Passing Time and Rolling Dice

This is a cropped image; the full image can be found on the novel "Fifteen Hours" By Michael Scanlon; a phenomenal Imperial Guard novel It has not come up much on this blog, as I mainly post Infinity-related battle reports for the time being, but I have a decent history with what is likely one of the most popular tabletop wargames in the world: Warhammer 40k. Over the years, I participate either as a player, judge, or tournament organizer (T/O) of numerous events in my local county-wide area. Numerous Extra-life Charity Mega-battles, doubles-tournaments, the occasional RTT (in the annuls of yesteryear for those), and a handful of escalation leagues from late 6th edition to the current 10th edition. One of the tournament formats that I truly enjoy running is one I initially threw together as a joke ruleset in 7th Edition, but it has grown over the edition with the rules changes; this tournament is known as Highlander.

Today, we're back with a game of Infinity N5, seeing the first of a series of escalating games between my Ariadna from the Tartary Army Corps versus my buddy Connor, piloting his JSA from Shindenbutai. This game was played on January 4th, 2025.  The escalating series is somewhat similar to the older "Operation X" mission packs, such as within Operation Black-wind, where players can learn to play the game using baby-steps to introduce new rules and units. While Connor has played a handful of games of Infinity, no one actually walked him through an Operations series to learn. Running this series would be helpful for both of us, as Connor learns about the newer rulings for Infinity N5, and I can better understand how some of the new rules interactions will work.  Also, as a note for those who like the Lore aspect of these batreps, this batrep will cover the beginning slight lead-up to Operation Bone-Rustler, with Part 4 holding the results of the operation. ### ### ### Prolo...

We're back for another rousing game of Infinity N5! This game was played on December 31 2024. This game saw me piloting a 300-point Ariadna force hailing from the Tartary Army Corps against my buddy Carlonius and a 300-point PanOceanian force hailing from the Military Orders. This game is played on the the heels of my X-02 battle report here. I changed up a handful of things from that list as I politely asked if we could play another game where I would not have to fight a Seraph. Today's game was played using the N5 Supplies mission. As per usual, I did not take a wild amount of pictures as my lighting situation still is not where I would like it to be, so the pictures look darker than they actually are while I am playing. ### Prologue ### Trying to get the thought of sending the other fireteam into a Seraph, Col Kraznitsky connected to the other surveillance drone that's loitering around a field logistics center a few kilometers away.
