    What: “Infinity is a tabletop wargame in which sci-fi themed miniatures are used to simulate futuristic skirmishes. Infinity recreates Direct Action operations, high-stakes missions in the battlefront or behind enemy lines, where victory or death are a trigger pull away. Players command a small group of elite soldiers, chosen for their adequacy to the mission parameters at hand. Each battle calls for a different composition, and building an effective team from hand-picked members of different regiments is key to a successful operation. Infinity is a groundbreaking, dynamic system that allows you to make meaningful, fun choices throughout the entire game sequence, and gives you the tools to implement any number of strategies with realism and flexibility.” -infinitythegame.com


    Items needed to play:

    -A Rulebook, army lists and Weapons Chart.

    -Infinity miniatures.

    -20-sided dice (at least three)

    -Templates (Circular, Large and Small Teardrop) and Markers.

    -Measuring tape.


    The Infinity escalation league is a slow grow league to introduce and acclimate new players to the game. All player skill levels are welcome. This is a non-ITS league due to the nature of trying to introduce newer players to rules and higher point levels over a period of weeks.


    Entry: $10
