Talon Games CAV: Strike Operations II Kickstarter

CAVBOSS haben einen neuen Kickstarter gestartet, nämlich „Talon Games CAV: Strike Operations II“.

CAV: Strike Operations is an all-new edition of the classic mecha miniatures game by Reaper Miniatures for two or more players, developed and released by Talon Games. No game would be complete without miniatures and with your help we can build on the models we were able to produce with our first successful Kickstarter. Our high-quality Bones TM plastic miniatures feature exceptional detail and provide an economical solution for new and existing players in a wide variety of model types. With the release of the Terran and Rach behind us, what better factions than the Adonese and Ritterlich to kick off our new KS! So join the battle as two of the galaxy’s heavyweights face off for the initial salvo of the First Galactic War!

Thanks to you our last Kickstarter was a great success! We added over 40 new models to the CAV:SO Bones Miniatures line and we don’t want to stop there. You have asked for more models and we aim to deliver!

We have a lot of old and new designs to add and the molds are really expensive to produce. Your support makes these molds possible and in return you get first crack at these figures for a fantastic deal!

We’ve learned a lot since we fulfilled our first project, so you won’t find as many pledge levels. You won’t find as many confusing options. Turns out that most of you just wanted the core set with the potential to expand over time. What this Kickstarter will do is add 16 more models: CAVs, vehicles, and aircraft. After we hit our goal, we have plans to make the value of your pledge grow. All we need is your support.

For those of you that haven’t heard (cue glorious background music), Bones are only the best high-quality plastic gaming models to hit the industry…ever (end music)! The CAV: SO line of figures will use the same plastic as Bones fantasy figures but be cast in a medium gray color. The CAV figures will also include a black plastic hex base for each figure as well.

The independent system of New Vesta is a major agricultural world with protectorate status with the Adon Economic Confederation located rimward of the capital system. Settled in 2025 by House Ves’Tal, a wealthy family from the Heimdall region of Adon, the temperate world was well suited for the large farming collectives established by the initial settlers.

With the end of the Perrini Wars in 2065, the planet saw a major influx of Hakir refugees looking to escape the devastation of their home nation on Adon. A large contingent of Ritter expatriates has also settled on New Vesta seeking a life outside the more stringent governmental controls of their home systems. Most of these refugees and migrants became tenant farmers for the collectives, working the land for their Heimdallion landlords, themselves “employees” of the Ves’Tal family. This system of ownership and government has continued for over two hundred years but not without resentment. Frequent abuse by their landlords has led to many questioning this two-tier system of citizenship.

Over the last decade, this discontent has led to protests and the occasional riot, ruthlessly crushed by the Koevolt, a militarized police force controlled by the Ves’Tals. With the assassination of a popular labor leader in 2270, many who suspect was orchestrated by the Koevolt, open revolt soon followed with the killing of several landlords and their families as well as the destruction of over a dozen collectives under the name of the Kurmala Justice League (KJL). Mercenaries were brought in (including Ophelia’s Orphans, McGregor’s Armored Calvary, and The Wild Ones) to help quell the uprisings and protect the collectives further out from the planet’s capital city.

With the power and wealth of the Ves’Tals on Adon and the importance of their exports from New Vesta, the AEC have allowed the events on New Vesla to unfold without any interference on their part. The current deployment of Regiment 14 “Iron Wood” in 2273 to New Vesta was done more to deal with pirate activity in the surrounding systems, its commander ordered to remain out of the local “disturbances”.

The Ritterlich, along with the Almirithil, have chosen to intercede on New Vesta, claiming there is no legitimate authority left on the planet, putting the ethnic-Ritter and Hakir under immediate threat and creating a responsibility on their part to defend their “compatriots.“
