    Since the group of the Camo Tokens are now open information, how should you go about presenting that in your Open Army Lists? My go-to is numbering all my camo tokens and telling my opponent that numbers 1-8 are in Group 1 and number 9-12 are in Group 2 (Ariadna problems).

    It would be good if Army made courtesy lists in this format. ie, put a (numbered) Camo token (and its order) in place of the trooper in the list.

    I never have that problem... Not ariadna player XD hehehe. I guess the best way is any with you are confortable and you can quickly determine wich token is in wich group. I have a friend who always use 2 or 3 groups and a lot of camos. He tried to indicates me wich camo is in wich group at the beggining and I always say the same: thanks, but I only need that you can be sure when I ask you about that or that token... because to me it is imposible remember all the tokens in a while. The number is ok and a good solution for quickly consulting the army list and can ask about him. Your solution is one of the best I think, but with all the confusing things in a Infinity game, probably most of players forget if are the bigger than 9 ones they are in the second group and until 8 in the first... Maybe par (X/2!=0) or uneven (X/2=0). Other solution, you could paint the edges of the base with a distintive color. One for every group.

    Only if minelayer adds an additional camo token to the group.

    Even that would have to be optional. Plus an option to list TO Camo as Camo.

    And it'd also be nice if Army removed order count from the courtesy print-out so you can actually hide stuff behind Holo1+2 during the first turn.

    I thought order count is open information.

    Similar as Mahtamori said, the order count is only open information when the information exist and you only assemble your order pool at the start of each of your active turn. Prior to your first active turn, you don't have anything in your order pool.

    And courtesy list should simply remove it because by the time you get your first turn you might have taken some casualties. So why bother printing a number that is incorrect more often than not.
