Passing Time and Rolling Dice

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. From past experience, I figure Carlonius would be playing Military Orders, as his other armies (being Ariadna from USARF and ForCo) are either gone or in a less than enjoyable state to play in. Having listened to the latest Tactical Awareness podcast, I inadvertently got some insight into N5 Military Orders. The Seraph will be a proper monster to fight, the Joan "Pain Train" exists and will be something I may or may encounter here today; and just like my game against JSA recently, it must be nice to be a faction that has access to relative cheap heavy infantry! I'll get into my list later on, but what I will say now is that I am really enjoying using Dynamos for things, whether or not they actual...

 So it's been nearly a full year since my last post on here, and a LOT has changed in life. Between my local game store closing, picking up other games like Bushido from GCT Studios, Half-Tilt from TTCombat, and Fallout Factions and Wasteland Warfare from Modiphius, I have had a load of models to work on and not a lot of time to play games. But onto what this post is about, likely my final game of Infinity N4! I broke out the Ariadnans from the  Merovingian Rapid Response Force for possibly the last time for a while to take on my buddy Ghost00's Nomads from Bakunin. The game was a standard 300 point game using the ITS16 mission for the Direct Action Mission: Battleground ; the rules for that mission can be found here . Unfortunately, I made my list with options for Frontline, cause I forgot what mission we had initially agreed upon! Obvious disclaimer for this battle report is I have not played much infinity beyond a series of demo games since easily April of 2024, so saying I...

  ###Prologue### Col Kraznitsky, walked into the cantina at FOB North Bay, that's to the north of Okolnir. It was lit by aging bulbs, a fire in the hearth, and the lights from cigarettes. The rain had picked up since his team arrived from Okolnir, and the sound of those cold droplets sounded relaxing on the metal roofing top the old domed structure. Kraznitsky remembered seeing this style building in some history books of 20th century conflicts, but didn't realize he may end up in something similar to it.  He saw the person he was going to meeting off on the side next to an open window the opened to an overhang, a nice cold breeze when the rain can't get in, or at least not as much when the wind picked up. This was Col Gretizky, the officer in charge of the launch site relating to Operation Slingshot. "Looks like you've seen better days ol friend" Kraznitsky said as he walked up. "Need anything before we get started?" Col Gretizky took a drag on his ...
