Operation Ice Storm


Fix

Recommended Posts

It's pretty unlikely. We're probably looking at 7 Nomads, 7 PanO, and an O-12 commissioner. With all the new sculpts they've been doing, it'll be a great looking set. The big question is wht set of rules it'll come with.

 

And, of course, what's up with that terrain.

A few of the other teaser posts they've made leading up to this reveal have all been from the PanO perspective, mentioning a Nomad raid on their industrial sites.  Combine that with the long-running rumors of Svelharma being the next big locale after Paradiso and that's pretty much what we're left with.

Well, the mini rule book looks like infinity 3rd ed, what with that logo.

Evidently they are giving it away as a tourney prize at the end of July, so coming soon!  They have also confirmed that it's all metal.

 

 

 

Also coming at Gencon:

Copied from Dakka:

 

 

 

Most excellent. BoW is supposed to have coverage, but they take their time posting it. 

 

In the meantime, it looks like at least one place in Spain has Icestorm up for pre-order http://www.e-minis.net/juegos-reglamentos/operation-icestorm-edicion-limitada-miniatura-exclusiva-p-67890.html and the Warstore too http://www.thewarstore.com/product93647.html for $100.99 

 

The book contents are described on the Spanish site. Since I am a nice guy most of the time, a translation of sorts... It is 64 pages, 32 in English, 32 in Spanish. It includes a short guide to the Infinity universe, 5 tutorial missions, backgrounds and profiles for all the miniatures included-- including the 3 new profiles-- and the rules to play them. And advice on how to get deeper into the game. By way of comparison, the complete ruleset dowload is 57 pages. And this book will have art as well as the background material, so who knows how complete it will be. It will have Camo and Airborne deployment rules.

 

So it looks like you won't be getting by with just the mini-rulebook from this set.

FYI:  Anyone who is going to be pre-ordering this set (which gets them the Limited Edition corporate security bodyguard model) might want to get on that preorder, because they're only doing 5,000 copies of that model.  There will still be more of the starter box, but once they run through that first run, she's out of it.

 

Just noticed I didn't include her with the pics above.

For those in the Portland/Vancouver area the Portland WarCors already got one of these and was demoing it already. I was playing another player but was next to where they were demoing the set and the components are amazing. Those cardboard buildings can use your old unit brown boxes to slip inside to give structural support. 

 

People were certainly having fun and there was some amusing stuff happening with the CSU. She acts as a Total Reaction enemy in the center of the board and was up on a crate in one scenario and the PanO player first thing he does is shoots her, hits she saves but fails her Guts roll so she fell off the crate away from him so she has a crate between her and PanO but now she has clear LoF to the Nomads side and has cover! 

 

It was hard not to laugh at my buddy playing the Nomads.

 

So in other words on Thursdays and maybe Saturday evenings you can catch Jake at Red Castle.
