Infinity “N4.5”

Corvus Belli was at Adepticon this past week/end and unloaded a lot of new material for Infinity. A lot of it deals with a new Combined Army sectorial- the re-issue of the Morat Aggression Force but they also released the official Fireteam rules. The previous rules were released as “provisional” with the start of the latest edition N4. COVID and other factors delayed the final release until last week. The rules represent a pretty significant shift in how armies are created due to the incentives the Fireteams provide. This has caused me to unofficially call the new change N4.5. I’ll go over my take on this new change and see what it will mean for how I play Infinity in the future.

Working It Out

With the first block of Infinity Escalation League done, need to swell the Dahshat ranks a bit. I can’t just sit back on my painted Yu Jing units and pretend I’m playing Dahshat so bring on the recruits!

Past Efforts

As this transition to life in Texas stretches onward, I’ve struggled to work on anything new. Most of my gaming and hobby time has grind to a halt as we wait for our house to finish up and most of my stuff stuck in storage. There are some signs of light at the end of the tunnel as things look to close in the next couple months. Still a ways to go but soon we’ll measure the time in weeks and days instead of vague months. That being said, I did have some projects I finished up right before the move and was able to carve out some time today to showcase them properly.

TAG-Tastic

In the middle of last year, I was pretty excited about Infinity TAGs (the large mechs of the Infinity Universe). I went so far as to put them all up in a running catalog post (which I recently updated with some of the missing pics). Flash forward to earlier today and Corvus Belli announced a teaser for their next board game venture:

Infinity N4: ISS Versus Varuna

Infinity N4: First Game

With CodeOne shelved for now, we turn our eyes to Infinity N4, the latest rule set from Corvus Belli. We started out with a smaller 200 point game to keep our game time efficient but still allow for a large enough board.

CodeOne: Game 4 Farewell

With the new N4 rules dropped on Friday, we tried out one last game of CodeOne before we move back to the full game of Infinity.

Tentfinity: Code One

For this weekend’s Tentfinity, Sean and I tried out the new Code One ruleset from Corvus Belli. We split a box of the Operation Kaldstrom, Beyond Kaldstrom, and Dire Foes set and read through the new rules to put this “simplified” version of the game through its paces.

Tentfinity

With no reasonable end in sight for social distancing, my group has been experimenting with a variety of ways to still game. The hardest has been miniatures games as precise measurements and custom models/terrain are hard to replicate. We decided to try a different tack, starting with “Tentfinity”.

Completion Is Only Ever Temporary

In April, I celebrated the completion of my Infinity collection. All was assembled. All was painted. Then this “CodeOne” thing was released with my faction and, well, all good things must come to an end so I’m back in the thick of it.
