wisetiger7 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 So you guys keep mentioning Red Castle, but I had a horrid experience there and vowed to never go back. So I'm torn... I'd like to play with people and learn the game. But that place will never garner my business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 I think there is an infinity league starting in Vancouver as well - I'm hoping to get in on some more infinity after the summer is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don't Panic Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 So you guys keep mentioning Red Castle, but I had a horrid experience there and vowed to never go back. So I'm torn... I'd like to play with people and learn the game. But that place will never garner my business. id say give them ONE more chance. i think every place deserves a 2nd chance tbh and ive receded my negative initial feelings as well when i return and have a positive one. they have great tables to play on and the guys that come on thursdays bring a ton of infinity terrain. to me, the employees have always been interactive/nice when i approached them so maybe you just ran into a bad egg that is probably canned by now(how long ago was this)? they also have this nice feature of you knowing what they have in stock online which is pretty sweet... but really, i guarantee with eric, brad and the other infinity troops that you wont have a negative time the 2nd time through.

wisetiger7 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 That's the one I went to. The one on Foster. It's not really new. It's been there for at least 5 or 6 years, maybe longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don't Panic Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 no the portland game store opened 2 weeks ago lol. and is on killingsworth in NW. but give red castle another chance. i think 3-4 years for one experience is sufficient. i mean its not like they took you favorite game and made it into a glorified game of LoTR RISK *cough* (jk) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The store was clean and had several people working inside. The store minions were all helpful and friendly. The stock was low, but they have had some bad luck as of late. Otherwise, I would have man a purchase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peanut Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Give it another try, the owner is super nice, most of the employees are really, really nice (and new, I think there's been a big turnover there). I think it was 3 or 4 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Peanut, Question about last night, looking at the Dispersion rules, it looks like 1) with the Combat Jump ability, if I disperse off the table, I can deploy the model in my zone at the edge of the table. 2) I can only place the round template where there is no terrain. Is this correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 1) I believe that is only possible with combat jump 5, superior combat jump. Did your guys have that or just combat jump? 2) not sure... Ill check that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don't Panic Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 i know regular jump they can come on somehow but maybe its the following turn? my robots although have a special rule where if they dont land on they are destroyed lol. for the second one, im pretty sure RD has that right because i just read that not long ago. but you only scatter if you fail a roll right?

Jay Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Wisetiger, The guys who were working the store that long ago were a completely different crew. The owners have put a lot of work into having a friendly competent staff now. Please check them out again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 The Superior Combat Jump ability is what allows them re-deploy. Prepped 6 bases for the incoming Operation IceStorm models. I drilled magnets into the bases and filled in the gaps with green stuff. Then, I magnetized the base of the Szalamander with 4 magnets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Assembled a Reverend Custodian, magnetized a few bases on the assembled purchased models, and now I am working on a Cat Woman Doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Today, I cleaned up a Salyut model, watched a Beast of War battle rep, watched George and John play 300 points of ITS Armoury scenario for an upcoming scenario at Super Salty Games (the store with no sign), and started making a few cargo boxes out of old toys and plas-card.

Boogers! I missed you then. Saturday evenings I -usually- have other commitments, otherwise I would have been there harassing you guys! :) I also put together 2 cargo-containers today, myself. Got some more terrain coming in the mail this week.... along with a certain boxed set, too, I hope! :) -Tim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raindog Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Today, I worked on a building, built a few crates, barrels, and the like. I sprayed some of the terrain, but ran out of spray. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andozane Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Raindog, be careful with the Beats of War videos...they are playing N2 still I believe, so some of their rules they do and explain are actually incorrect in N3 (cover being a big one IIRC) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are N3. One is Operation Ice Zone and they explain the new N3 rules. The other is the new USAdriana vs. Pan-O. What are you playing?
