Infinty

Can't let Malifaux get all the fun. So far I've played one game of Infinity and it seems tone a pretty fun game as well. I like highly tactical games and pretty models. Infinity has both. In Infinity the basic rules Revolve around their Order and ARO system. The way this works is that you get a number of orders based on how many models you have on the board. You spend them to do things, with ther being three basic lists, stuff you can do once or twice per order, stuff you can do once per order that allow you to also do something from the firs tcolumn, and stuff that you can do once per order but doesn't allow you to do something from the first order. Then there is the ARO. Any time I activate a model via an order, there is a subsection of the order lists that any model that can see the first one can do. This is great because it allows things like Snipers. One of the orders I can use in ARO is to shoot you. So I can stick a sniper somewhere, use his order on a different model, and the still have him shoot at people if they crossed the area he was covering. This also means that pinning a model isn't an abstract "Roll your courage and if you make it there isn't any consequences to you moving around." At one point during the game I had a guy that my opponent had three guys with Line of Sight to. That meant if I did anything, my opponent would have three shots on that one wound model. Needless to say that I didn't do anything with him since any order (even shooting back) would had caused three shots at him.

Another thing I like about Infinity is that it isn't the typical run at each other. In the game I played, the closest minis got was about a foot a part.

Modelwise, Infinity is another skirmish game, so you are looking at about 8-10 models per side. In addition, the models are excellently sculpted with a very heavy anime flavor.

Overall I would say if you like Anime and an interesting rule set, you should give Infinity a try. They do have videos on YouTube, or check out Beasts of War, they did an Infinity week
