Infinity (sci-fi miniatures game)

Quick questions (hopefully!):

• Is the Order Reserve total determined by figures or by models (and is there a difference between the two terms? Both sometimes appear on the same page)?
• Does G: Servant provide an Order? It says that Servant functions in the same way as G: Synchronized with regards to activation, but my gut tells me it also doesn't provide an Order, much like G: Synchronized.
• Do AI Beacons provide an extra order on top of the model it is on? Basically, does each Netrod provide one Order, or two? If the answer is one, does the Netrod count as a model?
• For the purposes of Combat Groups, do G: Synchronized and G: Servant models/figures (and Netrods too, I guess) count towards the 10 figure maximum? I know G: Jumper models only provide one Order per operator but count as multiple figures, so I'm guessing the answer is no to all of the above.

Okay, the last couple questions might not have been too quick.

1) The Order Reserve is one order per Regular model, plus the Lieutenant's special Order.

Remember, models must be grouped into Combat Groups of ten models or less (not including Servants). Each of these Combat Groups has its own Reserve, and only one will get the Lieutenant's special Order.

Irregular models have their own Order, which they do not contribute to the Reserve. They can, however, use orders from the Reserve. Impetuous models contribute to the Reserve, but also get their own Impetuous order, which they must use at the start of your turn to move towards the enemy.

So, if you have an army which consists of: 1 Regular Lieutenant 2 Irregular models 2 Regular Impetuous models 3 Regular models 1 Ghost: Servant Remote

you will have an Order Reserve of 6 Orders plus the Lieutenant's Order, the two Irregular models will keep their orders to themselves plus being able to draw from the Reserve, and the two Impetuous models will also have an Impetuous order each.

Ghost: Servant models don't count to the number of models in a Combat Group and don't contribute an Order. Multiple Ghosts may be synchronised to one controller, but when the controller uses and Order, only one Ghost may activate with him. You can change which Ghost activates with the controller on an order-by-order basis, I think.

2) "model" = "figure".

3) Netrods and Imetrons only provide a single Order. That's basically what they're for (with the Netrods also being useful for Posthumans jumping between bodies). They technically count as Equipment, not a Model, but you can shoot at them and attack them.

Right, I see now that Netrods are neither Irregular nor Regular, and thus have no Orders to provide (other than the AI Beacon one).

I might check and see what models my FLGS has in stock this weekend. I might get some to go next to my Shadow Warrior Mordheim warband and Legion of Everblight Hordes models, and they can all keep each other company on the Forever Sidelined shelf.

After watching a couple of friends play, definitely gonna start an Ariadna army.

My FLGS is pushing this pretty hard at the moment. Considering starting, but they don't have any Aleph models in stock, which is unfortunate.

The first sales of my Warhammer 40000 army have begun. Sold most of my armor and a good part of my upper-tier infantry and ordered Wallace and the 45th Highlanders box.

So why didn't they just go up the actual Teutonic Order and say "okay, guys, you're fighting for the Church again. Don't say "no" or we'll excommunicate you"?

The only way to describe my last match versus my GM's Steel Phalanx list;

"I am bleeding, making me the victor!"

Recently got a new gaming club, and hoping to rope some of them into playing Infinity. Saving up for Red Veil (which has been on my to-get list for a while now since I collect Yu-Jing) in order to get a proper mat/terrain and to get two proper opposing sides. Most of the club are historical wargames types, but there are a few young 'uns and Warhammer dudes who may be interested.

Otherwise, my long-suffering wife is playing with me.

News - Corvus Belli has launched a Kickstarter campaign for a Dungeon Crawling Board Game set in same universe, Infinity Defiance.
