Why do those giant pants make the Japanese guys look so cool?
Yeah, it doesn’t seem to work for Aladdin. 😀
Well Yu Jing or more specifically the JSA are my first force of choice. Love them to bits. Oh and yes, they did get all the cool and not much was left over for the othe guys 😉 Although I have a soft spot for my Hassassins and I Aleph has got its hooks into me too.
What I love in ISS (Imperial Secret Service) is the versatility of the list, you can field Almost everything from the elite team that is there to do serious undercover damage, to the death penalty convicts pushed by their wardens to serve their penance with their life.
Can any faction have fire teams? Or is it just the Yu Jing?
Only the sectorial armies of any faction. But not any unit available in a sectorial can form fireteams, only those that are specified as such. Linked teams aka fireteams is rule that balances the fact sectorials only have access to certain units unlike the generic faction lists, which can choose between a wide range of units. Fireteams rule are explained in the Human Sphere expansion rules (also available for free in CB’s Infinity webpage, dowloads section)
Big pants = ‘Can’t touch this!’
Where are my Gundams and VF1’s
Thanks Janzerker. So a caledonian army can have fireteams with their caledonian volunteers? I will go have a look at the rules.
Cheers
Hope this helps
Caledonian sectorial units that can link, therefore forming a fireteam:
-Caledonian Volunteers
-Highlander Grey Rifles
-Wulvers
The next special combinatlons:
William Wallace + any of the units listed above
William Wallace + Highlander Galwegians
How strong are fire teams in the game?
they sound almost like a game killer. IF you have one and I do not I have no chance of winning. Or an I giving reading tomuch into them?
It’s now been a year and a pair of month since that rule was released (with the expansion and sectorials) . From all the games I have under my belt with the fireteam rules fighting with them or against them, my conclussion (and many veterans will agree me) is that they are completely balanced. Fireteams are powerful, but also have their drawbacks. The most important one is that the members of a fireteam must bunch together, that is stay inside a certain area/radious. This makes them very vulnerable to template weapons. Also you must keep in mind that they are… Read more »
Janzerker has wrote that really well.
You will find that this is the theme of Infinity, you look at something and thing “that is unbelievably broken” you bring it into a few games and realise its balanced.
That is of course the by-product of extensive play testing and taking game balance to top priority.
