Local Community Update!

[valthonis]

One of the local shops here is running a "Mini-Con" in October, both a play on War Gaming Miniatures and Mini in sense of size.

I've volunteered about 10 hours of my time to sit and demo/talk about Infinity!
So I guess I have a serious reason to get off my butt to paint some models and terrain now.

Big thing now given the range of players and experience I could get where do I place points and demo lists?
Maybe a 5 man list around 100pt with weird rules limited to a minimum? Three Light Infantry, one Heavy Infantry, and one 'specialist' of sorts?


I hope hope hope that I can find some players out of this...

Ask CB nicely and they should be able to send you a bunch of Quick Start Rulebooks which have some simplified forces in the back already. See the downloads page for the PDF versions.

When and Where?

[Pierzasty]

Which factions? I have a few demo lists for , but my minimum of rules is rather relaxed

I sent an email to CB last night, asked about various handouts (paper) that they might have or at least permission to print at a Kinkos (they can be picky about PDFs) and distribute. Specified that I am not looking for free mini handouts.

I have never been a fan of the forces in the back of the quick start rules.

I was thinking of these, unique enough but without the "PanO has a BS of 12, wow they're the best!" but also avoid too many special rules and let the players experience how hiding can actually work. Aka camo.

When and Where?

Gnome Games on the east side of Green Bay. The "Major Minis Battle Bunker". It's the weekend of October 11th, so 11, 12, and 13. At this point I'm debating between 3 hours per day or perhaps extended (6 hours) time on Saturday.

Same here, normally I limit my demos to about 75pt with no LT and no real special rules or weapons, but for this I figured I'd step it up a little bit and show off camo and some special rules.

Thanks! But at this point it's just me running this for Infinity. So I doubt I'll effectively be able to run more than one game at a time. At this point I'm just excited at the possibility of players!

I can understand that.

Other than dropping the Mines they look like a good mix.

[jmeis982]

Added to my calender, hopefully the I will be able to make it up.

How are your preparations coming along? Do you have a demo board yet?

Still a WIP but coming along nicely. CB replied and will be shipping me handouts with Quick Start Rules and such as well!

I've settled on the following.

Ariadna:
-1x Vet Kazak with AP Rifle, Mimetism, Light Flamethrower
-3x Line Kazak with Rifles

Yu-Jing:
-1x Shang-Ji Invincile with Combi Rifle and Light Flamethrower
-3x Zhanshi with Combi Rifles

Comes out to a couple points difference and shouldn't contain too much weirdness. But, depending on time, attendance, and interest, I'll bring some larger forces if someone wants to see more.

[kidterminal]

Even if you don't use the other figures you can put them on display to attract interest.
