The Infinity Academy - 3. Setting up a table, basics to tournaments

[@thorwald2005]

You actually found a underlit aspect of the game and made a very clear video on it! Love those MAS sets!

[@thedicegodswg]

Thanks, it's one of those things that is so key to a successful game and dealt with so wildly differently. Considering doing a video on planning your first table too. They are lovely!

[@Towndusk]

Very useful, it was pretty hard to find information about infinity online, what an awful name for a game so niche😆Your review video was what got me in, I'm sure sure I'll consume all of your Infinity videos! Thanks for you work, they give me a solid point of view :)

[@thedicegodswg]

That's really great to hear and exactly why we do this! Welcome to the game and the channel.

[@OldManRogers]

Awesome - highlighting a VERY important part of what makes Infin enjoyable 🙂

[@thedicegodswg]

Thanks for your support, as ever! Appreciate it.

[@mattcappelli5822]

Very helpful video. Thank you for this. It’s an astounding amount of terrain needed. looking forward to more of these academy videos, especially for beginners.

[@thedicegodswg]

It's pretty intense, but you can use less as long as you keep in mind the golden rules. Plenty more coming, next up we move on into the first games...

[@mattcappelli5822]

@@thedicegodswg I’ll make sure to save this video to refer back to once I get my Blackwind set. What brand of terrain did you use outside of the CB terrain? Was it micro art that you did the review on the cargo containers?

[@PapaWargamer]

Lot of nice explanation. Don't agree with everything and both tables look very dense to pour standards. But very nice video ans explanation. Thanks for sharing this. 👍

[@thedicegodswg]

Ah the joy of table setup. Some tables are lighter, others more dense, these still have plenty of lines of fire. But, as we say at the start, it's all subjective. Do you links to any of yours? Always good to see and get inspiration! Thanks for watching.

[@PapaWargamer]

@@thedicegodswg for sure. Here at 1.10 tables from one of our local tournament. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoPaeIGFh9usl9k You also have some infinity battrep on my Channel. You can check the kind of table we do.

[@janofe2232]

This was a superb video, very engaging and informative. Have enjoyed watching your channel grow and the production quality of this video was very very good. Could I ask you where the cardboard containers holding up the sign at 22:08 are from? They look great.

[@thedicegodswg]

Thanks a lot for the continued support, glad to have you here and that our hard work shows. Those are from an old infinity card set, maybe icestorm, one of the old ones!

[@waardlafrance110]

😎 good stuff, congrat.

[@thedicegodswg]

Thanks.

[@guillaumeg8561]

Thanks for the video, did you only use one sygma bundle from micro arts for your table at 20th minute? Or is there more than one bundle?

[@thedicegodswg]

Only one, it's an impressive set. Though I would recommend an extra set of crates and boxes to give more smaller scatter type terrain

[@guillaumeg8561]

@@thedicegodswg whaaaat? Only one set and you have all this indépendants walls and scatter terrain?

[@thedicegodswg]

Ah sorry. There are some boxes from Infinity starter set terrain sets, and some of the mdf trash bins from Micro Art Studio in there too. Most of that, 85%?, is the MAS bundle.

[@guillaumeg8561]

@@thedicegodswg great thank you

[@squadof5]

👍👍 Enjoying this series! Are there any resources where people post table layouts / pics? Have seen some amazing boards on Instagram, but thinking it may be good to have somewhere that beginners can reference quick layout examples.

[@thedicegodswg]

That is a genius idea. Shall put it into the mix for our website. Maybe a resource of different styles and environments would be good?

[@squadof5]

@@thedicegodswg :-) Awesome, thanks!

[@hightde13]

How do you like the Warzone mats? Which material do you pefer?

[@thedicegodswg]

We've not been hands on with the Warzone mats at all, so can't really save, to be honest. If we do get our paws on them, we will do a review and let you know though.

[@HistoricalConflict]

Where did you get that mat?

[@thedicegodswg]

Micro Art Studio, highly recommended.

[@chrisamanda8598]

Were do u get the colored terrain from?

[@thedicegodswg]

Micro Art Studios

[@donteatafter1787]

that's why the tables are fortunately not the same. I think these tables are bad because they are loaded with terrain on every millimeter. wherever you drag the miniature, your hand will touch the terrain. not to mention you need 50 orders to reach half the table. he says at the beginning that a bottleneck is not recommended, but on his tables every corner is a bottleneck. everyone has their own view of the table and I'm glad about that. where I play, tables like this are avoided, especially asymmetrical tables or mirrored tables. personally, this is a disaster from the table. no offense.

[@thedicegodswg]

First, thanks for the comment and no offense taken; these are wargaming tables, no offense could be taken. I'd really love to see what you play on, could you send a picture of a table you play on to us on Twitter? Interestingly, these tables play well, nice firelanes, tactical options and you you can get to the mid-line from deployment in two orders, not 50 ;). And if you're touching terrain with your hand... how big are your hands?!! Anyway, would love to see what you play on. :) Have a great day.
