Infinity 3rd Ed Sneak Peek: Weapon Range Changes!
July 31, 2014 by dignity
The guys settle down for another look at the upcoming changes to the Infinity universe as 3rd Edition is just around the corner! This time around, the discussion focuses in on Weapon Range Changes, as Killian zeros in on what could be one of the most major changes players of Infinity could be facing in the new book!
Many thanks for the downloadable weapons chart PDF, very helpful.
Can’t wait for the 3rd ed!
Weapons chart downloaded ready for printing and laminating. That’s going to be handy once my box arrives
can’t wait to try the new range of weapons!
Looks like i picked a good time to start with infinity
Those changes will be important. Epic Shotguns !
This is huge. I’m glad to see Light Shotguns getting a buff. Boarding and Heavy shotguns were always super usable due to the ability to load AP ammo for very little cost, but I think the “shotgun tax” is a thing of the past.
I don’t think I’ve ever actually fielded a shotgun before, that’s about to change for sure!
Loving Infinity week.
I have a very serious question for CB…why do you keep making ridiculously cool miniatures for every faction…I can’t collect them all dammit 😛 Na but seriously I like the sound of these changes and look forward to seeing more, ordered my Op. Icestorm already so no just the long wait will have to paint my Nomads to tide me by 😀 Thanks for such a great game, setting and aesthetic! And BoW thanks for these vids keep ’em coming!
Boarding shotgun FTW.
Very interesting moments to come…
Can’t wait to get playing this.
Looking and sounding better every video
Ka-chik, BOOM!
Haqqislam infantry thanks Corvus Belli 😀
Shotguns in corridors, oh yes
Very cool stuff! And thank you for the Weapons Range Chart PDF. That’ll definitely come in handy.
Cheers!
For once I feel like a company listened to its fans and changed the rules to make the game better, more fun, and have deeper strategy.
good video, nice changes to the range bands. Really nice to see shotguns getting useful. Also sweet with the buff to grenades.
And they playtest the rules. So awesome
Keep the videos coming, it makes waiting for the box a little better 🙂
I don’t want Operation Ice Storm Week to end!
Not playing yet so comparison with old isn’t useful – chart will be though!
Having seen some gameplay elsewhere on YouTube I can see how this might give better balance avoiding the “Run your killing machine around turn 1 using most of your orders” syndrome, especially is some AROs become more risky for an attacker. Rotating orders and trickier troop choices ahead!
Lokks intersting. Hope that so many modifires won’t slow the game to much.
From the video it looks like the modifiers are being simplified in N3. For example 2nd edition has a few guns whose range bands were 4″ multiples while almost everything else was 8″ multiples. From this chart they seem to have all been moved to 8″ multiples.
