Infinity Tabletop Analysis Episode 04 – The Space Station
November 14, 2014 by warzan
In this episode of Infinity Tabletop Analysis, we check out an awesome looking space station table, that snipers will just hate!
Let us know what you guys think, how would you use your snipers and tags on a table like this?
Ficzone, so that was filmed I suppose back in april, and put online only now, am I right? Jaws dropped :O
I haven’t played much Infinity yet, I have to wait until after Christmas before buying it. However, assuming it’s like most other games where you can select your force as you see fit, I’d probably not take any snipers. I may take stealthers and TAGs with flame or other template based weapons
You’re on the right track. Every faction in Infinity has multiple tools to deal with a table like this. Even snipers (though not ideal) won’t be useless on this table. They could still maximise their range and lock down corridors with suppression fire.
Why cant i watch these vids on the BoW site. I get some security isues humbug. On youtube its fine.. Can some one help me out. Btw im watching on ipad.
Is it just this video, just the Infinity Tabletop Analysis videos or all videos on the site?
All the frontstage video’s. I have to watch them on youtube. The backstage ones are fine
What device/browser/OS are you using?
Ipad 4, Newest IOS. Not sure wich that is at the moment. (at work).
Ios 7.1.1 safari browser
Unless a tournament takes the approach that every table should be identical in the interests of fairness, I think it’s absolutely ideal to have a mix of table themes and types. Just as a list that is dependent on a sniper (or two) is hampered by this map, so too is a list without a sniper on a relatively open map with some good high ground. I would like to think that it encourages people to build a bit more versatility into their tournament lists and perhaps it might force a player to devise a strategy based on the map… Read more »
I disagree on many levels. First, I think it’s a fine and fair test of skill to let the players build their lists to the mission and board style regardless of surprises. At a tournament, you don’t get a chance to write a list for every board type, so having some uniformity is a good thing. You have several more options in your list than just “take one of everything.” Second, some missions just don’t work very well on certain types of boards. A game of Lifeblood or Supplies on a sparse terrain board becomes a bloodbath with disincentive to… Read more »
