does anyone know of a good spot where soeone has compiled differences between the editions? I learned how to play not all that long ago, and I'm having trouble figuring out what's new and what still works the same.
If people are playing on a night other than Wednesday I would be in for coming by for a game or two to make sure i know how to play before leaving at the end of the month

Check the official Infinity forums. A lot of people have compiled the new hacking charts and profiles for each faction(including the Human Sphere/Paradiso updates) individually, if you're like me and want a quick reference to my faction. And you can down load the complete N3 rules for free on Infinity's home page, there are a lot af changes so it's probably best just to do that.
Crits can cancel each other out. Doesn't matter who's base skill was higher or not - that was a big difference. When you lose a LT it's not the end of the game, each model gets an order vs a pool and then you can re-assing the LT. I'm sure there were a ton of tweaks, but it doesn't seem that different.
Pfft - math. ROLL 6's PROBLEM SOLVED.with 40k its best to get the rules straight then apply imagination and rationalize; you will only get annoyed doing it the other way round

There is a ton of stuff. Like a ton. Honestly it makes me super glad I barely played in N2 because the last thing I need is conflicting information in my head. So good to be able to start fresh.
I think the change people are most excited about is that now there is an index.
Close combat appears to be VERY different also. I'm looking forward to actually getting some games in....one of these nights.
John and I are planning on being there next Wednesday again.Originally Posted by Blackyujiro
I'm gonna try to make it up there. Wednesday is always a toss up day for me.
Hey guys, I have not been to DL to play Infinity in a while, but I have played N3 with a private group several times now. The rules are a lot more tight and less open to silly interpretation than before, and I generally enjoy it a lot more than N2. Most of the open questions about the rules are around the Human Sphere and Paradiso stuff. They have published profiles and a FAQ but not official rules for it yet. It's definitely playable just not quite as water tight as the core rules.
Things to watch out for that are super different: mostly suppressive fire which is completely changed and we misplayed about a zillion times. Only certain weapons can do it (sometimes only certain modes of certain weapons), the range bands totally change, it's always B3 (but ammo type and damage are as per weapon used), and it is -3 to face anyone in supp fire (i.e. -3 to the other person being suppressed). Oh yeah and it uses your full LoF not just a corridor anymore. I think we managed to forget at least one of those things every time so far. It also makes things like Total Reaction and Neurocinetics interesting, since those give you full burst in ARO at full range so are better than supp fire in many ways.
CC is not that much different, they buffed several CC troops, there is Surprise Attack when charging out of camp or Impersonation, Marital Arts is way different, and in general when a token executes an order that reveals it, it counts as revealed the whole order so people can shoot a camo token on the charge.
