Let's Play! Ep 16 - Infinity: Operation Red Veil - Part 1

It's a whole new Two-Player Starter set for Infinity N3.
This is the most requested Let's Play! that I've received, so here it finally is, coinciding with a brand new release at Gencon: Operation Red Veil.
Owen captains the Haqqislam incursion force while I take command of the Yu Jing security forces defending the Neon Lotus Orbital station.
Parts 4 and 5 will be out next week!

[@Wildonion1]

I think the best part of Lo Pan's Noodle Hut is not just that it references Big Trouble in Little China, but also James Hong's role in Kung Fu Panda. Awesome piece of terrain!

[@dreadknot69]

"First thing he's going to do when using a BS attack..." That's the description of every single attack against me in any game, period.

[@badje5u5]

I’m on the cusp of getting back into table top gaming but have been going round in circles as to which game to start collecting and playing. Your video just sealed the win for Infinity! I can’t wait to go and purchase this. Fantastic video. Time to forward it to my friends and convince them to join :)

[@ArchangelMiniatureGaming]

Oh man. the noodle but is a magical double reference. because James Hong played lo pan... and also po's dad in kung fu panda. I just had the noodle dream.

[@flipmoviemaker]

I just picked up Operation Red Veil yesterday; thanks for the video!

[@otismilo1qaz]

Great video. Thanks guys!

[@SergeyBel]

very good for the beginning player :) would love to see more of this explanation stuff videos

[@gunslinger1911a1]

Lo Pan's noodles: All green eyed females, get a 50% discount! Love it Ash, can't wait to see more.

[@djason_music]

I love the story of the Al Fasid. Although even better on BoW I believe Carlos says it's a Porta Potty. Which is hilarious.

[@08vinster]

thanks for this!

[@znachwd2015]

Love it.

[@MansMan42069]

I always chuckle when Haqqislam is pronounced "Hackey Slam".

[@mrdwhitey4737]

Oh excellent

[@derekgehring2771]

Hey ash great video as per usual. How did you paint your yu jing? They look great

[@chrisessick7192]

I really want this now... just to go with my operation icestorm.

[@SergeyBel]

would be awesome if you could make beginner to intermidiate videos covering the rules and deeper rules like suppresive fire and hacking and intuitive attack etc and explaining all stuff with miniatures like in a short scenario

[@whilehobbying5514]

Time for a remainder of the game, so I can get into Wotan! Not played since the last campaign!

[@mosesgonzalez2248]

Pretty sure he doesn't get cover for that peak. The attack would happen at the time of the peak where he's out of cover.

[@danieltoone9219]

Great Video. I have to point out that you counted cover wrong at 18:20. Because you were in base contact with the terrain that would be considered cover in between you and him. It would count as cover.

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

Cover must obscure at least 1/3 of a models silhouette for them to gain Partial cover. In this case, the Zhanshi was more than 2/3s exposed, so received no Partial Cover benefit.

[@danieltoone9219]

It's probably just the camera angle but from what I saw it looked like the base was at least 1/3 behind cover which is what you use to consider cover in that scenario. Good game, thanks for the play through

[@lcduncan92]

What are the odds that you will do a Let's Play! with Arena Rex? I seem to remember you may have talked about it earlier but it'd cool to see that on your channel and once played, hear what you think of it! Thanks!

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

If I owned it, I'd certainly give it a go. :)

[@jchammer1690]

Are those stickers on the bases.? If so what brand are they?

[@gurtana]

Great intro video! Clarification please: Make the hard punch tokens more robust with what?

[@NeonCat69]

Bottle Cap Stickers, 1 inch diameter clear epoxy disks with an adhesive on one side. They are pretty great for adding more durability to Board-/Wargame Tokens.

[@gurtana]

Thanks guys - I always wondered how I could convert those chits to the ones I always see in Battle Reps. I know Micro Arts Studio do the tokens + epoxy to buy as complete products, but I find them on the expensive side. Whereas, if I would print off my own tokens and then use the epoxy domes I'd be able to do it cheaper I hope.

[@tearlesstrel]

Question about the 'pop in, pop out' maneuver at 30:54. Why would the opposing player take the ARO shot if they're at a dice disadvantage and the other model isn't shooting at them in the first place? Or is it just an understanding between these two guys that when you do that maneuver, the attacker is taking a shot as their second short skill?

[@troybarrow8810]

Paul Baluk in that situation your options are shoot or dodge. Either way you're at dice disadvantage. So you might as well attempt to kill them

[@michaelgrey1351]

Cannot unsee the popcorn on the roofs. Great vid as usual, Ash Any intentions for a Guildball Let's Play?

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

Didn't I already do one?

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

[@michaelgrey1351]

Well there you go! I must only use this power for good.....

[@frenzymodexd]

How does the pop out of cover and pop back in yield a shot from the Active player? I thought one must move, then shoot in a move + shoot order which gives no time to hide back tau jumpjet style?

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

MagicalMode All actions in an order are considered simultaneous, so even when you declare the BS Attack second (which you always do) you may perform it at any stage along a Move short skill, during which the active model has a 360* field of fire. The reactive models may always perform their ARO at any stage in the active models order as well, so they can always return fire at the point when they can see him.

[@frenzymodexd]

Thanks! Watching your videos on Infinity to learn the game, I usually play Warmachine.

[@ronraducanu9633]

Love these vids!! I wish you would talk more slowly, though. I hear a lot of mumbling. I'm a total newb and learning the game, so it's hard to make out what you're saying a good bit of the time. Slowing down a bit would help tremendously! Thanks for some great vids!

[@kaibe5241]

He doesn't mumble at all, probably just his accent :P

[@erschamp]

I can't remember the last time Ash played Owen in Infinity and Owen didn't just crit half of his rolls

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

Whenever I play on his channel it reversed and I Crit him to death usually lol

[@donpe8983]

Great vid - thanks again :) Question to everyone - if you shoot and have 3 hits, let's say 8,9 and 10 and the oponent roles an 11 (success). Does this cancel 1 hit or all because of it's height? Thanks dudes :) - and yes, I pre-ordered :)

[@donpe8983]

Re-watched it - Found the/an answer at 18:38 - Thanks again :)

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

I'm interested in getting this game. I like the models and it seams fun. But 3 tutorial missions and just 2 actual missions... Is this like Age of Sigmar where they sell books with the scenarios? Tokens and building looks like thin paper... I guess that's ok when the models alone are worth more than the whole set.

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

Cesar Perez All the rulebook are free on their website. This box is a learn to play guide.

[@Scubasgamecorner]

Infinity is an awesome game but I was wondering if there is an Osprey game that would sort of scratch that sci-fi itch? Or another good Sci-fi skirmish game?

[@Sosspirate1]

question do you get a aro as the reactive player at the end of the second short skill

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

You do if it is the skill that provokes the ARO.

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

+Guerrilla Miniature Games (Ash Barker) which is to say if you DO not have ARO at the first short skill

[@Sosspirate1]

lets say I cant see them after the first short skill and then at the end of the second I can will I be able to get the ARO

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

+Matt hughes you got it

[@Sosspirate1]

Awesome thank you for clearing that up

[@TrueXyrael]

At 35:20 why did the Zuyong die to a single shotgun blast when he has 2 wounds?

[@manusatra6344]

It's been a Crit and a Hit.

[@adzipl5308]

48:20 *beep* he shouldn't be able to react! He didn't see it coming! unless the rules for that 3rd edition starter didn't include this rule yet.

[@jasonn6306]

This is an old video, but I'm fairly certain the way you resolved the "hop out, hop back, and still declare a BS attack" and the ARO is incorrect.

[@johnnythedamned]

How did you get those folded maps to sit so flat?

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

Just left them out overnight. I also hit them with a shot of Testor's Dullcote to take the glare off them. :)

[@GoldenKaos]

23:50 - shouldn’t he have had two AROs there? One for the short movement skill then one for the action?

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

One order ever provides a single ARO for each enemy model in LoF

[@manusatra6344]

Yo Ash the second Game didn't end 6 - nothing for Owen...It's 10 - nothing, you forgot the secondary objectives... Just trying to haunt you a bit! ^^ EDIT: But Ah, screw it, you noticed... ;-)

[@AegnorCZ]

Its just one book and ruler? That would kinda suck if I woud like to buy it with my friend and split the content...

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

The book is just a QuickStart. The full rules are free online

[@AegnorCZ]

Yeah I know there are online, but the problem is that we both prefer printed version. Guess we will hate to play for it!

[@ondrejjanosik5114]

The rules in the starter are superficial and made simple to made learning easier. The actual rules are online or bought separately. So the booklet is useful only for the first few learning games anyway.

[@nicktoyo]

How in the hell did you get a red veil set?

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

I'm a Warcor.

[@nicktoyo]

+Guerrilla Miniature Games (Ash Barker) ooooooooh. Can you do a working with pewter video? I'm having a grand old time making my infinity models pretty. thanks for the great content ash!

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

I don't usually do modelling videos, but I'm sure a quick youtube search will find you what you need!

[@HistoricalConflict]

are the mini's plastic or metal? their miniatures have always sucked. if they were plastic I would consider

[@jasonprice9823]

Don't understand the constant shooting back and forth without using an action.. doesnt help with how fast you guys roll and then immediately pick up the dice.

[@bradandrews777]

Was this so one-sided because he won the initiative role? That seems to really unbalance the game, with him rolling 3 dice to your 1 most of the time. That doesn't seem like it would be very fun for the Yu Jing player, or whoever lost the initiative roll.

[@GoldenKaos]

Whoever wins initiative gets to EITHER pick who goes first OR pick which side they’re deploying. The Haqq player won mostly because this is a fairly small map and they managed to close the distance fairly quick to use their shotguns at the ideal range. The Yu Jing player also forgot to ARO at least once, so of course he loses if he doesn’t take his opportunities to attack.
