I've known of the game in passing for a few years now, and have received word of some small pockets of people playing it around the LGS locations I visit.
I printed out tenabrae's unofficial rulebook PDF today, and tried having a read. Is the game as ridiculously hard as the incredibly verbose rulebook makes it out to be? What differentiates the various factions, and the various troop choices within a faction? I'm finding it somewhat difficult to tell the differences, given that a lot of design and stylistic cues with the miniatures cross over between factions, making colour almost the only real difference from a distance. I've also heard that Infinity needs ridiculous amounts of terrain. Will the game break if there's not enough? This post has been edited by jwai: Mar 13 2012, 10:25 PM -------------------- jwai. |
