    8 SWC | 400 Points

     


     

    played this silly list against exile yesterday.  didnt really look too much into what it was other than 400 points with a TAG and forgot it was decap.  i thought that was fitting as Tony just died in HSN3(spoiler) and i wont be able to use her after this week so making her the person he goes for just seemed iconic and hilarious!  exile sportin' NCA brought a squalo, aquila, hexa, fusi link with some pain in it(hmg and ML), bolt hacker(didnt realize how dang good those are in a hacking duel!), bulleteer, trauma doc, machinist and a couple of auxilia and dudes pumping orders.  OH and a garuda!!! first time ive been garuda'd!!! its so weird being on the other end of that stick haha.

    so we both had our TAGs be our Lts.  awesome.

    exile won the pan-o wip off and went first.  i took the lazy side and made him deploy first.  that was important as it allowed me to think of where to put my things.  he had a fusi link on one side with auxilia nearby.  then on other side had the hexa on ground and aquila up saying 'bring it punks' with his bot sitting nearby which struggled with his doctoring quite a bit but did his job in the end haha.  he kept back squalo as he should.  now, our setup was really interesting.  whoever did the board setup i think did a good job this time as it made us think a lot with our interactions.   

    i setup thinking about where i was going to put tony to basically bait his squalo up.  my shock army list is quite defensive so im not so scared of hackers really as i have tons of mines and camo markers and repeaters midboard.  i spread the nagas down the middle right side and peacemaker in middle left with his montessa sitting there above him ready to pick off some orders if they come by(which he tried and failed hilariously).  noting the hacker was in the middle near the corner i thought he would bring the squalo to take out tony.  Bagh mari were back middle with sniper looking at aquila but HOPEFULLY outside 32 which would give me a slight range boost over him that he probably wouldnt risk.  minelayer sensor and machinist near tony on the left side.  tony placed behind a building cowering looking down the middle lane.  

    NCA first turn:  aquila pops up and takes shots at the sniper.  he was outside of 32 and lucky for me also got shot off while he wasnt in cover!  this is good news for me cause hitting on 18s B2 ARO vs 9s B4 is something id gladly take dice wise in reactive turn.  unfortunately my dice rolled super low and he beat me with one and the poor sniper fell down :( .  he brought the fusi link up to deal with naga issues but spent a ton of orders discovering and getting around the Naga's mine.  think he killed something but cant remember with the fusi link.  maybe a bagh mari as i was down to 3 i think?  i also cant remember but he may have brought on the garuda this turn on the right board edge to apply pressure there.  i know he missed with an hmg round at something with bad dice... anyways, squalo comes chugging down the hall to take on Tony.  Naga hacker was ready and possessed.  he didnt take a wound from Tony but because of that he was able to fail guts and get back outside my hacker range!  blast!  he then brought up the bolt hacker and expelled the demons.  

    shock army turn 1:  interesting things really.  the fusi link is something i really had to deal with or they could cause a lot of issues. squalo i had pretty good beat on right now with repeaters and hackers keeping him from shooting most of my things.  aquila is a nuisance i have to take out even though i hate dealing with bs15 straight shots, but i had little choice now that my sniper was gone :( first i use Lt order to shoot with tony at Aquila.  aquila beats all my dice(i keep rolling 10s and he rolls 11s i think like 2-3 straight times or something funny like that in shootoffs against aquila) and puts a wound on Tony.  i try again and am able to put it unconscious yet noted not dead. naga is able to get one of the 2 fusiliers.  montessa nails it with a golden hit on a spec shot on 3 fusiliers, buuuuut he dodges with all 3.  DRATS!  akalis comes on and tries to get behind garuda.  garuda makes his change facing(on a 4?!) on the come-on so that changes everything... come up the side with the dronbot to take down garuda.  then take down one more fusi with a crit shotgun(yet the other one crits me back haha).  not sure much else and probably blurred second turn here.

    NCA turn 2:  bring back aquila little palbot!  oh palbot fails 2 times burning through very precious command tokens to get him back up on 3rd attempt.  think aquila fries up poor Rao in this case and breaks my link for good this time.  hexa time.  comes around the side and has to deal with mine i have placed over there protecting a flank.  using a few orders to do so.  then used a ton of orders killing the poor peacemaker which finally works and brings squalo around the corner to take more shots at Tony.  Tony having mimetism is really a godsend here.  he takes one hit but makes his arm save is like peeeeace im taking cover haha.  not sure what else happens.  

    Shock army turn 2:  in very weird angle situations i was eyeing in trying to get to his squalo with the naga.  couldnt really get past the hexa and the other side couldnt reallly do without being seen by aquila and being fried in the open.  so i really had to deal with that hexa in not very ideal ways... first i had a regular minelayer on the roof right next to it.  decided to sac him trying to kill it.  nope he gone lol.  i do finish off the fusilier link with i think the akalis or was it the naga and he finished the naga 3rd turn haha.  ugh, my memory is horrid!   anyways i knock down the aquila again with tony.  once again not dead.  think i put a wound on squalo.  machinest was able to somehow kill the hexa mostly cause it wasnt in cover... naga then moved up but i think failed to possess this time and he passed test or something?  or i probably missed idk haha

    NCA last turn:  he brings bolt hacker up to deal with naga.  i make 1 bts save from brain blast.  then take it a second time but win f2f immobilizing him(even though he has like bts 6 or something...).  oh he definitely fries the naga minelayer with auxilia here trading in what i think was an unfair trade :P 

    Shock army last turn: oh objectives!  those things!  so i FO with dronbot against a downed model for 1.  decide that since squalo is in open and points probably only come from killing it... go big or go home?  bring out Tony for one last hurrah and she downs squalo.  naga data scans squalo for final objective.

     

    crazy game really.  lots of really bizarre interactions that were kinda cool.  kinda liked a big game like this as seeing all the toys on the table was pretty cool.  Tony lived to see another day!(well, 1-3 more days anyways hahaha)

     

    Tony was def the Lt, not the bagh mari.  picked the wrong bagh mari when making list again :P 

  2. hey so im coming!  problem is emily needs the car... by chance anyone have room for my crap to transport me to the drinks location afterwards?  if not i just wont bring the terrain(which i have 4 new pieces from TDT!).

    oh should state i dont need a ride home just a place to keep my crap until we are done afterwards!

  3. I took Monday off as a mental health day. Anybody want to throw down on Monday Night at Guardian Games for BeerFinity?

     

    7 PM.

    nice.  im pretty positive someone will be able to throw down with you... let me ask adam.  he would be a verrrrry good test for you if he shows up!

  4. I miss you guys dearly.... 

     

    I havent thrown dice in an age. I am a fan of dead games.

     

    8th edition Fantasy was awesome despite all the BS.... I know how to play it. I can play a game in 2-3 hours without having to thumb through rules and figure it all out again. The problem with 9th edition is that I have to re-learn the entire game. At least when GW did the updates, certain aspects of the game changed, but for the most part we knew what we were doing. 9th age has TOO many changes to the core of the game. Not a fan.

     

    AOS is boring. Ive played it many times and I'd play it again but its Boring and doesnt provide the strategic planning spark 8th did when I left the game store after a game or two, Simple as that. 

     

    Confrontation 3.5 (the best miniature game ever created) to Confrontation 4 with all the pre painted plastics did exactly what AOS did to 8th.... Killed it for me and most. 

     

    SO if anyone wants to play dead games, 8th ed or Confrontation 3.5. Im down. Other than that, my dice and toys are put away. 

    miss you too bro... sometime when i actually have a life ill hit you up for that

  5. Damn!,,first they complete the release for all the Grand Alliance books,then add in multiple ways to play the game along with a point system for competative play,then wrap it up with a Global campaign!

     

    Almost like maybe it was planned that way or something:)

    if they planned it that way, then they planned it pretty stupidly in financial regards.  old crews would have at least given it more of a shot if they had a point system in the beginning to base off of, then comp it.  with the whole 'everyone do whatever comp you want cause we dont care just stare at your opponent for dice rolls' technique THAT'S what really pushed people away.  the game had no synergy to start from and people dont want to waste a ton of time finding someone's comp they agree with they want a basis to start from.  their 'plans' were beyond stupid.  it lost them i would guess 50% of the old whfb crowd.  the others were already lost, but they could have saved a lot of numbers had they made the game more playable competitively from the beginning... 

  6. the 'why' part shouldnt be discussed here guys.  ive heard both sides and its really not that dramatic and seemed to be handled pretty professionally as both parties respect each other a lot as friends, along with being former colleagues.  please be respectful to Joel and if you want to gossip do it in a PM......  leave this thread to talking about drinking beer and infinity  :wink:

  7. So I got hired by GG to be part time bartender and will be serving drinks to you guys on Monday now haha. Don't worry though as I made it a clause that I'm still helping you guys out with questions and such along with watching over and setting up terrain. Good times!

  8. Thanks for response. I'll have to check out this Glimpse of Wonders in Sherwood.

    they just got a new store i believe as well!  there's a decent group of folks ive heard playing infinity/guildball/wmh there.  definitely check it out

    i think ive seen a few guildball people playing monday nights at GG while im hosting infinity game nights... its a really cool looking game and models look really nice too

  9. so far i have 5 people that have sent me info and i have written down.  although im pretty sure some people *cough* rudra *cough* are participating, i do need the info to put you on the list!  i hypothesize we will have ~10 people which is AMAZING!  once again, please get me that info asap as i need it by a week from next monday!  so far:

    Mike Zocchi corigidor

    Kevin Jaimes QK

    adam bienvenue onyx force

    nathaniel hart morats

    nate roberts steel phalanx(yup im a dick)

  10. I like this format. With the blood bowl league wrapping up, I may be able slide right into this.

     

    Nate: I will be going on extended vacation in a couple months... 3 weeks or so. Would this make it impossible for me to join? (Since I would guaranteed miss one match)

     

    Thx

    Seth

    there is one bye allowed within the rules!  so yes you would be fine then.  reason i made it longer was because it is going into summer and scheduling is hard cause we are adults and have lives or something!  so as long as you dont take a full month vacation you should be fine to play!  

  11. So this Monday there will be nothing, but there will be the next Monday?

    correct.  i have it written down currently as biweekly but will be changing that once league begins i think.  im probably game for one monday though.  my game quantities have slipped in the past 2 months :( 

  12. adam, new guy who moved from cali recently and is a stand up awesome guy, just started this group.  ive been apart of the sherwood one for a little time now and it essentially works like a chat group about games/hobby.  so its more 'fast paced' than a forum.  also lets you schedule games on it i think with calendar stuff?  idk im just getting use to it myself haha but it is a fun function!

  13. This will be the last day before the start of the escalation league so its a good idea to get me info/payment for the league at this date! i will also be going by W.O.W. on the sunday before to chat about the league as well!

     

    Come on down to Guardian Games from 7pm-close and throw down your beer and d20s!

  14. hey D,

    yes im quite lenient on when/where you play as long as you both can make it.   i do think a thing to keep in mind is that most people will have very strict availability so when i make pairings i would like also to know your available days and im hoping you can make it to either one of those nights just for the sake of people's schedules.  for example, i know raindog works mondays so he cannot attend beerfinity so if you have the opposite issue i wouldnt pair you with each other... we also will be playing at guardian at 7pm on mondays for beerfinity which when league starts im making every week a possibility too!  so right now eric/I will be coordinating a bit for sundays/mondays when players come to those game nights.  but yea thats why im making it more flexible with 2 weeks rather than 1 cause life and stuff.  

    as for tuesdays, i do think that is a day where most people that are playing infinity right now unfortunately dont have availability :(  at least i know i dont and 2-3 others do not as well... but would love to have you on board brotha as your beautiful models need some game time!  

  15. 2016 PDX Human Sphere N3 ITS Escalation League!

     

                Greetings everyone!  With the excitement of Human Sphere N3 approaching I have decided to establish a super slowwwww grow ITS escalation league!  This is a great time for new players to jump in and start getting comfortable with the game and also for veterans to learn the new rules together.  Paint a new faction/sectional or play one you already own that really intrigues you with new rules and you want to learn how to utilize them!  There will be a kit involved and it will be a standard tournament fee of 10$ with every penny going to prize support!  You will have to use the same faction/sectional the entire way through and it is an 8 round event starting at 120 points and ending with the last few weeks at 300 points!  When I say super low, I do mean super slow as I will be making each round 2 weeks long to give everyone a chance to get his or her games in.  It is VERY necessary to be able to get your game in as I will not be able to do the next round without completion of all games!  I will be starting the league Tuesday May 3rd and will be announcing each pairings on biweekly Tuesdays.  After I announce your pairings, you can generate a total of 2 lists.  Both must be with you WHEN you go to your game.  You cannot just make up a list after you see what your opponent has brought(not cool bro!)…. That's about my only stipulation there.  Have either me at Guardian for beerfinity or Eric Weber at Western Oregon Wargamers(Ordo Sunday Game nights) check to make sure your lists are legal.  If neither of you can make that work and are going somewhere else just email me the lists you want to use at nrobber87@gmail.com and I will check with your opponent afterwards if they recall most of the things in the list.  If you CANNOT find a date to work for you do not fret!  I can manage that quickly just make sure to email/contact me ASAP and I will make a switch for either of you or give both of you a BYE week if worst case scenario.  In order to join this awesome adventure I will need a few things:

    ·      Your name, faction/sectional and ITS Pin

    ·      10$

    ·      Contact info for you and your opponent to get together with(phone/email)

                I would like to reiterate the main purpose of this league is to have fun and learn about the game.  Sure everyone’s objective is to win and that’s great and should be goal of your game but make sure you come into the game with the mindset to learn and have fun as well!  There will be prizes based on participation amounts.  I will probably do one for sportsmanship votes and best painted miniature during the league growth along with overall winner of the league!  Contact me by May 2nd in order to join and may the dice be with you!

    Oh and please check out pg 53-57 of the ITS guide http://download.infinitythegame.com/itsrules/2016/en/v1.0/itsrules.pdf
