywhere especially outside the states. Most companies would give up at this stage but fortunately Reaper decides to make an effort to continue. Aggressive marketing will be very important if CAV ever wants to come back. So, I will be very surprised if Reaper does not put out a starter set. What the content will include is unclear? It is also a good time to promote CAV2 since many players give up Mechwarrior due to the retirement. They are looking for another game.

Erion Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 This summer's con season is going to be a great time to start selling CAV. Don't the MWDA retirements happen just in time for the big tournaments at Origins/Gen Con? I hope Matt, Pat and the rest of the crew are able to pull off getting printed copies in time for Origins, even if it means I have to wait until after the con to be able to get my copy. If they can showcase it there to fill the void the MWDA retirements are leaving, along with emphasizing that every model produced for CAV1 is fully fieldable in CAV2, they'll get a ton of new players hooked.

Akela Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 We are planning for a deluxe starter set and army boxes. Details are still being worked out regarding contents and price but they're planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erion Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 Are you guys going to be changing the blister pack Graphics with the new edition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akela Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Yup. We're going to our "unified card backs" (cav one of the only lines left on the old size) and the blister that allows for us to include a data card with the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erion Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 Is the Red/Black design going away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akela Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Nope. Red/Black are the CAV Brand colors. Though the stripe may change to a chevron. We're approving various designs at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETHSTRYKER Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 More of a personal question: Is CAV doing well financially? What i mean is will it be around for a while and is it making good Profit? Just want to see it around as i love it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akela Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 CAV's doing fine, now that our production problems are fixed (I got a call yesterday from our 3D printer letting us know the next batch of models was almost done) all is looking well. Besides, the "CAV Universe" is Reaper's Sci-Fi property. AICOM, Imperator, and StarSyde (the RPG and sci-fi figure line to go with it) are all set in that universe. The setting/universe that CAV presented is going to grow and expand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erion Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 StarSyde, huh? Little hints are dropping like flies around this place. So very glad to hear there will be an RPG sci fi line as well. I realize that it's early, but are you doing it OGL or will you be creating an in-house system? And new CAV models from the printer soon? Any hints, or will you be holding us in breathless anticipation? [subliminal]CZAR. Emperor[/subliminial] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETHSTRYKER Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 [subliminal]Emperor[/subliminial] Sigh... One of these days my JoR2 will come in... It's only been 2 months now...Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan6 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Replaces "thou art mortal" with "Chancellor and Banshee" in Matt's ear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
