Infinity Operation Sandtrap - A Guide Through the N5 Quick Start

[@moprintboy]

Really glad and grateful the channel continues to also try non-GW games even though 40K has the low-hanging fruit regarding viewcounts.

[@AKARazorback]

Especially a game as good as Infinity. SUCH a superior game system over GWs

[@Klierowski]

@@AKARazorback Yeah but look at views xD 5-8 time less.

OOOOH MYYYY GOOOOOD!!! Infinity???? More please!!

[@1986fritzthecat]

tons of great players and beautifully painted armies locally, so if they choose too theres lots of potential content

[@Ufobydeath]

Excited to see you guys take the plunge into Infinity! It's been my main game for the past decade and easily the most fun I've had with tabletop games

[@MubinTalati]

I actually really had a lot of fun with it. I actually need to do some digging around to see if I can find a starter set I won ages ago and see if I can build and paint it

[@Ufobydeath]

@@MubinTalati It's an exciting time with a new edition as well! I'm still undecided which of my armies to field once the full rules drop on the 18th; it's alarmingly easy to end up with multiple armies in this game

[@robertmaples1550]

@@Ufobydeath I mainly play Hassassins and Steel Phalanx, but am building a kitbashed "cowboy" USARF army for N5. I hope they get some love in the new edition!

[@Ufobydeath]

@@robertmaples1550 I certainly hope so! N4 was pretty rough on them but considering they've been kept around I'm hoping they get some cool stuff to work with. I'm currently leaning either Hassassins, Imperial Service or Tohaa (the latter depending on if they'll be less gross than they currently are). Shock Army were my main but they're gone now so might give a jungle themed Kestrel army a go.

[@TheZombiecrab]

Been playing Infinity since N2. Happy to see you guys giving it a try.

[@MubinTalati]

It really was fun to try out and play! I'm hoping to play some more

[@dmytrogoncharenko1086]

Please please please, make a full Infinity battle report on the same level as your 40k in 40 minutes battle reports one day. It would be sooooo immensely nice to be able to also enjoy Infinity battle reports alongside 40k battle reports regularly from you guys! 😊

[@gurtana]

this 100x

[@christoffermonikander2200]

Would love to see a 40min infinity battle just to see how it is played with full rules...

[@shouphf]

So awesome to see more people getting into Infinity. I love the game so much! I ran a 16-person tournament over the weekend to celebrate the end of N4. So excited to see what else is coming in N5. Hope to see more videos on the channel!

[@MubinTalati]

I'm really looking forward to the full N5 Ruleset! Still trying to decide which faction I really wanna play

[@shouphf]

@MubinTalati *cough* Ariadna *cough*. Not really. The thing is always tell people is to go with the one you think has the coolest guys, because thinking your guys are cool is what's going to get you through your first 10 games until you know what you want.

[@MubinTalati]

@@shouphf I know I have a little Nomad starter box in my room somewhere and I also have a big 2 player starter set (don't remember which one) hiding somewhere. Just need to find it

[@shouphf]

@MubinTalati sounds like you probably have a few good options. Hopefully one of them works for you!

[@jtmcdowell2331]

JSA all the way!

[@adambarlev8992]

So stoked you guys are giving this a shot. Been curious for years... I think now is the time!

[@MubinTalati]

N5 is definitely seeming like it'll be what causes me to take the full plunge into Infinity. I now just need to get over my fear of building and painting metal miniatures

[@adambarlev8992]

@@MubinTalati Its not that bad, I still have lots of metal Eldar. My honest recommendation is to use a good lacquer primer, something imported from Japan like Mr. Surfacer 1000 mahogany.

Man, Corvus Belli is really getting every single wargaming and hobby channel on KZbin involved hahah

[@stevo_hobbies]

So glad to see Infinity on your channel, really hope this means there will be much more in the future!!

[@drich.5984]

LOVE that you guys always are willing to branch out from the normal GW stuff we see on most KZbins. Infinity is a personal favorite of mine and a game I've played for years. Pumped to see you guys explore N5.

[@krobiekong4326]

So glad you guys played this game! It is my favorite and would love to see more reports on the channel!

[@victorhenden6909]

This was fun to see, have seen a lot of youtobers talk/paint infinity so to see a game from my favorite miniature wargame KZbin channel this was a blast hope we see more of this.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Glad you could enjoy it and I am looking forward to hopefully building a force of my own and playing a full N5 game

[@creatingmike9164]

Yes, more Infinity! I've been intrigued by this game for some time, and just recently picked up some JSA to start in N5. The ARO, hidden deployment/camo, action tokens are such awesome things!

[@bryanneal1748]

Recently picked up Infinity about two months ago. It's awesome to see you guys playing it, and hopefully we get more Infinity content!!

[@michaellewis3844]

Thanks for playing guys. The quality you bring to these videos is great, and so glad you showcased Infinity.

[@FinalApollo15]

Just got into N5, and I was pleasantly surprised to see one of my favorite channels cover infinity! I hope you guys can put together a full battle report to showcase how cool this game can be!

[@Merellin]

I hope you guys do more Infinity! I played it probably 8 years ago now and loved it, Excited to see it popping up more again. Wish I still had people to play games with...

[@InTheRedShirt]

So excited to play N5, and looking forward to more content from you guys! Well produced as always and excellent explaination of the game.

[@OfficialXSPIN]

Interesting departure from the usual! Thanks for the video guys!

[@kantaros6730]

in the 1st 6 you roll is target number it mean critical the defender have to save one more time additional cover in this game have to base contact and cover your silhouette if one point of attacker can see entire silhouette you have no cover like here at 11:59 mubin didn't have to -3 form cover cuase not thing in front of senku troop and like in the explaination you have to declare basic short skill first then short skill so you can move before shooting you still can target the model every where is had been in that order and resolve a shot at the end of the order after you moving thankyou guy for give this game a shot keep up a good work :D

[@MubinTalati]

Thank you for the feed back! The Quick Start rules didn't go over Criticals and we played this first game using just the basic Quick Start rules. We're hoping to learn and do a full game once we get the full N5 rules!

[@PhulPhisk]

It's the other way around: If there's any scenery between any point of the attackers base and the target base, it counts as cover. The target still needs to be in contact with the scenery.

[@fredericororiz6500]

Thanks for the different games, I always love to see them and learn new systems. You guys are great and have one of the best tabletop content out there. Keep up the great work, and please play more of this!

[@CNile485]

Awesome stuff. Infinity is amazing. Love the production

[@KRdHaene]

One big thing to remember about Infinity coming from 40K: No pre-measuring! It's a tough one to stop doing.

[@MubinTalati]

Oh, I totally didn't realize that was a thing! Good thing to remember for future games!

[@KRdHaene]

Going to keep adding little things; you also ARO against any point in the movement of a trooper. You can shoot a trooper before it gets the cover bonus at the end of the movement.

[@ONIMOT100]

Ngl, I don't get the 'no pre-measuring' rule. I fail to see what it adds outside of a lot of 'feels bad' moments, gonna prolly houserule it away in my games

[@KRdHaene]

@ONIMOT100 I believe it is mostly for time management. If I move here am I in this range of this model, and that model, LoC of that model on the way? That was one hypothetical order, what if I did that order and ordered that model again? Adds a bit of skill expression and risk as well.

[@ONIMOT100]

@@KRdHaene Ehhhhh It promotes people finding cheesy ways to pre-measure using terrain or their palms or something like that. Nothing really 'skillful' about that, just memorization of what a given range looks like(?) 😕 And the 'risk' it adds is mostly 'feels bad' mistakes cuz 'oops you failed to guess what the optimal range is, better luck next time'

My favorite miniature game! So stoked to see it on your channel

[@Gribardson]

Love to see you guys enjoying N5, hope to see so much more. Infinity is my favorite minis game.

[@reecedignan8365]

Hey awesome to see you guys playing this. Hopefully we’ll see even more out of you two as you pull more minis in and more tiles too. Just one little thing to note with ARO’s they can be taken at anytime during the enemies action. Meaning if you declare a shoot action you don’t take it at the point the enemy models ends moving but at any point between. As such, if your minis can see one of the enemy models out of cover at any point with AO on that point, you can ping for that spot to shoot them. This is what makes AROs such a fun and strong thing in infinity and an especially tactical thing too. As while you can just act with single models, sometimes it’s good when you know AOR lines are down to shift certain models into certain lines to help block them/keep them suppressed. Good examples are if you have a sniper, you don’t need to use that sniper to pick off targets during your turn, but an effective strategy is to place them in a good sight position that covers multiple movement lines and has good ARO access, which means while they don’t shoot in your turn, they become an amazing asset of denial for enemy players.

[@GlassHalfDead]

You love to see it. Looking forward to N5!

[@Blaowser]

Niiiice! Really hope you guys play the game. You can do a ton with scenery and terrain. Also the moment to moment action will be really very exciting with you guys in front of the camera

[@toportime]

[@OldManRogers]

Infinity is deep but the math/basic systems are pretty simple. Hope to see more in future!

[@ClockR]

Finally! My favorite game! I need more!

[@PlayOnTabletop]

We hope to play more!

[@Dataraptor-v9l]

13:52 This is one of my most favourite things about Infinity. The focus on where the real action is. It feels like the camera in a movie switches to that one model and follows it. As opposed to other games, where you "mandatorily" have to move with units that are irrelevant to where the main action is happening at that point.

[@ElijahAtchley]

This was awesome! Would love to see you guys play more starter sets from other tabletop wargames.

[@RatoInsano]

One very interesting thing about Infinity that is very unique is that in other games (RPGs or Wargames) you either want to roll high or roll low, but in Infinity you want to roll medium.

[@justinsinke2088]

The Price is Right comparison is apt, as the system rewards the player with the better odds in that if both players succeed in a contested action, the player with the higher success breaks the "tie". At least as far as with what's shown.

[@DPSAX95]

Would like to see more of this!

[@TrueXyrael]

Woo, Infinity!! Haven't watched the video yet but I can immediately say I think the table might be terrain light... well let's see how this plays out. As an aside, in a desert, I think it'd be cool to add some chaparral bushes and work with vegetated landcover and not just buildings~

[@TrueXyrael]

Models having firing lanes across the board, mm. Also, can't you ARO at any point during your opponents move; for example, when the JSA trooper goes from cover to cover, as they turn the corner they are exposed, can't you declare BS Attack then and deny them cover? Is that different in N5?

[@MubinTalati]

@@TrueXyrael That's very possible, we were however just playing with the simplified Quick Start rules and following that. There's a very good possibility that in the full rule set that still exists!

[@SkunkLifeMedia]

I started to get into Infinity years upon years upon years ago, but had no one local to play with on a regular basis, which sucked as I liked the concept and factions and such at the time. But Warhammer 40k is a regular thing at a shop around the corner from me, so thats what I am going to jump in.

[@justicedragon7856]

MEZA WANT MORE PLEASE! Love this game and want more eye balls on it.

[@etherd]

Sweet I always wanted to see more of this game ever since I started warhams n 5th edition.

[@tyvb]

Hooray! Time to be that guy: Incorrect rules: 1.) 10:10 Successes (a 3 on BS [shoot] vs a 3 on PH [dodge]). Because both rolls are equal, they cancel out resulting in both actions cancelling each other out. No hit is taken, and no dodge is completed. 2.) 11:51 Senku trooper not in cover, additionally the Senku can be shot at any point along the path of movement it takes (Additionally the move backwards) In order to gain cover you must be partially obscured by the terrain piece that the trooper is touching. From this angle, there is no part of the silhouette that is obscured by (or is touching) the foot of the small building. So, no -3bs and +3ps. There were likely more, but I'm getting dragged away. Ta-ta for now! Post below more learning mistakes below!

[@rizzk250f]

Wow, keep more coming!

[@rundmk00]

nice work editing

[@thezoidforge9211]

Unless they’ve changed this for N5, your shots for and against you are always taken at a part of a movement where it most benefits the shooter. So if you move into cover, the ARO would be taken against your trooper while they’re out in the open, unless the ARO trooper can only see them once they’re already in cover

[@Beowulf316]
