G2 – 4
Ko Dali Another paratrooper, Ko Dali, came down
from the heavens next (with a successful drop) and she
wanted to open up on some of Clay’s Fusiliers but
they reacted to her coming down and shot her dead
like it was the beginning of duck season.
G2 – 5 Tiger Soldier
The Tiger Soldier that came down before Ko Dali took
shots at the Fusiliers that took such joy in plucking her
out of the sky and managed to kill the one carrying the
HMG.
G1 – 1 Guijia
The big robot did a Move/Fire action to get line-of-fire
on one of Clay’s Sierra Dronbots and blazed away at
it. Having the Total Reaction and 360 Vision special
abilities Clay’s small robot was able to fire back with
the full burst from his HMG. Each robot tossed out
four shots.
Player To Hit Roll Rolls Result
Brian 17- 2 4 9 20 One hit
Clay 8- 2 7 19 20 Misses
The single shot that hit the Dronbot was not enough to
take it out as its armor held strong.
Even though Brian had caused another 29 points of casualties
on Clay’s side of the board he also took another 40 himself and
that put him over the 60% casualties that’s needed to force his
remaining troopers from the board. Losing 60% of your troops
results in the rest of your army gaining the Impetuous ability
and forcing them to use it to run towards a friendly table edge,
but it essentially ends the game for them.
Clay’s Post-Game thoughts.
That game was way too short. I think it's the first table top war
game I have ever played where I won after only getting one
turn. Of course the mechanics of the game allow me to score
kills with my AROs almost as well as during my own turn, so
the line between turns is not quite as black and white. Think
about what we did wrong, I think deploying guys all over the
place is a recipe for getting them picked off one by one, which
is what happened on both sides, I just did it more. I think the
way to beat that (and the paratrooper problem) is to have a tight
deployment with lots of weapons pointed at the threat and some
covered the unthreatened approaches. The big TAGs might
think twice about stepping out and picking off a trooper if it had
to face a whole barrage of ARO's rather than just one. Also,
with paratroopers, you always have to watch the areas they can
drop into, because getting them behind you is a killer. seriously.
Brain’s Post-Game thoughts.
Well, that game went fairly badly. With the way I was not
making armor rolls you’d think my guys were not issued body
armor for this outing. Also, Clay was red hot with his dice.
But, I cannot blame all of my loss on luck. In my senility I
forgot to keep back one model for
deployment after all other forces
were out. I also neglected to deploy
my troops with Combat Jump on the
first turn. I need to remind myself
that this was my first experience
with Infinity and I should take this as
a learning opportunity. So, what did
I learn
1. One should not make a model
with Combat Jump a lieutenant.
He has to be deployed on the
table.
2. Take as many heavy weapons as
possible. I should have armed
one of the Tiger Soldiers with a
HMG and the other a Combi
Rifle instead of a Combi Rifle
and Boarding Shotgun.
3. Deploy so that you have models
looking in all directions so your
opponent’s troops with Combat
Jump can’t land without taking
some ARO fire.
4. Learn how to make use of close
combat. At the moment, to me,
this part of the game seems
