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.

[@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. 👍

[@Revenant77x]

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

[@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.

[@milesturner9589]

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

[@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!

[@JumpFox2]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@westtexasgamer114]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@CBRN-115]

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

[@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!

[@Hundmathr]

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

[@sitrucsimian5450]

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

[@DavidDaisyGuest]

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

[@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

[@conorahern5744]

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

[@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! :)

[@jaredstaub931]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@marjetkarampih9269]

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

[@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!!!

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.)

[@ChrisDaRed0709]

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

[@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!

[@havlokthedaneoftoxictv7982]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@kevanw8802]

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

[@csudab]

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

[@joewood2939]

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

[@AdamKlobi]

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

[@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.

[@oldman1111]

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

[@luisandres2991]

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

[@NefeliDollStudio]

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!

[@Gorkasminiaturepainting]

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

[@tyrannosaurus696]

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

[@Gutock]

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

[@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 😁

[@garylee3403]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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! :)

[@shadowkynn]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@chrisalcala4733]

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

[@ChristopherDessens]

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

[@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. :)

[@alrgabehrigbaeilrbgu]

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

[@grodd1016]

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

[@Saber_Gaming5561]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@gergotothmihaly2307]

Give the monk to someone else :) I've pre-ordered the bundle and should receive it some day. Thanks for the let's play.

[@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.

[@jeffbryant8441]

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

[@digitaltrowa]

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

[@Doomshaper1]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@Nachtpfiffel]

Haven’t seen your videos for a long time, have seen them some time ago nearly every time you postet an Infinity video. Might be my bad memory, but I think you are much thinner than the last time I watched your video. I should lose some pounds (and paint more minis) too-I hope you are fine- love the miniature painting-thanks for the videos!

[@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!)

[@ecko-state]

Gimme that monk! - wanting to get back into Infinity, I am liking this new ruleset.

[@jimw.5833]

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

[@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!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@MiniFights]

Gimme dat Monk! Rad video man, appreciate the info on the new version.

[@themoaningwhale963]

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

[@Condorghost]

Gimme that monk! Just starting to get into Infinity. Split the Operation: Coldfront, which I purchased a long time ago, with a friend to get us started. The terrain included with the Operation Kladstom looks amazing compared to what came in Coldfront. Will definitely have to pick up that terrain to use instead of the card stock boxes.

[@chubs3058]

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

[@westtexasgamer114]

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

[@tpot3679]

Always liked the look of infinity, and a more bite sized version is just what’s needed I think And gimme that monk!

[@benfranzen9974]

Excited to see more code one! Gimme that monk!

[@owlfighter4377]

Gimme that monk! Loving the Code One content.

[@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.

[@SpenserClark]

Gimme that monk! Thank you for hosting this!

[@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. :)

[@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!

[@Keeperoftheimperialsalt]

Hell yes! Give me that funky monk please! I can't wait for this game! preordered it last month and still waiting..

[@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.

[@Phoenikuz]

That name, tho'! It's so weird, as a dane, to see "Ø" used outside of Denmark. I know it isn't supposed to be danish, but the nerd in me want to go "Acktually, it's pronounced koldstrøm" :D Oh, yeah, don't gimme that monk - shipping from Canda to Denmark would be horrendous! Thanks for all your good work through the quarantine Ash!

[@TaleSeeker]

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

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@matthewdoucette1]

Gimme that monk! Guess I'll have to draft some house-rules for my friend's Nomads and Haqq for a few months...
