    I started playing Infinity roughly half a year ago and have been invited to a local tournament in the beginning of next year. Since I only played a dozen games or so with my OCF I would appreciate some comments and tips for my lists and if my strategies make sense at all.

    The tournament will be 300 pts. + Spec Ops (12XP) with the missions Firefight, Highly Classified and Frostbyte.

    I have this idea for Frostbyte:

    #1
    ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
    [​IMG]10
    UMBRA SAMARITAN (EI Assault Hacking Device. UPGRADE: Goodnight) Plasma Carbine, Flash Pulse / Pistol, Vorpal CC Weapon. (0.5 | 43)
    XEODRON Red Fury, Blitzen / Heavy Pistol. (1 | 59)
    [​IMG] STALDRON Flash Pulse / Knife. (0 | 0)
    XEODRON K1 Combi Rifle, Blitzen / Heavy Pistol. (0.5 | 59)
    [​IMG] STALDRON Flash Pulse / Knife. (0 | 0)
    Treitak Spec-Ops (12 XP) (Engineer, Doctor, Chain of Command) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 14)
    SLAVE DRONE Electric Pulse. (0 | 3)
    NEXUS Lieutenant Hacker (EI Hacking Device) Combi Rifle, Nullifier / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 24)
    KERR-NAU (UPGRADE: White Noise) Plasma Rifle + Pitcher, D-Charges / Breaker Pistol, Knife. (0 | 27)
    UNIDRON (Forward Observer) Plasma Carbine / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (0 | 15)
    UNIDRON Missile Launcher, Light Shotgun / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (1.5 | 20)
    UNIDRON Spitfire / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (1 | 18)
    UNIDRON K1 Combi Rifle + 1 TinBot A (Deflector L1) / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (0.5 | 17)
    5.5 SWC | 299 Points
    Open in Infinity Army

    2 linked teams that allow me to secure the middle fast. The Umbra will be the Datatracker, so the whole Team is immune to the cold. The downside is, how do I secure my heating units with only 10 orders? What can I do against enemy AD?
    I was thinking about a Rodok + TAG list as well, but couldn't figure out anything I like.

    For Highly Classified and Firefight I would use this list:


    #2
    ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
    GROUP 1[​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]10
    Treitak Spec-Ops (12 XP) (Engineer, Doctor, Chain of Command) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 14)
    SLAVE DRONE Electric Pulse. (0 | 3)
    NEXUS Lieutenant Hacker (EI Hacking Device) Combi Rifle, Nullifier / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 24)
    KERR-NAU (UPGRADE: White Noise) Plasma Rifle + Pitcher, D-Charges / Breaker Pistol, Knife. (0 | 27)
    UNIDRON Missile Launcher, Light Shotgun / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (1.5 | 20)
    UNIDRON Spitfire / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (1 | 18)
    UNIDRON (Forward Observer) Plasma Carbine / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (0 | 15)
    UNIDRON Plasma Carbine / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (0 | 14)
    RODOK (Fireteam: Haris) Combi Rifle, 2 Light Shotguns / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 27)
    RODOK Hacker (EI Killer Hacking Device) Boarding Shotgun, Antipersonnel Mines / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 22)
    RODOK Paramedic (MediKit) Boarding Shotgun, Antipersonnel Mines / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 21)
    GROUP 2[​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]4
    Q-DRONE HMG / Electric Pulse. (1 | 26)
    FRAACTA Boarding Shotgun, Nanopulser / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 28)
    NOCTIFER Missile Launcher / Assault Pistol, Knife. (1.5 | 32)
    IKADRON (Baggage, Repeater) 2 Light Flamethrowers, Flash Pulse / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (0 | 9)
    6 SWC | 300 Points
    Open in Infinity Army

    I should have enough Specialists to accomplish all available missions. Of course my Treitak Doc/Engineer is still a weak spot, but what can I do? Again 2 linked teams, some nasty suprises (Fraacta and Noctifier) and quite some orders to Play around with.


    I haven't played any of the lists yet. Feedback is more than welcome.

    I think your frostbyte list is good, but you should see if you can play a test game with it before your tourney. I faced a very similar list recently, and only managed to beat it by 1 point, thanks to the Unidron team castling really well. Which is basically what you should do with them, as castled unidrons will be a tough nut to crack even for AD troops.

    The reason I say you should play a test game is exactly so you can feel more secure in your deployment. If you deploy well your unidron link is going to go far.

    Thank you für the Feedback. I will playtest the lists around Xmas to get comfortable with them.

    Good to know that I am not that far away from a reasonable list.

    I tried #1 in the Frostbyte scenario vs. Haqqislam yesterday and am quite happy how it worked out.
    The middle was secured by my Xeodron/Samaritian Haris in turn 1. The Unidron Link secured the rest. I was lucky with one or two dice throws and won 7:4.

    Now I need to test the 2nd list.
