Wiccus Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hey guys! Many of you have heard me talking about an infinity league for a while now and I'm finally getting it going. Dark Tower will be providing prize support so we will be using their new official league structure. There will be an entry fee of $25 spent in store to participate in the league. This can be on anything such as a board game, infinity products or even just a gift card that you can buy snacks and drinks with. There will be prizes awarded to: Best Overall Favorite Opponent Best painted non TAG miniature. The league will start on Tuesday, August 28th and end on October 2nd. There will be a prize for best general, and anyone that has a fully painted 300pt force at the end of the league will be entered into a prize drawing. Anyone who plays all 6 games will receive a free random miniature at the end. This is also a great lead up to Emerald City Incursion Mk. II. This is a tournament down in Seattle on November 10th and 11th hosted by our very own Andy. He can supply better details as the date approaches. Week 1 Mission: Annihilation. 150 point lists, limited insertion, no fire teams, no hackers, no command tokens Week 2 Mission: Firefight. 200 point lists, limited insertion, no fire teams, no hackers, no command tokens Week 3 Mission: Frontline. 250 point lists, limited insertion, no hackers Week 4 Mission: Supremacy. 300 point lists, limited insertion Week 5 Mission: Transmission Matrix. 300 point lists Week 6 Mission: Supplies. 300 point lists The first 4 weeks of the league include the limited insertion extra. This rule limits your force to 1 combat group which means that you can have no more than 10 models in your force. In the final 2 weeks this restriction is lifted. Also keep in mind that at 150pts you are limited to 3 SWC, 200pts you are limited to 4 SWC, 250pts you are limited to 5 SWC and at 300pts 6 SWC. The rules are all free online and you will need to download the ITS season 9 missions. Any rules documents that you need can be found at https://www.infinitythegame.com/resources/downloads The website also has a handy army builder that works on mobile devices. https://www.infinitythegame.com/resources/tools/infinityarmy A helpful website listing the available hacking programs. http://www.captainspud.com/n3hacking/ I look forward to seeing everyone's space dudes shoot each other in the face. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalahanarama Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 I am new to Infinity and very interested playing in this league. I was excited to hear about an "escalation" league, as it would let me build my force week by week (letting me learn the game and my units better). But this post shows that the first game would be 200 points right out of the gate, and then that jumps directly to 300 points in the third game. That seems strange to me as I thought it would build gradually week by week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiccus Posted July 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 I am of the opinion that the game doesn't play too well below 200. However we could start at 150 and increase by 50 each week. Part of the escalation part is the missions that escalate in complexity and the ability to eventually take more than 10 troopers. But as I said we could decrease points. If you feel you would benefit more from it. This campaign is designed for people like you to get acquainted with the game so I would rather do what you would prefer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalahanarama Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 I like the idea of gradually increasing the model count and points over time, especially if I am learning the game. But alas, I am not experienced and do not know if that is best. I would like to hear other people's thoughts on this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khail Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 At 150 the games will be pretty swingy and "balance" kinda gets thrown out the window as you can't really afford to bring counters to a number of common problems. 150 games can definitely be useful for learning the mechanics if you're brand new though. I don't mind either way, I'm here to teach and show you guys how awesome this game is! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiccus Posted July 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Perhaps we could do the first week at 150 then 200 then up to either 250 or 300. Or I could run a bit of a boot camp the week or two before the league starts for newer players to get up to speed on the rules. I think I will slowly introduce concepts throughout the league as well. What sounds good to you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiccus Posted July 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 I've edited the schedule and put in some prohibitions. We will trickle in the more complicated rules like hacking, command tokens and fire teams throughout the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathonicus Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Totally excited, and definitely in! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalahanarama Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Sounds good! I will start painting my Nomads this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khail Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Oh my, with multiple other Nomad players I probably need to play something else for the league. StarCo may have to happen... at least I have most of those models. Or Shock Army. Hmmmm... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkie Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 I'll be playing Yu Jing but I don't know which faction. I have more Chinese stuff painted but I'm curious about the new JSA as well. Though I don't have any new units for either, just stuff from last edition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathonicus Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 I am thinking I may play Ariadna, just for the excuse to run Werewolves around and jump on people. @sherbert, you want me to make you some big stompy robot lists with Haqqislam? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherbert Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 so I probably wont be able to play since I will be gone for most of these tuesdays... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiccus Posted July 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 I will probably just use my Morats. There are far too few aliens in this league to oppress you filthy humans. That needs to change. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themoat Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Anyone available to sit down with me and help me build a starter force that I can expand for the league? I am looking at Pan O or Nomads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiccus Posted July 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Yeah. I could help out soon. What days are good for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMGraham Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 I’m in! I’ll be rocking my Nomads, because: a. Nomads are the best. b. My Nomads are all painted. c. I only have Nomads. d. Space Apes and other non-Nomads are literally garbage. e. All of the above. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim, you should check out the sweet, sweet new units available in Army and the new Tunguska starter. The Tungusk Sectorial is amazeballs, and Nomads got so much fun stuff. Like a motorcycle that keeps driving and fighting after it's pilot dismounts, a dude who puppet-masters up to three robots at once, and Mary Problems, the Tactical Uber-hacker. So fun. ANd look at these badasses in their suits and ties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khail Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Also, the Kriza Borac HMG is the Gunfighter that was Promised. When something needs to die, accept no substitutes. I take this guy over an Intruder (though it's a decision for sure). And the Securitate are for sure the best dressed line troops in the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiccus Posted August 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 I will be running a demo or 2 tonight for those of you who are interested. If you can't make it then I will be available this Friday and Saturday as well as next Tuesday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathonicus Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Joey, do we have a player count? I'd like to see the spread of armies so I can decide what to play to provide variety. Can't decide on my own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khail Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 I'm debating if I want to go to the dark side and start up CA for the league/Season 10. Humm.... I don't think I remember anyone else mentioning Combined yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiccus Posted August 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 No official player count. There is going to be 3 nomad players (or 4 if Andy plays) 1 Ariadna (or 2 if Justin plays them instead of Pan O, Kevin is playing JSA I think and Christian is doing Yu Jing. I will be using Morats and I think JT is doing Hassassins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
