Let's Play! - INFINITY: CODE ONE - Operation: Kaldstrøm PART ONE

[@blizzwagz]

I'm glad they are making this game a bit easier. Jumping into infinity has proven difficult for me, and i love the style of this game. so I'm hoping this will make it easier for my simple mind.

[@MoragTong_]

What I always tell new players is learn YOUR army...you'll find out soon enough what the other guy can do. This cuts the rules/skills you need to know down by a massive margin. The game is actually really easy, it just has a ton a variety. You won't find the difference between armies is just a +1 to some stat...the game is MUCH deeper than that and thus requires a large data set to contain it all.

[@kaibe5241]

@@MoragTong_ You can have depth without requiring an encyclopaedia of rules. Games like Guild Ball are a perfect example of this. Infinity often feels like it was originally designed as a roleplaying game, where that level of game rule knowledge is kinda necessary to ensure character progression and play is kept interesting and non-repetitive.

[@michaelbarclay1496]

I think you made a mistake at around 34:30. The Fusilier was in cover when he shot the Zhanshi but the shooting player can always shoot when it gives them the best modifiers - i.e. though they can shoot the Fusilier as he moves and has zero cover.

[@csudab]

Game starts at 23:40 , thanks for making this (thread resurrect😂) Game 2 35:30 Game 3 52:15

[@eRocSmo]

Great video and intro to Code One, "Gimme that Monk" because Shaolin vs Knight is the deadliest warrior episode we never knew we needed...in space

[@Revenant77x]

Gimme dat Monk. This has quickly become one of my favorite channels in youtube. Keep on keeping on.

[@neilmerrifield2281]

Liking the slimmed down rules for Code One and great video. I've been meaning to get into Infinity for some time now, awesome minis and great setting. I backed the Defiance kickstarter and went all in (inc. the reinforcements boxes) as a first step and now with Code One I can ease into the full game more. Great vid. Stay safe and keep em coming Ash. 👍

[@sitrucsimian5450]

Very happy to hear about the simplified rules of code one. Will give my beautiful infinity models a new lease on life.

[@havlokthedaneoftoxictv7982]

Excited to start playing Infinity Code One! Thanks for the video.

[@brentrobertson1807]

Love that CB is doing more to get new players in. This should help getting my wife to play. Thanks for doing this!...also...Gimme that monk!

[@Hey_Its_MrSteve]

Gimme that monk! I'm just getting into Infinity, and can't wait for my Kaldstrom box to arrive. Keep the CodeOne content coming!

[@jaredstaub931]

Gimme that monk! I love infinity and I'm very excited for the new stuff coming. Thanks for the video Ash!

[@ChrisDaRed0709]

Give me that monk! Good video. Keep the Infinity content coming.

[@westtexasgamer114]

Bequeath unto me thine monk. Thanks for the hard work during this pandemic situation for us people stuck at home.

[@grantg9384]

Great vid, looking forward to more Code One content. Diving into infinity this year, love the direction they are taking it. Gimme dat monk!

[@MentatOfDune]

This seems to be the exact boxset I've been looking for. Loved the idea of Infinity but knew I'd never get it to the table. This streamlined (easier) version looks just about right for me. And the minis this company puts out are amazing.

[@nlnrose]

Dude! Thanks!! You were my first infinity battle report. I'm super excited for when my Kaldstrom box arrives. I also ordered JSA because they look amazing!! I can't wait to play with Batou and the major as substitute models for Kaldstrom characters. I'd love that monk too.

[@stevendouglas335]

Great painting, look forward to seeing them on the paint table episode. So good to see code one getting played. Would love to get my hands on the monk.

[@milesturner9589]

Gimme that monk! Always wanted to try Infinity and this looks like a great buy. Thanks to Ash for great content as always.

[@orssondorfman]

Love it! Hope that this intro ruleset is what can finally convince some friends to give Infinity a try. Oh yeah...gimme that monk!

[@JumpFox2]

Give me that Monk! I have never played Infinity and always wanted to try it, but I love watching you play!

[@marjetkarampih9269]

Gimme that monk! Thanks for the videos! Your fast computation skills are out of this world :D:D

[@Syzl103]

Gimme dat monk! Great video as always! Tried getting into infinity almost a year ago! Got put off with the cost and the rules being so in-depth

[@markxivlxii1390]

Just got my first Infinity game (Kaldstrøm) yesterday and I hope to get the kids into it. That monk looks awesome, Gimme that monk!

[@markxivlxii1390]

So far I have tried to get the kids into Imperial Assault to no avail; hopefully Infinity and/or Warcry will grab their imagination. Both games seem much more accessible for them than SW Imperial Assault.

[@Hundmathr]

This does look like a less daunting way into Infinity, thank you.

[@richardeast8850]

Gimme that monk Ash! Ordered the box set half way through, watched loads of your infinity videos and think this will be a perfect way to get into it

[@kennethheffley1957]

Ash I watched your 3 mission tutorial on this boxed set and ordered it the next week have yet to assemble and paint but you helped me a lot learning rules as I have never played this mechanic many thanks!!! Love your vids will support in future for sure!!! Need to order the ninja!!!

[@conorahern5744]

Being a new player, the code one pack and rules has been great! The mountain of rules in n3 was very daunting.

[@DeppyDolls]

Acid Burn was the name of Angelina Jollie in the movie hackers. She and Zero Cool were hacking each other at the beginning of the movie. Serial Killer was my favorite too!

[@grixloth]

I have liked and Subbed! Been catching your videos randomly over the last few weeks and they are great! I tried to play the OG Infinity and it was too complicated but the models were beautiful! This video has made me want to re-try with Code One. Please gimme that monk! :)

[@TheShamanKnight]

Gimme that MonK! Actually liked the gameplay and loved the models. Liked the sublime way they added the symbols of the groups which on one reminds us of the Knights Templar. Corvelli and team always make it worthwhile the products they have and YOU sir keep with those videos you make. Stay Safe!

[@luisandres2991]

Gimme that monk!!! Love the new Yu Jing profiles, those are some great miniatures :)

[@Jathom]

Around 27:30 there seems to have been an error in the encoding of the video as the audio stops and it just says Missing File on a red background. Don't know it if was somehow just me, or what, but it seems like something you'd want to be made aware of.

[@DavidDaisyGuest]

“Gimme that monk” ❤️ looks like a nice step into infinity it’s always a game that looked like a steep learning curve.

[@Rackhamish]

If the contest is still running, give me that monk? Awesome breakdown of the game and missions, really hoping to hop back into Infinity with this version/variant.

[@battlemind]

Great video Ash! N3 was a bit much for me - but I have Code One on pre-order. Thanks for posting this.

[@battlemind]

Oh ya - would love that Monk!

[@kevanw8802]

Gimme that Monk! New to looking at the Infinity games, but I am intrigued by it and will delve deeper.

[@samparkinson3236]

Gimmee that monk! Been wondering whether or not to take the plunge on Infinity for ages, but I love the winter-warfare aesthetic of these minis so much, looks like now's the time!

[@kentonsheppard1559]

Gimme that Monk! Please. Great vid as always, nice to see that other people have to double take when working out face to face rolls . . . Great mechanic but it messes with my head sometimes.

[@Gorkasminiaturepainting]

I would love to get my hands on that monk. Great video as always

[@CBRN-115]

I wish the Infinity was more popular. I really love the lore of this amazing tabletop game

[@tyrannosaurus696]

Gimme that monk!!! Love the cardstock terrain in there, no more glueing the cardboard boxes into the flimsy Icestorm terrain :P

[@themoaningwhale963]

There's a section of the video missing at 27:30 I think. Also super great rules summery thank you!

[@PaulHurd]

Thanks for the rundown of the first few missions of Code One. I like chances of winning stuff so give me that monk haha.

[@corvusferox2869]

Gimme that monk! Oh.. and very nice covering of the new set^^ i am waiting a bit befor grabbing just for the Nøcken-miniature. I love this little bugger

[@MuddyGrotGaming]

Gimme that monk!!! Great video! Still waiting for my copy to arrive 😁

[@JonMendenhall]

Gimme that monk! Thanks for the intro. Really been wanting an excuse to buy the JSA Sectorial army, but can't commit to the full game. Hoping they get included for Code One, eventually.

[@mjinoz1677]

Thanks for another great Let's Play, Ash. Looking forward to the next one and am definitely going to go download this version of the rules now. Feeling inspired to go and paint some my first Infinity figures now (glued together and undercoated for almost a year). Who knows, if you gimme dat monk I might even buy this box set and start a Yu Jing army to use him in! :)

[@johnmcanally6178]

The missing file thing popping up almost made me choke on my hot tea from laughing. EDIT: Also this seems like a great way to get some people I know into Infinity. (And get me back into it.)

[@joewood2939]

Awesome lets play Ash, Gimme that monk! - This will be a great opportunity to try out Infinity for our group.

[@richardTyler92]

at 45:00 or so: why don't all the troops who can see the retreating model at the start of his move get to declare an ARO, only the one who can see him at the end of his move? The rules say to treat them as simultaneous and seem to imply if you can at any point see a model along its designated path you get to make an ARO (top of 23). Trying to wrap my head around whether/how this seems to have changed from the 2 games of n3 I played.

[@starrius]

i really can't wait for my code one box to turn up I am looking forward to trying this, and that monk model looks really cool

[@AdamKlobi]

Gimme that monk! Been waiting for simplified rules to jump in, this is looks awesome. Can't wait for my box to arrive.

[@caseyliston8433]

I'd like to request a monk! In my trend of starting games at edition changes, I decided to buckle down and learn Infinity N3, only to learn that CodeOne and N4 are this year. Preordered Kaldstrom; hopefully it doesn't take too long to arrive!

[@oldman1111]

Infinity the game is one of the two best miniatures games I've played. Dark Age being the other.

[@MarkYale]

Actually, even in the full rule book, there's no Loss of LT in Code One...at least not that I can find. So the LT is much more usable now.

[@JPWestmas]

Loss of luitenant always seemed kind of drastic to me and a huge waste of swc and of a model, especially with Aleph and other high tech armies. On top of it I get attacked often by isolation and immobilize weapons that can shoot through walls quite often as A Zoc weapon. Not bad weapon design but I sometimes question the power level granted to cheap models. :)

[@omarzgdz]

I love that change. Now, my lieutenant is not just hiding in the back, he can lead and rush into the thick of things getting some more utility with that extra order.

[@benfranzen9974]

Excited to see more code one! Gimme that monk!

[@SpenserClark]

Gimme that monk! Thank you for hosting this!

[@alrgabehrigbaeilrbgu]

Gimmie that monk!!! Very excited to give this a try once my own Yu Jing force is up and running.

[@Doomshaper1]

GIMME THAT MONK!!!! Love your videos, keep being awesome Ash.

[@garylee3403]

Gimme that monk! Love that this is less rules heavy than regular Infinity. Sometimes it can be a bit much.

[@Gutock]

Gimme that monk! Not as into sci-fi as fantasy, but this looks slick as heck. Thanks!

[@owlfighter4377]

Gimme that monk! Loving the Code One content.

[@vocenoctum2046]

Code One does still have the "All At Once" rule, so you could move and decide to shoot from (or to for reacting) your starting position or in between anywhere. Not sure the starter set mentions of course, but Code One has it.

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

It isn’t used in the Intro missions, but yes it is in the game. :)

[@piotrbreski9711]

Thank you for great “let’s play”. Im just getting into infinity. Would love that monk ;)

[@smartwood1521]

Gimmie that Monk! This looks dope, I look forward to the next part

[@blargestwhelp9879]

I've been wanting to get into Infinity, but I just kept bouncing off of the rules, may have to check this out, if for no better reason than those minis and that sweet terrain.

[@Saber_Gaming5561]

Gimme that monk! I've been wanting to get into infinity, and this is perfect

[@FairieSword]

Im a bit late to watching but this video is quite helpful in trying to get into infinity. I wanted a change of aesthetic for painting from my usual Gothic Warhammer stuff and so Im getting into Infinity and this is a nice introduction. :)

[@vocenoctum2046]

I know you did a Wildfire assembly video, but you could do a quick assembly video for the Kaldstrom buildings for people and make a lot of folks happy on the facebook group. For Code One, I like to compare it to the old division of red box D&D vs AD&D, but the comparison probably doesn't make sense to many people anymore in a 5th edition D&D world.

[@vocenoctum2046]

The issue with no irregular orders in Code One too, is that you don't get the nice tokens to use with N4 when it releases. So unless the Scenery Expansion (with sniper tower & objective room) comes with some of the odder tokens, it does mean you'll be having different style tokens for the full run.

[@GodOfMoxie555]

Gimme that Monk! Was hoping to be expanding my club's infinity player base before this lockdown, had like 4 players lined up for code one demo games. Glad to see the rules seem to be streamlined in the right place so that hopefully it translates well into N4.

[@ragedrako]

at 45:03 the Jujak moved back and only 1 fusilier got to ARO. In the Code One rulebook (p. 22-23), it says that models can ARO if hostiles activate within line of sight, and that it happens All At Once so can decide at which point it wants to ARO. So shouldn't all 3 fusiliers and the orc have gotten an ARO since the Jujak started its order in line of sight of them all? Or do is the Kaldstrøm quick start missions handle ARO differently than the core Code One rules? BTW, love Code One

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

You’re right, but not in the Demo rules, which is what we’re playing here. Wait until Episode 3 for the full rules. :)

[@ragedrako]

@@GuerrillaMiniatureGames alright so the aro demo rules are indeed handled differently than core, got it :D

[@themoaningwhale963]

Gimme that monk! Also a question about the rules (I've never played infinity) at around 45:30. When the Heavy guy moves on top of the building to only be able to see one of the fusiliers do the other blue troops not get to aro at the beggining of his move? Can you only aro if you can see them at the end of the move?

[@aaronhundt9044]

Gimme that monk! Dodge +X vs. Kinematika Lvl. X, same rule same effect one is just so much easier to remember. Those kinds of changes are ones I love.

[@Gribardson]

I am digging the new rules. One thing that was hard to get people into Infinity was all the rules and nested rules and nested rules in the nested rules. Hoping now I can get some more people into it. Oh and Gimmee that Monk. Was unable to preorder it.

[@grodd1016]

Oh man that looks fun. If you give me that monk I would totally start playing this game.

[@DarkDanegan]

Looks like I might finally be getting into Infinity. Always loved the look of it but seemed a bit impenetrable. This looks ace. Gimme that monk (only if I’m lucky of course!)

[@chrisalcala4733]

Gimmie that Monk! (Said in the most polite way) it would finally pull me in to infinity. Thanks Ash for another great vid!

[@stonewall78]

Gimme dat monk :) I have started up a rather large infinity colection but never really got a full game of N3 in. I think code 1 will be a great way to play as I am use to playing smaller model count games like Malifaux. Looking forward to being able to get some games in when the current health issues are a bit better. In the mean time I can learn and get some stuff painted for a change (though I am still working full time). As a fellow Canadian, stay safe and be careful of the return of the Canadian flying cobra chickens.

[@8BitJesus]

Gimme that monk! But yeh, definitely stoked to give this a try. The new terrain they're including in the starter sets is sweet, a step up from their earlier stuff

[@shadowkynn]

Gimme that monk! Flgs has a few members looking to get into infinity, this might be the perfect thing to tip them over...

[@tonylloyd8133]

Gimme that monk. Got several friends I am hoping that with the rules getting streamlined in CodeOne will finally give this game a go.

[@asowle]

That seems super smooth..........

[@Sparkplug666]

Even in CodeOne you can still move and shoot during the move. At least in the full Rulebook for code one. Maybe not while doing the intro games.

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

The Intro games drop some of the more grainy mechanics for the sake of focusing on the core rules. :)

[@Sparkplug666]

@@GuerrillaMiniatureGames allright I still think they could have streamlined the system even more. Even Code one is still alot for beginners to chew through.

[@pixeltrash5098]

Gimme that monk! Infinity minis always look great when painted up, Code one was also a nice beer-and-chips type of break from n3

[@digitaltrowa]

Gimme that monk! This looks like a way to ease in some folks to infinity.

[@erikb.7085]

Nice "Let's Play" Ash. I'm a big fan of crunchy systems but standard Infinity was a bit much. I'm liking the look of Code One though, seems like a good starting point. And some sweet sweet Wandering Shaolin Monk action would be a great way to start my collection.

[@jeffbryant8441]

Been looking forward to this as an onramp to Infinity - thanks for this video! (Give me that monk!)

[@calebhargus]

Gimme that monk! Great video!

[@dorksama]

I'd love that monk! The base alone looks so amazing to paint. In terms of this game, I wonder if this is a good way to get more in to Infinity? I have had trouble getting started in the past and my "teachers" really steamrolled me, but this seems easy to wrap my head around!

[@chubs3058]

Gimme that monk (hopefully )! Looks great fun to paint! P.s great vid!

[@krobiekong4326]

Thank you for the detailed playthrough! FYI, you have a "Missing File" notice in the video at 27:30.

[@TaleSeeker]

I think I'll finally be able to get into this game, thanks for the vid so Gimme that monk!

[@shinankoku2]

YES!!!!! I’m so stocked for Code One, I’ve read the rules and love them! Hopefully N4 will be built off of these rules (I mean, I’m 100% sure it will be ..)

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

There’s a cool flow chart from CB that shows how they’re planning on using this to ease people Into N4

[@shinankoku2]

Guerrilla Miniature Games - I’m going to look for that chart. I assume it’s on the website? Random thought about new crits - everyone’s excited that their TAGs and HI will be more survivable. Here’s the rub that no ones talking about: shoot two “1”s on your armor saves, and you just lost two wounds ... something that didn’t happen before. Oh, and Gimme That Monk!!

[@deathstrike869]

One monk please! Honestly i expected more simplification of the rules, this seems to be just infinity with few noticeable differences. Maybe that’s because the games of infinity i’ve played have all been beginner focused. Definitely up for giving this a try still though!

[@ChristopherDessens]

Gimme that monk. Have always been infinity curious, this could be the set to get me in.

[@riccardogarzelli]

Yu Qing always shoot out of cover on the knight in mission 3: she is moving towards cover, actions are still symultaneous so one can choose when to shoot

[@thomgizziz]

Yeah he screwed up in the first mission also.

[@Svejir]

8:07 "in super shame because he doesn't exist..." There are no such things as ninjas.

[@nlnrose]

That how good he is he's convinced you he doesn't exist.

[@jimw.5833]

Awesome tutorial. Can't wait until Kaldstrom arrives at the FLAGS. Give me that Monk! please.

[@westtexasgamer114]

That combi was so powerful that it blew up the video clip of the armor save.

[@strider2788]

Been out of the hobby for a couple of years due to the time commitments of having a young family. However with the current lockdown situation I have got the itch to paint some minis again. So... Gimme that monk!!!
