Genuine and many thanks for this video, you probably thought it was a short "throw away" subject, but as we're still learning, I couldn't see why anyone wouldn't just ARO shoot as the attacker moved in. Never dawned on us that it was a F2F roll as it can happen at any point of movement. Simple thing that makes all the difference. Thank you, keep it up!

You’re so welcome, I’m glad it helped 👊

[@arrik1]

Another solid production. Your graphics get better and better.

[@the_infinitygamer]

Thanks so much!! Still looking to unlock some more potential but really appreciate your encouragement.

[@dimitrijleitenberger2668]

thank you for these videos. I am just starting this game and it really helps.

[@the_infinitygamer]

So glad to hear they’re helping you get into the game!

Codeone rule book, page 49: "Any Trooper in Silhouette contact with an Allied Model that is in the Engaged State may only declare CC Attack, Dodge or other related Skills that may be used in CC" So IF! the first movement skill gets you into the Silhouette contact, you can´t ARO whit shooting. As you first move the mode, and then oponet declasers ARO´s but he is allready in CC. Also Codeone rulebook, page 64: "In ARO, if the Active Trooper is inside ZoC and outside LoF, the Reactive Trooper’s Roll suffers a -3 PH MOD" and when you in Silhouette contact you only have LoF to Silhouette contact. So you will always have -3 to try ARO dodge from ZoC movement. Otherwise solid video. Subed.

Great comments Herra! I fully agree with your second point and I’ll try and mention that in future videos as it’s very good for people to know. I’m hoping someone else can weigh in on the first point as I’m not sure about the resolution of this. My understanding is that even though the declaration of the second short skill and ARO comes after the first short skill that BS would still be a valid option as you declare as though you’re resolving at any point of the movement. So even though you end in an engaged state you can elect to be shooting at the start of your movement - before you are engaged. Again, hoping someone with more experience can maybe help 😃

[@michaelbarclay1496]

@@the_infinitygamer Page 50 in the CodeOne Rulebook seems to suggest that you are correct Infinity Gamer. The Yu Jing player declares a move and then the PanO player declares a BS attack. As in your example in the video it's a CC attack vs a BS attack.

[@the_infinitygamer]

That’s good! Thanks for confirming.

"Are there any other rules... that you need to know about? Many!" Infinity in a nutshell.

[@the_infinitygamer]

So true but definitely not as bad in N4 as it was in N3.

You all prolly dont care but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost my login password. I appreciate any help you can give me

[@filmerluke9413]

Great video! Me and my girlfriend were having some issues with close combat this weekend and you’ve cleared it right up!

[@the_infinitygamer]

So glad it helped! The advanced demo dropping next week might help with some of the more complex stuff too.

[@arrik1]

@@the_infinitygamer Next _week_?!? *swooooon*

[@the_infinitygamer]

I'd try for sooner but that ruddy thing called life keeps getting in the way 😂

[@Isaac-hm6ih]

7:57 Ah, ok, C1 doesn't have a Change facing ARO so you can get dodge movement from zone of control AROs. When you mentioned that I was certain you must be wrong, but you seem to be correct. Good catch.

[@the_infinitygamer]

We chatted about it in our group but it’s quite a change from N3!

[@astreick]

@@the_infinitygamer Fantastic change! They took 3 rules and made 1! That is the kind of cleanup that infinity really needs.

[@the_infinitygamer]

100% agree. So much easier to remember and just as useful no matter the situation!

[@Scubasgamecorner]

Can you still have an ARO as someone is moving into close combat?

[@the_infinitygamer]

Hopefully you've found your answer :D

[@Scubasgamecorner]

If i was moving my troop with the intent of CC but my opponent decides to ARO shoot do i have to use my CC vs his ARO or could i shoot if I wanted? in your example he used CC but was this because the ARO player waited til the end of the active players move to do this? sorry I got a little confused with what decision I could make in this situation

[@the_infinitygamer]

Can't quite figure out the order of your comments as I'm on the app but yes, if you're moving into a model with the intent of CC and your opponent ARO shoot you can shoot as your second short skill. The order (in simplified terms) is always: spend order, declare first short skill, declare any AROs, declare second short skill then resolve. You move into silhouette contact with your first short skill, they declare shoot ARO. You can then choose any valid second short skill. You could dodge, cc attack or shoot...the good thing about being the active player is that you can wait until your enemy's ARO to decide what you do.

[@Scubasgamecorner]

Infinity Gamer ok thanks , that makes sense now 👍🏼

[@the_infinitygamer]

Always happy to help. And if I’m wrong someone smarter will be by in a moment.

[@arrik1]

@@the_infinitygamer Looks good. You can shoot from any point in your movement, so you just choose to shoot before base contact as your second short skill. THEN it resolves.

[@the_infinitygamer]

Told you someone more knowledgeable would be along 😜 I think everyone gets confused because it’s done in stages so it’s logical for it to resolve in the same way. Leave your logic at the door!

[@Scubasgamecorner]

nevermind i just saw where i missed it.... :)

[@the_infinitygamer]

It's easy to miss ;)
