Infamy, Infamy! The Movie. Part One

Rich shows us how the pre-game set up works, from generating the terrain, the scenario, the Game Deck, Infamy Deck and the Pre-Game Scouting Phase.

[@majmellow]

The way the terrain is set up is so simple, but I Love the random nature of it. No one knows for certain exactly what the table is going to look like

[@blpx7595]

Thanks for making this great introductory video series. It helps me alot to get into this system alongside reading the rules. Greetings to all lardies :)

[@KingMATTtheSuperior]

lovely looking board rich! the set up seems exciting and the ambush points will make for an interesting game!

[@toofatlardies]

KingMATTtheSuperior Thanks. I’ve religiously used the random terrain set up for every play test game. It works the scouting phase is interesting and influences force selection subtly.

[@SHAMUS991]

Well done Rich, ahead of the curve in supporting this new ruleset. Your effort saves gamers time and is appreciated..

[@Ian_KH]

I wasn't at all interested in Infamy Infamy but this video has whetted my appetite. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

[@paulspaintshed3511]

Excellent video Rich. Cant wait for my copy to arrive. Far too much excitement at my age!

[@DecisiveOperations]

I'm excited about the eventual release of Infamy, Infamy! The Musical!

[@toofatlardies]

[@jackdeily8615]

Making little 60mm dioramas for the ambush points is some of most fun I've ever had with miniature painting. This is a wonderful game, and after my Foundry Germans and Celts are done (we have a lot of the same miniatures!) I think I'll be picking up the full Infamy, Infamy package.

[@johnmclennan7425]

Fizzing at the bung for the next video! Great work Rich.

[@mikeblake3001]

Excellent - looking forward to playing this in a few weeks time. I am also glad to see Linda has already viewed it.

[@toofatlardies]

I think she’s stalking me! Understandably. What woman wouldn’t? Ahem...

[@kenwelsh455]

Marvellous. I’ve asked for the rule book from Santa.

[@willburn8583]

Thanks for the video, the table and the rules both look great. I am really looking forward to seeing the game.

[@mitchellberdinka1403]

Nice job explaining the setup phases. Looking forward to the actual game video. The Terrain generation looks like it could easily be used for SP.

[@christophernelson4624]

Richard Great to see how everything looks.

[@WargamersAnonymous]

Thanks Rich great explanations and looking forward to the next video. I need to crack on with my forces!

[@TheEccentricMan]

Excellent walk through Rich. I now have to get some nakee fanatics for my Germans. Loving the table and the scenario set up system. However slightly disappointed there was no flash of lightning or crash of thunder.

[@toofatlardies]

The Eccentric Man you’d be more disappointed if I started flashing!

[@TheEccentricMan]

@@toofatlardies Hahaha

[@Arachn4]

Awesome. Getting so hyped up. Can't wait!

[@toofatlardies]

Me too actually. I can’t wait to get the rules. Really excited.

[@bloodyswordsvids4463]

I like the strategically place beer can next to the table! Can’t wait to get my copy of the rules.

[@toofatlardies]

That's one of the micro kegs I got with the beer engine. I thought I'd move them all!

[@bloodyswordsvids4463]

You’re better than me. Mine would be in the middle of my table, cold and 1/3 full. What size forest bases do you use?

Great presentation!

[@holidayshobbies1296]

Very good stuff

[@martingomez4876]

First game of Infamy. I played the Turncoat card when my stand of Med Cav was met by a stand of Roman Med Cav. The card says "A former enemy joins your cause and boosts the morale of your men". And "This card allows a player to avoid taking a force Morale test". I considered that if I play this card, the enemy becomes a "turncoat" - as per the very title of the card - and joins my side AND (if appropriate) I don't have to take a Force Morale Test. Opponent did not agree. He said the card only allowed the player to not take a Force Morale Test. But then why call it a "TURNCOAT" card? Opponent said it was the way the card was written. We agreed to email you for your intention when you put it together. What does the card enable the user to do - switch an enemy unit, not take a test or both?

[@MadMonk_]

Rules and bits all on order, now waiting for them to arrive :)

[@chalkboy8]

I cannot wait for these rules!!!!! Ave

[@ostrowulf]

Cheers for the video. Looking forward to my rules arriving... eventually, as I think post to Canada is still slower.

Can the power of Lard Magic be used to make Beer & Bacon appear just as quickly as the trees?

[@toofatlardies]

If only life were so wonderful. Just trees sadly.

[@FleetfootMike]

@@toofatlardies Look on the bright side. You could have snapped your fingers and 50% of your toy collection turn to dust. Wise to restrict the power, I think.

[@dancarson1479]

Love these rules

[@michaelmacdonell4834]

It looks like I have some back numbers to view! It also seems that tabletop wargaming has evolved somewhat since I last played in 197frozen

[@marcrenouf2470]

Before seeing the run-up for Infamy Infamy, I had little to no interest in ancients. Now I find myself looking longingly at Victrix Romans and have already pre-ordered the rules. Curse you, lardies! :)

[@jinxxathomez]

anyone know what the infantry figures are on? what size are the round bases? Looks to me 20mm for troops and 25mm for leaders? (or maybe 1p and 2p if I understand are about the same size)

[@-51_51-]

Joshua Morris take a look at some of the earlier infamy vids for base size, if I remember rightly it isn’t supposed to be essential. But don’t quote me.

[@eddiepennington345]

Is this game suitable for multi player games?

[@markwoodford1733]

Hi how many dice does a scorpio shoot? As they could kill 2 or 3 in one shot eh

[@toofatlardies]

One D6 per crew member. So they can kill more than one figure

[@carlschdroski3777]

This looks awesome, who's figures are you using?

[@Agent_Pumpkin]

I think most of them are Foundry. Take a look at the Infamy force vids, think Rich says in them...

[@ADHDlanguages]

Is this an updated version of the list from the Imperial Roman video with FOUR legionary units, with one unit each of aux and archers?

[@toofatlardies]

Yes. Four was just too limiting for support options. That said, four groups of legion is, I still think, the ultimate weapon of war if you can get then enemy to fight you head on. It’s a thing if beauty.

[@ADHDlanguages]

@@toofatlardies well in that case I'm just a few archers away from a civil war scenario! That's pretty cool.

[@chalkboy8]

Where did you get the naked lady? I know the other figs are Foundrey Germanic women.

[@johntailby74]

This sounds like one of those classic British movies "Carry on up the Rhine" back before everything was bought from America. If you roll trees on in a sector with a hill can you put the tress on a hill or do you have this artificial gap between features?

[@toofatlardies]

john tailby woods on hills is fine, habitation on hills is fine. Marshes on hills isn’t. Marshes in woods isn’t. So there is no artificial gap.

[@Subcomandante73]

[@patwingfield4347]

Are the terrain pieces of a specific size?

[@quackstheking]

Broadly 12" square but clearly that can be irregular shapes!

[@toofatlardies]

Kind of roughly 12” square, but it is by no means critical to be accurate about that.
