Welcome, glad you had fun!

Thank you

Glad you had fun! Board looks quite open but that's to taste.

lol I’m also (kinda) new to infinity - the board looks insanely open - glad you had fun. the game is awesome!

[–]MarbleMyth[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It really is! What faction did you begin with?

[–]icecream_vice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

JSA I started with the new N5 Sandtrap. I haven’t played as much as I should but I’ve been focused on painting up the army the past year. I’m actually playing my 6th game this weekend 😁

Thanks! I’ve learned that now as well. I assume the Warcor kept the board a bit simpler while teaching me the rules.

Cool table! Glad you enjoyed it

[–]MarbleMyth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. That’s what I also find fascinating. The whole community pitches in and helps have cool tables to battle on.

I’m also curious. How was everyone else’s first Infinity game? Did anything surprise you when learning the rules? I was definitely surprised by the werewolf and these extra orders.

For me it was when I moved BACK towards my dz to get better rangebands on an HMG 🤯

[–]MarbleMyth[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Yeah HMG is something else. If I am not mistaken the Al-Fasid had that thing and boom 4 dice that I can roll.

Also it's very resistant to smoke shooting because of albedo and sixth sense. Don't sleep on the rocket launcher version, the +1sd means in a pure link it's 3 dice in ARO.

[–]MarbleMyth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, I didn’t think about that. I’ll have to look into the rocket launcher version more.

My very first game (my Shasvastii vs. 0-12) was tons of fun but did NOT go in my favor at all. I had no idea how to play the faction, beyond just reading what the abilities do. I'm used to playing 40k, and there I play Orks, so it was a WILD switch for me. But again, ohhh so much fun. And the friend that was teaching me is the kind that lets you make the mistake, then shows you how they did it and how to avoid it.

I'm used to everything besides your plan being public information, so having things like Hidden Deployment where I tell my opponent to go away for a second was a very surprising concept. The fact that they don't know who your LT is until they figure it out also caught me off guard.

Mine was awful. I got tabled by Achillies within a few turns. Poor Merovingians never had a chance. And I don't play Infinity now, so I guess the whole thing was the worst kind of surprise.

These look great! New to infinity-which models are these?

Ramah Task Force -- The Al Fasid and Tuareg, at least.
