Passing Time and Rolling Dice

We're back with yet another rousing game of Infinity N4! This time I was playing against my buddy Carlonius, our resident Military Orders and USARF player in our local gaming group. That said, he brought something I was not really expecting: Foreign Company! He did mention later on that the main reason he brought them was because he commissioned me to paint the Soldiers of Fortune box for him at the beginning of the year, and I don't know if they'd even seen the table since delivering them. Instead of bringing the Merovingians back out, I am going to let them sit for a while and I broke out my trusty Kosmoflot. Ghost00 mentioned my inclusion of a Volkolak missile team (as you will see below) was likely because of me having to fight off his Riot GRRL pure core with a missile launcher last week. He is not totally wrong, but a Volk Missile Pure Core is relatively cheap to pull off, and it's a safety net I like to use. The game we played was Infinity ITS 16 Frontline at 300...

  ###Prologue### It's been a few days since the completion of Operation Patchwork.

He also sent the letter he'd  been keeping in his desk to command. Official Request for Retirement to be reviewed after this crisis has been deemed concluded. He's hopeful, but he st...

  His time away was very much needed. Colonel Kraznitsky was finally able to get to his home on Concilium Prima to see his wife and newborn sons. Although he would only be home temporarily, he made the best of it. "Do you really have to go back there? It's in the middle of nowhere, right next to Helheim? Is it really THAT important" said his wife. She wanted him to stay. He'd been deployed to the Okolnir area for various missions for the past 6 months, and she wanted him home. "Unfortunately dear, I must. It may not be mentioned here, but it's chaos out there. Our people in Okolnir need our aid. We can't just sit here and let our people get abused and mistreated in Okolnir; or at least that's what the current narrative is. I don't want to go back there. I want to go back to Dawn.
