There is no "scanning tech" that the Infinity troopers have as standard. This is what keeps movement slow for foot troopers, allows them to make use of cover, etc.<br /><br />Infinity doesn't treat the chaos of the battlefield in an abstract way, it's right there in the ARO system. Admittedly this is because with fewer models you can afford to actually have it in the system, but that's why cover isn't as forgiving, movement is faster, guns fire more shots, etc.<br /><br />That was slightly off topic, but yes, play the game in front of you, ARGH.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17367202513244127126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-29706904794828803402012-01-06T11:26:38.091+00:002012-01-06T11:26:38.091+00:00I think you're just being mischievous now Ant....I think you're just being mischievous now Ant... and I like it!!!<br /><br />What I hate is people going "but he's half covered by that low wall" yes but the rules say you need to be touching cover "but that's stupid" maybe so if that's what your used to in other games but the rules are clear, besides you ask any soldier if they'd be happy standing out in the open like that because they had a waist high wall 10 feet in front of them and see what they say "yeah but in 40k" grrrrrr you're not playing 40k!!!!<br /><br />Cover rules and LoS are what really trip people up moving from game system to game system. But they're always such integral parts of how any game works, that you can't just mess around with them. Can you tell it gets to me? lol.Frontline Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110901356802705087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-51410163199218627482012-01-06T11:06:35.330+00:002012-01-06T11:06:35.330+00:00@Frontline - sounds like a win/win situation to me...@Frontline - sounds like a win/win situation to me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17367202513244127126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-87347897906348663342012-01-06T11:00:40.819+00:002012-01-06T11:00:40.819+00:00lol.

This might sound really sad but I did a whole series of photos of the TAG getting closer to the Deva and 'hiding' behind lamp posts. In the end I decided you all probably thought I was nuts enough without resorting to those sorts of shenanigans!!!<br /><br />@Pacific, the warehouse shouldn't disappoint. I love mine to bits. I think there's nothing wrong with having firing alleys on Infinity boards but you need appropriate cover to stop them becoming death traps. These help.<br /><br />@BragonDorn, I wandered what you were on about with the '200' at first!!! Thanks for deciding my blog is worthy of your attention. :) Always happy to see new faces join up.

Hey pe...@Hendie that's what I'm here for!!! Hey perhaps there's a catchphrase in that for me... hmmm...<br /><br />Frontline Gamer, testing crap so you don't have too!<br /><br />It needs a bit of finessing but its a good start :P<br /><br />Personally I've found having them out in the street so you have to run past a single sniper ARO shot and dodge out of the way so it blocks LoS from that point on works best. As I said in the review you could put a park bench or something on the base if you wanted it to confer a cover save at ground level. But who wants to create a hard point for a HMG wielding lunatic? Not me! You just replace one problem with another. It works fine as it is.<br /><br />As for my roofs, I'm planning on putting foliage on them to make them look all 'green' and environmentally friendly. In terms of height the dip in the middle of the V is 2.5" and the peak at either side is roughly 3". The street light is the same as the small street light so about 7.5" in height. The length of the roof is roughly 5" and its width is about 3.5".<br /><br />Before you ask no I don't know what its bra size is and if its single. :P <br /><br />If you can think of anything else to ask then drop me a line. hope that helped.Frontline Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110901356802705087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-74472503258893673462012-01-05T14:38:24.058+00:002012-01-05T14:38:24.058+00:00When I first saw this it looked utterly pointless ...When I first saw this it looked utterly pointless but thanks to your review I can now see how this would be a useful addition to a board.<br /><br />I wonder whether it would look better with a back so that it's only open from one side? Although this would probably limit the options for using it and a similar effect could probably be achieved by positioning it against another building.<br /><br />The only thing I'm not sure about is the roof. I anticipate that the inverted slope is intended to make it more visually appealing but I think it needs a little something more and with it not being flat I guess it limits what you can place on top (both in terms of minis and the other street furniture available).<br /><br />With regards to the height of this, is it a similar/the same height as any of the pods?Hendiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688180011818556068noreply@blogger.com
