I've been absolutely stomped by a tiger soldier for about 5 games in a row now. We're playing 150 pts, I'm maf, and he'll manage to pick off 80% of my monkeys in the first turn. How do I counter him? With the initiative he can wiggle just right so it's always his B4 on 9 or 12 against my one on 6 or 9. Anything I should try, or is the counter to mimetic airborne troops just luck?

Yeah, the 'slicing the pie' thing really irked me as well the first time I played it - you think you've got a corner covered well enough, but 5 minutes of careful 0.1mm umm and ahing by your opponent means they just get picked off one by one. It's pretty well established in the meta around here, though, so no probs. I still don't like doing it - but I'm fine with others doing it now I know to prepare for it. One day I'll succumb  It does mean you free up regular troops from defence and focus more on flame throwers and total reaction purely for holding flanks, though. That makes list building a bit easier for aggressive lists. Planned defence is a joke, though, as it's only ever 1v1 with easy risk analysis. e: You can nerd-fluff justify it by saying the troop is cautiously approaching the corner and only exposes himself the minimal amount to take a shot at the first target. Kinda makes more sense that way. Pidgin Englishman fucked around with this message at 02:41 on May 22, 2016 |

The infinity wiki is maintained by corvus belli and has the basic rules laid out. The actual pdfs are a bit easier to read, and HSN3 hasn't been added to the wiki yet, but the wiki is still where I go 90% of the time. http://wiki.infinitythegame.com/en/Main_Page

Slow grows are great for that, they lead you into 300 at a good pace. Even better if you and a mate are practising the missions between rooms to get the basics solid. A lot of the older players are quite sure that certain rules work in ways they just don't.. I think I'm just getting to the point where can wrap my head around a 300 pt game, after 6 mounts and probably 20-25 games. There's still a situation every game or two which makes me grab the wiki. Also the game seems to be about being super conservative when not sure. Unless you're confident you're not gonna get in a close situation in a fire lane, don't deploy there.

So what about missions with repeaters built in? I'm thinking Transmission Matrix - are the mission based repeaters linked to everyone's hackers as well, or is it just ZoC as they're not 'enemy' repeaters?

Overdron?  The xeodrons are such gorgeous models I can't wait. I'd put off assembling all the wings and little bits on them as I thought it'd be a headache, but it was way easier than I thought metal could ever be.

BlackIronHeart posted:MAF for noobs Yeah, I've got to second this. I played them in a slow grow recently and had a pretty hard time. There were a lot of good players in the group, and I was completely new, but I found they either did amazing, or fell apart. There were no close (imo fun) games. Spot on about lietenants and retreat too, I never thought of who the enemy's leut was, or if they were close to retreat. Also while they are hard, they don't shine in any area except 'not running away'. If you know how to exploit that, cool, but as a new player it's tricky to do. For the cost of one of your medium guys most other players can bring some fairly nasty killers or very tricky specialists. YMMV of course, if you've been playing other skirmish games recently it might help. If you do go with them don't mess around trying to be clever, just take sogarats

It's a pretty flexible model though. It could proxy as a malignos reasonably well, or as a nexus operative (as they don't have models yet). I played the first tagline game on the weekend, it was good fun. I ran onyx, and having nearly 400 pts is brutal - I went for all the toys, so had a xedron/Samaritan link, overdron hrmc, Unicron/nexus/legate link and a malignos FO. What should have been a PanO victory, or at least a draw, turned into a 9-2 onyx win thanks to the overdron being obscenely lucky. It managed to save three hrl hits in one order, take out a knight and wound another with one order, and take out a seraph (standing in for macanaya) in one order. What a (lucky) beast.

BlackIronHeart posted:I don't know if it's viable but it looks fun. I've tried something similair, with an m-drone and e drone alongside the links. It works decently, marksman and template plasma on a 3 burst sniper is so nice. Plus the option of dogged or 2-stage unconcious. You really want a hacker out of the link, though, so putting up supportware doesnt get your sniper pinged. The xeodron Harris is a bit trickier to use - it's all the army's assault potential, but the Samaritan is pretty fragile and there's no long range weapons. It gets locked down by snipers or tr bots fairly easily, but on the other hand you've got 2 tags and an nwi model, so it can soak up a bit of damage. Overdrons are hot, though. A 3 wound hrmc/burst 3 plasma sniper is tasty. I'm thinking one of them and a xeodron red fury are a nice base. Sprinkle some Unidron links, ikadrons, and an umbra or two. Maybe a malignos infiltrating fo? So much good stuff.

That feel when defersen tries to hack your overdron for the game-winning order, but the overdron crits him with a rocket instead  A mate and I have been working through the tagline campaign, it's been good fun. Though honestly jungle terrain can go jump - poor movent, -1 burst, and -3bs mod everywhere makes for such a painful game (unless you've got a lot of msv). Im playing onyx, and I'm finding the overdron a nice, solid choice regardless of loadout, and frankly it's more of an auto include than a TR bot. Though that might just be the local meta meaning someone always has a turn-1 tr bot removing unit lined up. Xeodrons I'm less sure about - I like them, but at times I feel a suryat would probably do the job better thanks to smaller size and range bands.
