What you need to play CAV

  • To play CAV, the first thing you will need is a rulebook. The current version of the rules (2nd edition) are only available via PDF in our Starter Set, available in our online store HERE.

  • The next thing you will need are the Data Cards. They can be downloaded HERE.

  • Next thing you will need is a number of CAV miniatures. You can buy them direct from Reaper's online store HERE.

  • Next you will need some 10-sided dice (1 is enough, but 3-5 is better). Every action in the game is decided by rolling a 10-sided die, adding a modifier, and comparing it to a target number. These should be easy to find at your local game store. It would also be helpful (but not necessary) to have a few 6-sided dice too for tracking various things (like damage done to a model).

  • Next you need a tape measure (available at any home improvement store) to measure the movement of your models on the board, and a standard 52-card deck of playing cards (available everywhere) to determine the order of play (Warlord uses a random-activation sequence to determine turn order).

  • Finally, you will need a handful of small items to use as tokens. Pennies, beads, or small glass stones all work perfectly. These tokens are used to mark various things on the battlefield (e.g., a model that is under a special affect).
