Is there any interest in starting one of these up? We play lots of deathmatch games currently and they're fun, but I think the game really rises to another level when you start to play objective based games. I'd like to play through the narrative campaign with at least 4-6 players if there's interest.
I'm interested but it will need to be in October since Baby is due late September.
I can get onboard with some Paradiso play.
Im in
I'm in too and I'll even volunteer to put up a web site of some sort to keep track of the brackets/exp gain/etc. It may be something simple like a Google Docs spreadsheet, but if I get ambitious I may do something custom.
Would love to depending on match-up scheduling. I'll even paint models for this.
Well looks like we could get a 6 man campaign going now counting my buddy Shawn who's recently started playing Tohaa. Maybe try and do the Prisoner P-09 scenario as a warm up this week and see if we can can't get something more formal started in a week or two. We can work Psyberwolfe in when he gets some time after the baby arrives or maybe do a short campaign and try to do something longer in Oct.
Post what army you'll be playing for the campaign and if you've got any special scheduling concerns over the next month and I'll work with Joehunk to get something put together.
Yu Jing regular. No special scheduling concerns.
What sort of points for the armies in this campaign? I'm interested, but only have a very small collection. Yu-Jing, Japanese sectorial.
All the scenarios in Paradisio are 300pt games. You have to pick which army or sectorial you're playing and stick with it for the entire campaign but your list can and will need to change from match to match depending on objectives. You'll need access to Baggage Bots, Engineers, and Hackers to complete the various objectives though you will probably only need 2 of the three for any given scenario.
Pan-O
One thing that's probably important to mention is that it's going to be difficult to play without the campaign book. It's one of the few books that's not available as a free PDF, and it has all the stuff in it for levelling up your character, your army, and the parameters for the scenarios. You can probably figure out the character levelling up from the new army builder but not the other two. I am willing to let anyone use my book at DL, but it helps to have it when you're home too.
I'll be playing vanilla Haqq for this
Ok, then I guess my attendance will depend on being able to get some more models to get me to 300. Then some more to give me options on my list.
Guess I'll play my new Morat force.
So looks like we have 6-9 players for this.
Blackyujiro - Combined Army (Morat Sec.)
Joehunk - Yu Jing
evil homer - ?
Minus67 - PanOceania
granik - Haqq
Cavematt - ?
Psyberwolfe - Ariadna (Caledonian Sec.) ?
Shawn (a work buddy of mine) - Tohaa
Frank - Yu Jing (Imperial Sec.) ?
Psyberwolfe when in Oct. do you think you'll be able to play?
Frank is the one you talked to.
To answer your question probably after mid Oct so if you want to start without me it's cool. And yes I'm playing CHAriadna.
I can drop in from time to time, but I can't commit to a regular schedule for the league. I have half-painted Combined Army.
Same here. it sounds like a fun campaign, but I generally only have one night a week to burn on gaming, and have been splitting it between infinity and Warmachine. I can't really commit to coming every week or anything like thatQuote:

Those of you who can't commit to a regular play session are always welcome to show up on Thurs. and get a game in, but to join in on the campaign you'll probably need to commit to a regular play session for a month or two if we plan to work through the whole campaign.
Is everyone who's in for the campaign up for starting it a week from Thursday? That would be 9/12. Let me know who would be in to start then and I'll set up the matches for the first round.
I'm good for next Thursday. Hopefully I'll have some more CA models by then. The Morat sectorial's not quite versatile enough for me, so i'ma run them as vanilla CA.
Oh, snap! Shasvastii camo shenanigans!Quote:

I will be there Thurs. Anyone that wants to play should try to read the scenario of they can, because there are a couple things that might influence army choice. Namely, the objective can only be accomplished with Hackers or Engineers, and it's much easier for Engineers. Also, remotes with the Baggage rule are not necessary but can make things easier. We'll be playing Scenario 101 from the Paradiso book.
Alright it's game on tonight. I'm going to try and show up a little early (6-6:30) and grab a table. We'll see how many folks show up and organize brackets from there.
I will be there tonight, but I don't have enough models to field a 300 point list unless I proxy. Is that okay?
yeah proxies are fine
I'll be there with Aleph and terrain.
Yeah proxies are totally cool. I played Infinity with Space Wolves for many games at first.
I will be there tonight, I'll try to be there at 7.
If I end up making an uneven number of people that want to play I will willingly bow out because I am only part-certain I'll be able to make all the campaign nights anyway though I intend to try.
Same here. I alternate weeks with Warmachine, so if someone needs the points for the campaign, I can sit out.
Alright it's Paradiso time again. Matchups will be the same opponent you played mission 101 against. So Evil Homer and I will play. Joehunk and Seppuku will play. Frank and Blackyujiro didn't get to play last week but if they can get their matches in sometime this week or next it's still possible to get caught up.
Following this week matchups will reshuffle with the two players with the highest VP's (Rank 1 and Rank 2) pairing up against each other on the winners path. On the common path Rank 3 will pair up against Rank 4 and if Frank and Blackyujiro can get their games in Rank 5 will play Rank 6.
For those without access to the Paradiso book here's a summary of mission 102 and its objectives:
http://www.asgardgames.net/forums/in...p?topic=3658.0
One thing that does not come through in the summary granik linked but is pretty clear in the book (that may affect army design) is that if you use a remote or G:Servant to activate the devices, you must use literally that same model to do the whole combo. You cannot use the same Engineer or Hacker through different remotes/servants. You can however transfer the sequence from one model to another (even if the model containing the sequence is dead) by spending one short skill in contact with it (no roll needed).
Evil Homer, are you going to be around to play next week so we can get the next round in?
Thanks Granik for setting all this up, thanks Joehunk for playing me the first round, and thanks to everyone else for spending their time playing some Infinity to make this all happen. I like our little community and look forward to the next set of matches and my next adversary.
Seconded. Looking forward to the killing on Thurs. I am actually getting inspired to paint!!
For those playing 202, here are some army design notes:
- Hacker or Engineer required (neither is better, WIP rolls)
- Remotes/G:Servant not allowed to complete objective
- Infiltration/Impersonation allowed, but dangerous (roll to avoid "biohazard", can immobilize)
- Mines and other deployables lose their ability to distinguish friend from foe and will detonate on friendlies too. Miniatures with minelayer, CrazyKoalas, etc. may elect to deploy without them.
- No bonuses for Baggage or EVO.
In light of Blackyujiro's army loss I think we'll add a Ghost Army to the mix to keep things rolling. This army will be playable by anyone playing the campaign that has time to get an extra game in. The army will start with the same VP as Blackyujiro and unless anyone objects will be a Nomad army. Just proxy models with whatever you've got at hand. If Blackyujiro or Psyberwolfe get back and want to jump into the campaign we can just swap them out for the Ghost Army and keep rolling from whatever point we're at.
Wife's dealing with Baby Blues right now so it may be longer than I anticipated when I return. Oh BTW the Reaper KS that is going on has some pretty sweet terrain available that will be perfect for Infinity.
