microCAV

[fodder]

OK so I have a bunch of rules (CAV 1.0 being near the top of the list) that I want play on a more regular basis with people other than myself. (solowargaming has taken its toll) I got the to build some generic armies in 6mm to play with. How well does CAV 1 or 2 translate to 6mm. I know that it's designed for 10mm, but I got the microarmor bug and decided to just run with it.

I would just run it straight from the book, just using the smaller minis.

CAV 1 worked pretty well using hexes instead of full-terrain. If you go that route then scale doesn't really matter that much.

 

For CAV 2 I'd agree w/what Jim said. The smaller minis he's referring to (I think) are the non-N-scale gunships and vehicles. Anything in the store that doesn't say "Full Scale" in its description. Those were cast at 1/3 N-Scale in order to make them affordable back in the day. You'd get 2 APCs for $10 instead of 1 for $25. Most of those vehicles should sit pretty well next to your 6mm stuff. Then use 6mm infantry instead of CAV Infantry if you want.

thanks guys. sometimes you get and idea in your head and you don't know if it'll work out as well as you think it will.
