Welcome to 2002! |
|
I'm shocked we've made it thus far, but here's looking forward to another year! On behalf of the whole Steelcommand.com crew (Mil-Net, The Dropship, etc...) I bid you a happy new year! |
Tip of the Week #3 and #4 |
|
To make up for the lack of TotW last week, I'm posting two this week. Enjoy! Tip of the Week #3 from Patrick A. Faries:
While bigger, more expensive units are good for certain tactics, they aren’t always the best choice. They can be good for defensive situations and protecting a slower target, but they are not very good in a running assault while outnumbered. To read the whole Tip, click here!
Next comes the quick Tip of the Week #4 from Nadin Brzezinski: When playing around a table, DO NOT touch soembody else's minaitures unless you have thier permission. You have no idea how many times I have seen that done, and people just [scream]! Thanks, Nadin. I know I've had more than a few minuatures get damaged from that -- I feel your pain!

Archer's Miniatures Does CAV |
|
Ron Smith from Archer's Miniatures sends word that his site has a new CAV gallery. |
This Just In... |
|
If you can read this consider yourself fortunate. Our host's service provider's network issues have been haunting us for about four days now, and as you can see it's taking a while to resolve. DSL.net's service representative assures us that a complete resolution is at hand, however. Thanks for your patience. Note that email is also down for us, so if you've sent us something expect a response as soon as things are running smoothly again. |
Back in Business |
|
Looks like we're functioning properly again. We now return you to your regularly scheduled program. |
Knight in 3D |
|
John Bear Ross from Hellion Productions sent his latest creation our way. Check out the excellent CAD version of the Hughes-Marietta Knight. One thing to note about the Knight is the design similarities between it and the Warlord, which it shares direct and indirect missile packs with.

Updates and Upcoming |
|
I've updated the Digital CAV page with the latest revised images of the Tsuiseki, Fenri, and Warlord. Also, images of the Knight (four of them) have been added to the page as well. I've got last week's Tip of the Week on the way, but as always please send in your own tips. I'd like to have a good supply to keep the feature going, and hopefully I'll have another soon for this week. Also, I'll be moving the Journal of Recognition preview images from the Digital CAV page to a new Analog CAV page in the near future. Analog CAV will feature hand-drawn artwork from both Reaper and fans alike. We should also have a semi-automated miniature gallery online soon similar to the one found on Freefall's Memory Core. Finally, we are always accepting submissions for CAV fiction, artwork, miniatures, etc. Battle reports, convention or demo photographs, you name it. It's all about content! If you have something to contribute to the CAV community don't hesitate to contact us. We want Mil-Net to be the best site for fans of the game as we can, but it's only possible with your support.

Cheap Trees Are Back |
|
I came across this at Miniature Gamers in their news. War Zone Terrain has announced the return of their Cheap Trees terrain pack. At 2 - 2.5 inches tall, these trees will work great with CAV, and as the name says, are very cheap! Check them out at War Zone's online store.

Tip of the Week #5 |
|
Last week's Tip of the Week (yep, we're a bit behind) is brought to you by Quester from RuneSmith Studio: The Rolling Box Thanks for the tip, Quester!

GAMA Survey |
|
GAMA (the guys and gals that run the gaming trade show/convention in Las Vegas every year) needs your help in a survey they've asked a few sites to participate in. Unfortunately Mil-Net currently doesn't have a good method in place for surveys, polls and the like, so check out the Forum link below and answer the questions! Click here for the questionairre.
|
Tip of the Week #6 |
|
This week's (better late than never!) Tip of the Week concerns being prepared, and is written by yours truly: Wow! Great advice, me! 
|
BatRep Dearth |
|
It has recently come to my attention that we haven't had an appropriate Battle Report submitted since August! I know you guys (and gals, of course) are playing CAV, so why not jot down your game experiences and send them in? Just give us details: Forces used, scenario layout, tactics and strategies used by and against you, etc... turn-by-turn is nice but not necessary. |
3D Kikyu! |
|
John Bear Ross from Hellion Productions has been hard at work on the CAD version of the Mitso-Ta Kikyu gunship. Here's the results!

To check out the rest of the Kikyu images check out the Digital CAV page. When you're done, let John Bear know what you think on the Mil-Net Forums.
