If I tell you, "You're wrong," you'll need to click this.
Does anybody else find it odd, by the way, that the information age has led to language becoming an oblique and imprecise tool where even the most straightforward phrasing is pored over with chicken entrails and bone tossing to divine the true meaning?
I've never played before, but I'd really like to try it out.
John V and I were planning on getting a game in tonight at DL. I don't really know enough about it to say either way yet.
I had fun playing it last night but if n3 was supposed to be the easily accessible easy to understand infinity they have a lot of work left to do.
Just to give one example, the way to do a shooting attack is an ARO could use a lot of work. They word things too fluffy. "Angus gets shot before he can even pull the trigger!" I know it seems like it should be obvious, but there is never a need to leave anything open to interpretation. Why not just "Angus is hit and must make a successful ARM roll or reduce his wounds by 1." Plus the example is bad because you'll almost never do an active turn shot with just one burst. They should have explained how to resolve the other shots from the burst.
And the book isn't complete. You still have to download the rules for like 60% of the models and also a lot of weapons, abilities, ammo, etc. And what is there is spread all over the book, so first you have to find the model your using to see it's BS, then look up it's weapon for Range Band/Dam/b, then look up any special ammo rules it might have. Fans have already started laying out new docs that organize the information better.
I like the Infinity models enough that I'll play regardless. I am honestly excited about N3, and looking forward to playing more but I feel like they wasted an opportunity.
So you're saying it's complicated? I think I am starting to see a pattern here Ben.Originally Posted by GentleBen
Hey hey hey! Doesn't that warhammer fantasy game you like so much already have enough troll for you? Why you gotta troll in here?So you're saying it's complicated? I think I am starting to see a pattern here Ben.
Once they get their army creator rebuilt all the unit rules and weapon abilities will be in one place. Also just like warmahordes new units were added in their two other books. Then the remainder of the unit rules are in a free PDF.

I see what u did there.
And yeah a rebuilt army builder will be a life saver. It all still feels a little clumsy to me, but if that's what infinity is I'll deal.
Yeah, I've been following the progress of N3 up to the release. While I understand that they wanted to get the core rules updated, I felt it was a bit weird to leave what is essentially the portion that, most of our group at least, had been playing by..the added Paradiso rules. I am glad that they are working to update everything thing else sooner rather than later.
John and I will be playing at DL again tonight.
