What is Infinity CodeOne? 

As a fellow New Zealander, this is great dude. New to the game as well. Looking forward to your videos on code one.

Will be getting Kaldstrom for the Yu Jing models with the hope of Code One and N4 taking Infinity to the next level, especially for new players. 👍🏻🙂

Good to read a newcomer's perspective.

Great video! I've been eyeing Infinity for about 12+ months now but always put off by what look like complex rules, Code One might just change that.

I have been interested in Infinity for about 10 years. Unfortunately, none of my family or friends are as willing to invest time in learning a game at this level. My guess is that I will need to play solo games until I have a solid understanding of the rules. Then, get others involved through the slow escalation of rules in the CodeOne starter box. I expect there is a local group of players - hard just now due to Covid-19. Thank you for the videos.

I believe is operation icestorm (pan o and nomand) the first starter for N3

I 100% agree - it's the "nested layers" which are the major bane holding this game back from being an intuitive experience. Rules, within rules, buried within rules. What does TO Camo do? What about Martial Art L5? What the Smoke dodge? Frenzy does what to your order pool? I should point out that I do not mind complex games, but it's the way such rules are nested and their presentation which can be difficult to penetrate. Some levels stack, other levels are simply chosen, without much coherency throughout the structure. I have seen Corvus Belli presenting videos for OpKaldtrom and Code One, and while the troop profile has been a little bit streamlined - it still references rules like Kinematica L2, or Multispectral Visor L2, which seems like its using the assumptions and terminology of the current system... nested rules. I hope though, I am wrong in this and either skills and equipment are more pronounced and streamlined, or at the very least, the presentation and rules writing is much better.

Going to try using it as a way to grow our local wargaming group. introing people with n3 has always been tough, we normally start by doing a coop style game were a veteran plays half the army and the new player the other half vs the same on the other side of the table. So hyped for the Blue Wolf Mongol Cavalry, white banner looks awesome.

I"m definitely interested in Code One, even if my favourite factions aren't in it at this time. Thankfully hubby (who plays Ariadna) likes the new PanO minis, and I've a big thing for Yu Jing. Just a case of picking up the box, but I have to wait a touch longer since hobbying money is currently going towards the annual four months I can order paint in safely as well as general hobbying area organizational stuffs. I'm effectively a new player, as I've only really played a few games, but yeah, Code One definitely looks a lot more interesting to me, even if it's missing the factions and shenanigans I really like in N3. Besides, N4 and Code One are designed to coexist next to each other ^_^

I love CB but do have one slight criticism when it comes to CodeOne. I got into Infinity with Operation Coldfront and then had to learn N3 and yes, it took time and I still forget things. Putting myself in the shoes of a completely new player I have to question why the CodeOne rules are not in the Operation Kaldstrom 2-player starter box. CodeOne is a simplified/streamlined version of the rules, meant for beginners, on which N4 will be based on. So why then, does Kaldstrom only have a quick-start version of CodeOne instead of the full thing? It seems more confusing for newcomers if they have to download the CodeOne rules from CB later.

I bought JSA army pack, now I think I should have bought Code One

CB has never said N4 was a ‘huge improvement’ but that it would be a edition allowing consolidation and a chance to condense and revise what is becoming quite a chunky game over 5(?) years.

One private bug bear of mine is the ARM save roll calculation. It's weapon damage minus your Arm value and other partial cover mods etc, which you would assume is straight subtraction calculation - HOWEVER, it is not. It is actually, all the aforementioned, +1. i.e. you have to get more than that value subtracted, (hence +1), not just equal to and more than, >, which you just calculated. Equal to your armour does not help you. That is simply not intuitive when you consider that your other rolls such as BS rolls, PH, WIP are: EQUAL to or LESS than ,

Feel the same way, pretty good game, just those awful krit rule... Me collecting Yu Jing and PanO😆😆😆 Realy looking forward for N4! Actualy more then Code One.

I haven't played the game since the beginning of N3, so should I pick up the game again by playing Code One?

Waiting for nomads to join code one

Constant changes to a game is a red flag. Guild Ball died because of it, Malifaux is on life support, and Infinity is not far behind. The games are too fiddly and require too much esoteric knowledge to absorb. Even these neutered versions are too much of a time sink for most people. I do love all of the aforementioned games but most people don't have time to choke them down.
