Talon Games - CAV: STRIKE OPERATIONS Kickstarter II "The Battle for New Vesta"

[CAVBOSS]

A couple of new previews today for the Ritter. These are both Stretch Goals we hope to hit soon!

 

 

 

 

ENJOY!

[Vil-hatarn]

Will there be 360 videos of these soon? I can't figure out what's going on with the back of the Cheetah.

[CAVBOSS]

Yes, I'm going to load up these with the other previews later today.

[PatrickK]

Awesome! Love the Rudegern.

[Werkrobotwerk]

a cute little car. I hope the turret is a separate piece.

[TaleSpinner]

I like them both.  Like Vil, I want to see the 360. :)

[Edsterdoom]

Great models this has some nice models coming up.

[Dan d'Lyon]

I'm really surprised that there aren't more backers yet.  But I have faith that we'll get there!

[Exwilly]

im going to do both factions. but ritterlich is my main focus.

[Humansquish]

So....what happened to the molds for the metal minis?

[Jeneki]

Cheetah is cool.  It's like Rhino and Duelist have an angsty teenager.

 

And a big YES for the death-car. I'll need quite a few of those.

[NomadZeke]

Cheetah could proxy as a Rifleman in battletech

I'm of the opinion that starting on a Friday was not the best decision.  Weekends are always naturally slow, and in this case, it seems to have killed the momentum.  Stats seem to concur with this, as Tuesday and Wednesday seem to be the best days to start, according to those who analyze such things. 

 

Still, what's been done is done, and it's not something that can't be recovered from - we still have quite a few days left.  Though I bet it won't be too long before we start hearing the haters come out saying that CAVBOSS has done something to completely cause this KS to fail (considering it's funded, it's not a failure.)

I have added videos to the You Tube channel of all the preview models that have been featured.

 

Hindsight is always 20/20 but have no fear I'm thick-skinned enough at this point (having survived years of the most vitriol emails from some CAV2 people) to handle anyone's criticisms. My thoughts were to use what we could generate over the weekend to give us a boost for the Monday, hopefully ready to start hitting stretch goals. Everything is an experiment and that's how you learn. This KS is much more polished IMO with more models to start with and a lot more to add as rewards. We do have a lot of time!

As long as you learn from your mistakes in each KS...

 

At this point, I'd be happy if the KS ended just as it is. As I pointed out in the KS comments thread, retail value of the core set is already a minimum of $160, depending on the final pricing. 

 

And to be honest, I'd actually wouldn't mind seeing a smaller 30-60k campaign here.  I think that it would give you a better chance of fulfilling on time with fewer issues, which could go a long way towards making up for the issues in the first KS* and set the stage for a much more successful third CAV KS. 

 

Still, I won't complain if this takes off to half a million dollars, either. 

 

----------------

*just to be clear, I feel how issues that arise are handled is more important than what the actual issues are. And from that perspective, I'm satisfied with Reaper and Talon's performance in regards to your handling of the first CAV KS. Was the KS perfect? No, but ultimately, in the end, everything promised (and a bit more) was delivered
