    [UPDATE]:

    Due to Commlink +1, the maximum unit number is higher, sorry.

    Hi there!
    Army not warned you, if you are using more than 15 units:

    I agree, keep both, it just allows for a wider range of listbuilding. More fun! And it feels right lore-wise with it being such a general tag to have a more mid range/smaller option come into production.

    And also, would be fun if in the fireteam list it would be ava1 mk1 or mk2 squalo. Or something like that

    I'm sorry but I can't say I like much of this at all. I'm going to go out of my way to ask my group to ignore it. We already have a tournament planned with it and I already decided not to be in it.

    What happened to the Hafza CommLink? Was that a mistake? Are we going to see more CommLink options?

    Anyway - thanks for trying to rethink the game and for bringing us new models to play with. I am somewhat optimistic that the gameplay will be interesting.

    The violet exclamation mark should tell you that it's legal when playing with reinforcements. Also if you add more troopers the violet button should tell you that the list is legal when playing with Free Play extras. It does so on my PC.

    I realy not wanna sound sassy or confrontational, I just am curiouse:
    You read the rules and decided to don't even give it a try. Is it that certain you will dislike it you will not even give it a shot?

    As said, that is not ment in any offence, but I know from myself I was proven wrong more than one time and now I play infinity and miss playing WHF.

    Can someone confirm this? We need to drop from 250p to 150p from main section list to activate Reinforcements on turn 1/2? I thought the numbers we supposed to be larger (from 250p to 200p)

    Yes.

    I looks like no fun at all. It’s overly restrictive, and from what I can see it favors some armies over others. I’m not going to be buying the new figures because I can’t play them. This is some of the worst marketing I’ve seen! I’ve been in marketing in some form or another for almost 3o years! I’ve seen worse but this is pretty bad.

    It's like Christmas but going down in the morning to find you got nothing but underwear and socks. You got something, but neither what you liked or needed.

    I'm too old for either.

    And making fun of people that are unhappy is childish and being a bully.

    I thought Samsa was supposed to be available in all generic armies, JSA and Spiral Corps.
    Now he is NOT availble in JSA but in all other NA2 sectorials :cry:

    EDIT: He is also not available in generic O12.

    EDIT 2: oh, ok, he is in JSA normal but not in Reinforcements :sweat_smile:

    it is consistent with the table on page 3 (https://infinitytheuniverse.com/resources/infinity?docLang=en, see "Reinforcement rules")


    I think Mantisuk refers to Squalo and is not mocking anyone.

    Thanks for the honest answer, I can understand and comprehend that.
    Well, as it seems atm it comes as I fortold: lets see if reinforcement becomes a staple we all will play or just a funny little footnote like so many other expansions from different games.

    What an absolute waste of time then. Oof.

    Spend time fixing the game and reworking stuff that needs help? Nah. Release new minis that are only used in a single optional game mode? Fucking hell yes.

    Good job CB...


    I mean, we're already not using it since it heavily favors some armies over others.

    Yeah, if it's indented and not just some weird bug or a delayed feature, this is pretty bad. The promo material emphasized the fact that there will be both Reinf and normal profiles to the point where it seemed to be a given. Reinforcements being capped at 100 points also means that I can never bring all the new troops in the same list, which is bonkers.

    Such a big waste of potential. I was expecting some form of reinf. troops to end up in sectorials...
    There`s almost no balance changes to existing armies..I mean WTF...
    Talking about disappointment.
