Still hunting for high quality (or really anything but lovely-cell-phone-photo-taken-in-a-dark-room-quality) concept art if anyone has ideas. I think it would really improve the look a lot.

This is perfect for me, I am going to replace the unit pictures with my own painted miniatures.

So, with the opening of a new store here in town, we have around 12 people that want to start an Infinity group. To go along with that I also want to make a small demo board that is easily moved around and can be put away at the store. Something good for showing the basics of the game and introducing new players.

What is the smallest I can get away with? Im thinking a 2' x 2' with some fixed terrain is about as small as I can really get it to show off the game and how its basic systems work, Thoughts?

If I just stick to the rules that pertain to the figures that come in the box, do you think that would be fine? I myself haven't even learned how to play yet.


Suggestions on how I should make the lists from the two player box? Like which figures from each side should be the LT

Generally I've been using the ORC/Mobile Brigada as the Lts, it shows off the fancy Lt order and gets the big stompy dudes to get stuck in and involved. I usually let the players know they can opt for the other minis that can legally be the Lt (Fusiliers or the Alguacils) if they want to hide the Lt too and let them decide.

Plus that shouldn't be an issue of sticking to those rules. I'll track down my Icestorm rulebook and I might spend an evening scanning it to make a PDF. Don't CB have any quick start rules at all digitally? or only those little print out booklets?

They have a page on their site that is "quick start rules" but its very basic, and isn't for Icestorm specifically.

I am MAR, so my lt was pretty obvious, sogarat with HMG on a building behind a barrier. He moves his impetuous dudes, no AROs, then the next model he moves in his lt moves between two buildings. he thought he was clear of Lof, but I could see basically the entire model because of the angle, he got cover as it was about 20% obscured by the first building which he was hugging. One lucky shot took him out. then the fuerbach REM pounded 5 orders worth of shots into the sogarat :P

Shouldn't you have dodged and moved away after the first couple of shots?

Sorry I meant the FAQ which will eventually be an errata. That's my bad.

Basically the order from the CB website went up this morning and they sold out within 20 minutes, during which the website itself locked out due to traffic. I know we sold ours (FSG) within an hour and I only got mine by them keeping a pre-order aside for me until I got in to pay for it.

tldr people are complaining that they didn't get on the earlier orders and waited for CBs last minute pre-order and then missed out by the traffic stalling out the website.

I've got 5 copies on preorder through my distributor, I'll be happy too hook some goons up for retail + shipping.

Whats the deal with Shasvastii? are their sculpts changing? they seem hard to get a hold of.

It will probably be the longest first turn followed by very short 2nd and 3rd turns.

Adding Impetuous Smoke Grenade-dudes (daturazi/Oznat) might protect them on your turn, but you'd still need to add regular orders for them to reach the enemy. Currently they get 2 orders each, which doesn't get them anywhere.

It shouldn't take longer than two turns to get into range, they are 6-6, meaning that they could easily moving 24 inches a turn (Impetious move-move, irregular move-move) they also have Climbing Plus which means they can go right over walls and buildings easily enough.

Suppressive fire is nice and all, but I dont see how you will kill 32 figures before they are on top of you and hitting with CC 19, DM 14 with AP. Also when they die, they have explode 1. Not to mention if youw ant to go suppressive, its a full order.

That list, and that kind of thinking, is 'hams thinking and fundamentally misses how Infinity is played. Why don't you play some 5 vs. 5 starter games to start to see how the game actually plays before posting troll lists, then you might actually trick some people into engaging with your idiocy.

I'm sorry for asking? You should probably go outside and take in some fresh air.

Does anyone know what the actual dimensions of the N3 silhouettes are? Ive been searching the net for them and cant find any specific numbers. I see I can print the templates but I want to laser cut some, which mean I need the dimensions.

By pulling the PDF in illustrator and measuring I get

S1 25x25
S2 25x40
S3 40x32
S4 55x32
S5 40x45
S6 40x55
S7 55x67

I am planning a static board, it will be 2x2 foot sections that go together in a specific way, the clutter will be lose so that that part of it can be different every game. I need some opinions on layout.



Im planning to make some roofs accessible, and some upper floors will be enterable, nothing on lower floors will be accessible however. Im looking for feedback on the basic shape and layout from people who are more familiar with the game than i am. Thanks.

There are the concrete changes that I would make.



The one guy I've played that had a similar setup used an interesting idea. He had static streets built up on a very thick pink foam board in two 2x4 sections and you could pull some panels to reveal some drainage ditch looking spaces that had bridges running over them and then he had a bunch of multi story buildings that he could scatter as needed. It's an impressive terrain board.

Thanks Ill try this out, the cylinders are actually units for scale, the small one is S2, the mid an S4 and the big an S7

I got a couple questions.

Rolling for Initiative / Deployment:
The way we interpreted it, was that there is a F2F WIP roll for Lts. The winner chooses if they want to pick deployment or initiative.

The player which gets to pick initiative makes that decision
The player with deployment picks a table side and who deploys first.

Burst weapons with Fire:
When getting a crit with a fire weapon, you cause a wound then autimatically make another ARM roll. What happens if your burst 2, one is a hit one is a crit? The crit auto causes a wound, do you make the ARM roll against the fire, or the regular hit first? the fire rules state that when you pass an ARM roll you stop making fire ARM rolls, so I assume you make the Fire auto hit first, and keep rolling that until you pass, then you make the second hit from the burst hit.

Last question, how is our table layout looking?


Everyone in my area is very new to Infinity so that is the reason for all the questions.

osirisisdead posted:

You have two hits. So you take one auto wound and start rolling to see how many more you take from the fire for the first hit. Then you roll for the second hit and then do the fire thing again.


Alright, then is this the same with an explosive weapon with fire / poision.

Its only 1 attack that causes 3 hits. The wording for Fire / poision is that you only make those per attack, not per hit.

Question on Templates and ARM rolls, for say, Chain Rile, and Flame thrower, you get Cover +3 ARM if the cover is between you and the origin of the template right? Providing your touching that cover of course.

Nevermind, found it on pg 35. in a big red box.

IMPORTANT!
Troopers affected by a Template Weapon cannot benefit from the
+3 MOD to ARM/BTS for Partial Cover.
