The Plan 

I have a bunch of Battletech figures, I just need to paint and play the game! I will certainly add it to the big list of war games, it looks fun, and the lore is awesome

​@SamsSideshow The company and community is somehow worse than GW but the game itself is awesome

Thanks! I did a quick search on Corvus Belli, and it seems like all their models are metal. That is awesome, metal models have a ton of character. I shall add it to the list!

@@SamsSideshow In recent years they have released *some* models in plastic, but the vast majority of their work is done in metal yes :)

Gotcha gotcha! I shall look into it!

A friend of mine has that! I’ll have to ask him to have a game with me

That’s a pretty awesome rule! Anything with interactivity while it’s not your turn is very good! Also, I adore metal models! You are the second person to recommend Infinity… Do you know if the starter set is any good?

@@SamsSideshow it’s a fantastic deal for the price. It gets you a playable group of two factions, most of the tokens you will need, and terrain!!! If you need the box to learn I’d say go for it! BUT, Infinity has two major rule sets. Code one and N4. Code one is a simplified version of the game for beginners or for players who feel like playing a faster leaner game. Though generally models in code one can be used in N4 but some models in N4 can’t be used in code one. The beginner set is code one compliant The only reason you wouldn’t get it I think would be if you got a local pod who is willing to lend you an army for learner games. That way you can learn to play and instead just buy straight into the faction you want. All factions in Infinity fall roughly on a spectrum between Gun and Ability. For example the beginner box has Aleph and Haqislam. Aleph is better at getting into straight up gun fights than Haq. But vice versa Haq is better at succeeding skill checks and A-symmetric warfare, the use of camo tokens and hacking. Trying to make this short but there is another level of the game in that you actually don’t reveal your entire list to your enemy. An army like Haq may deploy their entire army as camo tokens. So your opponent needs to waste orders discovering before they shoot…and they don’t know who they are shooting at!!

Wowza, that last bit about the camo tokens seems pretty awesome. I really like sneaky armies! I don’t know anyone locally who plays it, so I’ll probably get the starter box, and then look into N4 after trying Code one. I really like everything I see about it

Heck yeah man! OPR is on the list, and it seems amazingly simple, I am looking forward to it!
