What are the worst factions in Infinity?:

If you haven't read part 1 in this series, do so first. 

1. Combined Army. It is unclear to me how these guys are supposed to be played.

The Avatar is awesome but struggles in anything other than annihilation because 130 points are tied up in one unit. In area control missions that means you struggle to get more than 2 quadrants, and in specialist flood missions like emergency transmission you have very few points left-over for specialists. 

The makings of a strong faction

Infinity is a very balanced game, but there are still good and bad lists. The following makes a lot of points regarding what makes on faction better/worse than another and why. I will follow up with articles on which factions suck, are average, are borderline and are top tier. 

Qapu Khalki Tactica

I mostly play Yu Jing, Qapu Khalki and Tohaa. Tohaa is a playtesting army, Yu Jing is my campaign army and Qapu is my principle competition faction (Tohaa struggles in some missions). This is a description of my basic approach to playing Qapu.

I am moving to Qapu Khalqi

So I am changing factions to the Haqqislam sectoral effective immediately. They have everything I want in a list. Check this out!

An MSV2 link team with HMG!? Yes please!

Yu Jing attack piece review #1: Hac Tao, Hsien, Rui Shi and Su Jian

I thought I'd go over some of the main attack pieces in Yu Jing to explain how/why I would/wouldn't use each of them. This is the first in the series. Generally in infinity I think you want 3-5 attack pieces and 1-2 defensive pieces (i.e. snipers). There are a few considerations for each. Yu Jing doesn't really do traditional defence (your defence is to smoke dodge and shut down the table), but I'll talk about that in a future article.

Yu Jing list for ITS objective saturation missions

There are a few missions in the ITS where you need a crapload of specialists to have a chance, and good ones too. These are the ones with 6 interactables on the map requiring WIP rolls to activate. It is these missions that having given birth to the FO spam lists that Ariadna and JSA specialise in. I thought I'd write up my initial thoughts on how to tackle them with Vanilla Yu Jing.

Infinity tournament report - Yu Jing smoke shooting

I played in the Australian infinity championships over the weekend. My first Infinity tournament! It was a fantastic event. Prize support was incredibly deep (pretty much everyone got something), terrain was lush, and pretty much everyone got 100% on sportsmanship for the tournament. I went 3-1-1 without making any catastrophic errors, which I was very happy with for my first event. My friend on the other hand walked away with the champion’s trophy in his first tournament. Assault subsection is a bit much eh?

Big bad himself. The character on the newspaper means 'crime'
