Passing Time and Rolling Dice

 It sure has been a while since I've had a blog post hasnt it? Something like 4 months or so? Welp, I am back for a short little while where I can sort of catch my breath. The last few months have just been a wild ride, and im sure the future will just get a bit more crazy. I have 6 more battle reports lined up that need done (just need to get pictures added in). That number SHOULD be higher, but I havent been playing much of anything since PAX Prime concluded in February. There's also an Infinity ITS recap I need to do for the 2025 Richmond Open, which should be short if you know how that went. There's also little blog post ideas I have for other games, like Fallout Factions, Quar's War, Burrows and Badgers, and probably something else like Necromunda. Things akin to a "my review" of them, hobby posts (whenever that happens) and whatnot. But hey, we're here to talk about a Hobby Time moment I've had, which is really the first significant one of the ye...

Today we have the first game in what I am calling "The Tales of Blue Ridge," which follows the continuing career of Colonel Kraznitsky as he has various encounters on the planet Shinju. This will just be the moniker I call my normal games that don't take place within a narrative or learning series of games of Infinity N5. This game is a pseudo-learning game between myself and a local named Darren. This is one of Darren's mere handful of games that's trying to introduce him to infinity, where I tell him beforehand that I will likely bring up rules and stuff that he hadn't experienced prior, as his prior experience to this point was also running through the "operation" style games like Operation Bone-Rustler Part 1 , Part 2 , and Part 3 . Big things we touch on here is fireteams. Darren did not want to use fireteams himself, but I was determined to introduce this key part of the game, since even now there are more than just Fireteam Duo's within th...

On February 22nd, myself and 18 other Infinity players in the local region all converged on the local game store around me to attend our first ever home-grown ITS tournament, known as the Patuxent Prime! This is the first of hopefully many local ITS events that we host down this way. My buddy Ric/Ghost00 was the WarCor organizing the whole affair, which let the player pool be wider than if anyone else locally decided to try and run an event. The mission set for this list was set to actually have players have to think about a mission with objectives that are deeper in thought than "remove enemy units better than they can." The mission set was: Round 1: Unmasking Round 2:  Frostbite Round 3:  Mindwipe In usual fashion, we have prepared 2 lists to use between the missions; to which my lists will be displayed further below, with a little insight on each one. All of these events are using the ITS 16-2 missions here . Below are the tables the we had. We did have a bye-round, where...
