It's time for some Infinity! Matthew and Chase play a 150 point game of PanOceanian vs Haqqislam. They are new at this, so feel free to point out every rule mistake!
Great tutorial to learn by. I'm just starting out w/ infinity, so watching Bat Reps like this one are helping me to better understand the rules. Thank You.
Fantastic, this game really needs well produced batreps and you are just the right guys at MWG!!! -Guts rolls are to be made after both the normal BS shoot rolls have been concluded. The full orders will always be completed is the general rule of thumb. -When the doctor gets hit all allies within her ZoC gets to change facing
Thanks for the Batrep. It gives a good look at the game from a beginners point of view. As far as not getting all the rules right...well that's how it is when you are learning a new game. Once again thanks.
So great that MWG is getting into this game. i was looking into but hopefully it becomes a member of the schedule cause i like it and u guys definitely helped me with 40k
Both short skills have to be announced before the opponent's ARO when you do a coordinated order. Dispersion actually goes with the "1" facing away from the attacker, rather than toward. When shooting the LT, it could only change facing if your attack hit, or when an allied mini in his ZoC got hit, but not as an ARO before rolling dice. No, you don't declare who you're nominating as a new LT. The two 8's do cancel one another if both firers have the same target number. Great video, guys! :D
Haqqislam look great. I love that this game is so fast and simple. No more 2 hour sessions rolling 20 dice and hitting nothing. The game is brutal and can end quickly, which is fine since you can just start another game. Great report for an awesome game.
Love seeing me some Infinity! It's a super great game! Really well balanced and cinematic. You NEVER have to tell your opponent who your Lt. is. (Barring the case when you are in Loss of Lt. status)
Great video! Just wanted to mention that religious troops can still use their action when the lieutenant is down/dead. I believe haqqislam has a lot of religious troops.
Just gonna say something, this seems like a game that is much more fun where the players don't know each others lieutenants, because then you probably want to keep him safe while also don't want to reveal who he is by keeping him well protected the whole game, opening way to a ton of fun mind games.
Great video - one thing I noticed. When the PanO commando jumped in and got hit and failed the guts roll at the start of the 2nd turn - you only move towards cover IF you can make that cover within the 2 inches of movement. Otherwise you must drop prone. As the commando was nowhere near cover, he should have stayed put and dropped prone.
Just so you guys know, when you use cordinated orders your burst is reduced by half rounded up. So a Combi Rifle will be reduced to burst 2 and an HMG will be reduced to burst 2. I think you rolled 3 dice for each of your regulars when it should have been only 2 during the coordinated order shooting at around 22:00 mins.
I've been interested in checking out this game, so thanks for covering it! To Infinty players: how does the army size in this video compare to what would be a normal match?
Something also to note: When coordinating orders, the burst (B) of your weapons is halved (rounded up!), so those rifles should be shooting at B2 during coordinated orders.
Hey, I might be a little late to call it out, but when you co-ordinate orders, the burst of your weapons are reduced to half (rounded up, the minimum always being one). So here the knight and other two regulars should have had burst 2, with the Light Grenade launcher having the same burst one. (right around 20 min mark)
You don't actually have to say WHO it was, just that you're in Loss of Lieutenant. It's also important to note that LoL is determined at the start of your active turn; you don't have to tell your opponent immediately when they've killed your LT. You just wait until your next active turn starts, then tell your opponent you're in LoL. Better yet, if you happen to lose your Lieutenant during your own active turn, you can spend two orders from your existing order pool to elect a new LT right away.
This seems to be about 150 points. A "large standard format" is 300, matches over 300 are very rare. However, due to the combat group mechanic the army list ups in quality rather than quantity, so you'll start seeing mechs, spider drones powered armor and specialists in larger armies instead of just light units.
I thought the tear drop of the shotgun was to be in a strait line with where it comes from and the target. or can u turn it from point of impact to any where u wish ?
Some other mistakes: -Grenade launcher has burst 1. Maybe you mistake it for a rifle. (Or it was a rifle and call it Grenade launcher) -When you coordinate orders you must use exactly the same order; get-up and move are diferent orders. (I made that mistake this saturday on a ITS)
someone may have mentioned this in their lives shows but who at the studio is picking up Infinity and what factions? i'm just curious as to who we can look forward to seeing in the future.
Prone: if you can't reach better cover than you started in (no cover -> partial or partial -> total), you go prone (that's not in the rulebook but a FAQ clarification BTW).
I'm going to sound like the biggest cheap-ass here but this game seems pretty good for guys who want to try their hand at miniature war games but are daunted (as I am) by the sheer number of models to buy and paint to field an average game. Also coming from a Muslim background it amuses me somewhat to see "Space Muslims" who aren't terrorists...they...they're not terrorists right?
As far as I understand they actually kinda follow along the lines of Dune. They control the "Silk" trade which is the key ingredient in extending ones life to immortality in infinity. Also they create some crazy as viral weapons. They do use hit and run tactics I believe. And they live on a desert planet as far as I can tell.
Merlins Beard So they're sort of akin to the Middle East but instead of oil, they're stake in the universe is "Silk". Not too far removed from their Earthly origins it seems.
they are more based on the muslims of the arabic 'golden age' when muslims developed many mathematical and scientific breakthroughs many hundreds of years ago. This is parralled in these guys who are very forward thinking and technical space colonists but also devoutly religious. They are a superpower though and not potrayed in this game as 'bad guys' they are definately not space terrorists lol
From what I remember when you dodge and it is a face to face, the dodging model uses its physic stat against the enemy's BS, dodging model rolls 1 die for dodging against the shooters burst ( 1 dodging die vs. like 3 burst dice), ( pretty sure this is right, because I use dodge alot with my ariadna dog warriors).
Remember to declare your second order after your oponent has declared ARO, otherwise, great game guys, finaly getting your grips with the best game out there!
www.infinitythegame.com/infinity/en/facciones/ im literally getting addicted to watching these after seeing this game, it looks awesome!. only problem is, its in euro's so it may affect how you can order them :(, im may still get a small panoceano army
No, you do not have to reveal who your new Lieutenant is when you nominate a new LT because of Loss of Lieutenant or any special rule that does the same such as Chain of Command or G: Mnemonica.
Matt has stated before in his Sit and Talks that he doesn't like the hyper sexualized nature of some of the Malifaux models so MWG will most likely not be covering it.
when the doctor was shoot, the other Ghulam gain an ARO, because he hasnt LoF before but his teammate was in Control Zone when recive the bullet. Sorry for my english
This is correct, but any movement skill in ARO is considered to be a dodge, so you would have to pass a physical check, then he can move half his first mov attribute
Great tutorial to learn by. I'm just starting out w/ infinity, so watching Bat Reps like this one are helping me to better understand the rules.
Thank You.
Great vid. This kind of thing is what got me watching your channel. The explanation of the rules on 40k. Now this fantastic !
So happy to finally see infinity here!!! Great batrep format! Looking forward to much more!
Yes, so GLAD to see some Infinity on here! Keep up the great work!
Fantastic, this game really needs well produced batreps and you are just the right guys at MWG!!!

I really enjoyed this game. Thank you Matt and Chase for being awsome sports! Looking forward to more Infinity games.

Yeah, finally! Waited so long for this. Keep 'em comming, guys ;)

Great video, guys! :D
Awesome!!! Would like to play this one day. No experience in table top war game
Thank you for finally getting into that game. If you keep 'em coming, I will become a vault member.
Haqqislam look great. I love that this game is so fast and simple. No more 2 hour sessions rolling 20 dice and hitting nothing. The game is brutal and can end quickly, which is fine since you can just start another game. Great report for an awesome game.
Subscribed! Based on your promise of more Infinity!
Woo hoo! :) Love the fact you're on board with Infinity.
Yay Infinity! Can't wait to see more of these.
Love seeing me some Infinity! It's a super great game! Really well balanced and cinematic.
You NEVER have to tell your opponent who your Lt. is. (Barring the case when you are in Loss of Lt. status)
Awesom! Keep it going. Love infinity!
Finalllyyyy! Infinity bat-reps woohooo! :D Keep 'em coming!
Great video! Just wanted to mention that religious troops can still use their action when the lieutenant is down/dead. I believe haqqislam has a lot of religious troops.
Love the terrain and board!
Just gonna say something, this seems like a game that is much more fun where the players don't know each others lieutenants, because then you probably want to keep him safe while also don't want to reveal who he is by keeping him well protected the whole game, opening way to a ton of fun mind games.
YES! Finally Infinity! Keep up, guys!
Yay Infinity battle report keep it up guys! :)
Good entertainment guys, keep up the good work!
That critical 11 at 40:00 though... Good game I really think I am going to try Haqqislam out
This game looks awesome, please make more videos on it.
Great video - one thing I noticed. When the PanO commando jumped in and got hit and failed the guts roll at the start of the 2nd turn - you only move towards cover IF you can make that cover within the 2 inches of movement. Otherwise you must drop prone. As the commando was nowhere near cover, he should have stayed put and dropped prone.
Love your batreps style miniwargaming.
I would like to see an battle report between Yu Jing and Combined Army, preferbly the Shasvastii part =)
Just so you guys know, when you use cordinated orders your burst is reduced by half rounded up. So a Combi Rifle will be reduced to burst 2 and an HMG will be reduced to burst 2.
I think you rolled 3 dice for each of your regulars when it should have been only 2 during the coordinated order shooting at around 22:00 mins.
Don't be afraid, you, just like ALL of us, will make some mistakes. It is still a great game! Thanks for the coverage.
You should make some batreps of 40k in that table, like a city invasion or something, it would be awesome !
would love to see you guys do some videos like an intro to infinity and each faction
The game looks like quality. I would like to ask, are there going to be Malifaux 2.0 learn to videos etc.?
in cordinated order, the burst is halved.
When a ally troop is shoot in control zone, the miniatures can change facing.
I've been interested in checking out this game, so thanks for covering it!
To Infinty players: how does the army size in this video compare to what would be a normal match?
Infinity is really really simple : ) corvus belli did an amazing job! No GW nonsense.
You know it's Infinity when the most lethal model on the table is the Doctor.
Something also to note: When coordinating orders, the burst (B) of your weapons is halved (rounded up!), so those rifles should be shooting at B2 during coordinated orders.
Hey, I might be a little late to call it out, but when you co-ordinate orders, the burst of your weapons are reduced to half (rounded up, the minimum always being one). So here the knight and other two regulars should have had burst 2, with the Light Grenade launcher having the same burst one. (right around 20 min mark)
Would love to see Infinity history as well (fluff videos).
One quick correction on point #3: it's only when an you or an ally are successfully HIT, not automatically when shot at.
You better grab that yellow die that keeps rolling 20s and stick that in your D&D dice bag. 20s or not it seems you can coax any number out of it.
I recommend to get some cheap laserpointers. Helps a lot with LoS and i funny to play with during your opponents turn ;)
You don't actually have to say WHO it was, just that you're in Loss of Lieutenant.
It's also important to note that LoL is determined at the start of your active turn; you don't have to tell your opponent immediately when they've killed your LT. You just wait until your next active turn starts, then tell your opponent you're in LoL.
Better yet, if you happen to lose your Lieutenant during your own active turn, you can spend two orders from your existing order pool to elect a new LT right away.
Please play more of this!!!!
...And yes...you did said it correctly the second time Matt....Muy bien hecho!!!!...:D

You're adding an extra 'i' in acontecimento there, but pan-oceanean sounds pretty good.
Looks like an interesting game.
thanks for this video!
I thought the tear drop of the shotgun was to be in a strait line with where it comes from and the target.
or can u turn it from point of impact to any where u wish ?
That is one badass Haqq medic
Some other mistakes:

This Infinity Batrep is giving me massive XCOM flashbacks
Prone: if you can't reach better cover than you started in (no cover -> partial or partial -> total), you go prone (that's not in the rulebook but a FAQ clarification BTW).
sweet vid
Where do you get these foam buildings? Is ot EVA foam??

Aka: Dune Freman lol. Silk aka spice/
yes an excellent read, loved it movie was weird
Now that's my kind of doc!
This actually seems interesting game.
After watching this I'm just imagining the doctor shouting "there can be only one!"
From what I remember when you dodge and it is a face to face, the dodging model uses its physic stat against the enemy's BS, dodging model rolls 1 die for dodging against the shooters burst ( 1 dodging die vs. like 3 burst dice), ( pretty sure this is right, because I use dodge alot with my ariadna dog warriors).
The shock army's regulars are based of characters of Lost (Sawyer, Katie and Jack).
"The more you know"
Thank you!
~24m: If you're attacked from outside LOF and outside the 8" ZOC, you don't get to ARO. You can only turn if you're hit and survive.
DId I miss where/whom the buildings came from? I like the setup.
Talks about it at the 2:30 mark.
In Coordinated Order, you don't wait for ARO. You declare your first skill and second skill, and then the other one declare his ARO.
That doc was ubercharged! Tf2 referance!!!!
Btw, nice shirts!
Remember to declare your second order after your oponent has declared ARO, otherwise, great game guys, finaly getting your grips with the best game out there!
Yesssssss
Get some quick measures in there! It really makes it soo much better.
Where are the tokens from? Or how did you make them?
Where did you get the order counters from? Post a link please....looking good keep up the great job...
They're from Micro Art Studios. A quick Google will find them.
www.infinitythegame.com/infinity/en/facciones/ im literally getting addicted to watching these after seeing this game, it looks awesome!. only problem is, its in euro's so it may affect how you can order them :(, im may still get a small panoceano army
Christian you can order in the US from the War Store :-)
John Polack I live In wales, sadly so its harder for me to get them
Beast of war dot com will have euro links you can order from.:-)
She's not A Doctor, she's The Doctor. Needs to have a special addition to the paint job or something.
No, you do not have to reveal who your new Lieutenant is when you nominate a new LT because of Loss of Lieutenant or any special rule that does the same such as Chain of Command or G: Mnemonica.
The shotgun template must point along the line of fire
Ok. I will admit. I am now curious about Infinity
That moment where you hear an army list and it means absolutely nothing to you
I know nushin' about Infinity, but I hope I will after watching some of this. ^^
When are you going to play Dutch Blitz?
It looks a lot like a different version of Necromunda. Not sure if I find it better.
Matt has stated before in his Sit and Talks that he doesn't like the hyper sexualized nature of some of the Malifaux models so MWG will most likely not be covering it.
I'm just here to marvel at the gaming table.
when the doctor was shoot, the other Ghulam gain an ARO, because he hasnt LoF before but his teammate was in Control Zone when recive the bullet.
Sorry for my english
It doesn't seem like you need to tell your opponent who your new lieutenant is when you nominate them.
As an aro, they can change facings. It's not free.
No you never tell opponent who your Lt is :)
34:50 you only move if you pass your dodge roll and win the face to face roll.
I LOVE Infinity
I am fairly certain you can take a move action for ARO
This is correct, but any movement skill in ARO is considered to be a dodge, so you would have to pass a physical check, then he can move half his first mov attribute
Yes!!! Yes!!! Yes!!! By all that is holy Yes!!!
Finaly!
They are from Micro Art Studio.
More Infinity!
Lol ppl shooting at the an immortal doctor where have I heard this before
40k rules are not confusing, just inconsistent.
Matt lifts bro.
that dude looks like Kevin VanOrd
