yeahbowen Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'm either going to do 4'x 8' or 8'x8' depending on how much I like the game vs how much I like my garage. So far I have about 20 N scale buildings, some treesand I'm gathering foam for mountains. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrome Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 The CAV True Scale Tsuiseki is 2.6" (65mm) long. This works out to 34.66 feet in the real world. The real world A-10 is 53.33 feet long. They only measurement I have for a Tsuiseki is from the JoR 1 that shows the plane as being 12 feet tall. Using the same proportions (height to length ratio from an A10) that would make the Tsuiseki 43.64 feet. Could those that do remember the past shed light on what measurement you used when deciding what true scale was? JBR did the True Scale Tsuiseki, so it would have been done in 1/160th with his little Waldo to show the scale fit. He's been around lately, so I bet he can get you more details.

bhchan Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) my vote (and hey, i speak for 2 EB's worth :D) 1:180 scale planes change the fluff so that they still measure out to be 2" to 3". Future planes can be smaller as miniaturization of parts and fluff kick in. Look at the CAV, it's basically a cage for the CAValier and then guns. Planes don't have to be that much bigger. Consider the old single props and bi-planes of WWII era perhaps. So, keep 1:180 scale, make minis that are 2" to 3" in width/length, make the fluff match :D that's my take on the issue.

Reaper User CAVBOSS Posted October 2, 2014 Reaper User Share Posted October 2, 2014 I am going to make the planes match the CAV scale (1/180th). Carry on with your regular programming. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch4lox Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I just came over from the Kickstarter to vote for matching scale as well, and I'm very happy to see CAVBOSS's announcement in #214. Awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDXMike Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I agree change the fluff you have that chance, shrink the planes.. make them 1/180th, just make them all smaller.. RETCON it you are the universes god! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pegazus Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Okay, scale is set. I'll just hop down to Home Depot and pick up some 8" PVC for that drop ship I've got planned. That was written in jest of course... ...but it's giving me ideas. Oh, not 8". I just use absurdity to get my brain in gear. Course, I'm doomed now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papabees Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Also, I think the planes being 1/180th will look good. i have one of the Nscale Robotech collectable figures. the plane comes in at about 3.25" and looks really good next to the CAVs. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_T_4htx42_jA/TS5CQJg_gLI/AAAAAAAAAaE/0wHjSOlIGEA/s1600/valkyrie%2Byf-19%2Bfighter.JPG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be able to rebuild the CAVs with the construction rules (won't know until they're released). That doesn't change that the faction itself, not to mention the Templar expansionism that prompted its creation, has been retconned out of existence.

yeahbowen Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Way to go cavboss! I'm excited to see these bad boys when they show up next year. I may have to order some extra now that I feel I was a part of the process. (Insert smiley or frowny emoticon here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper User CAVBOSS Posted October 3, 2014 Reaper User Share Posted October 3, 2014 No faction has been cut. There has been some "reordering" but everyone is still out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't gotten to reading the CAV:SO Preview Rules yet as I'm still reading the early fluff. Sorry, faction in its common meaning, not the game meaning. The Core Worlds Coalition is one of the army lists presented in War For Sale. Basically, the list restricts you to a selection of about two dozen units, some of which are unique to that list and some of which are normally faction-only. For example, the Core World Coalition has three CAVs no one else does--the Boxer, Slayer, and Terror--as well as a unique Bishop (callsign "Scythe") and can additionally use the Manticore, normally a Ritterlich-only model. Most army lists are independent faction, representing specific pirate and mercenary companies, but there were some faction-aligned ones as well.
