In Search of Wisdom - My First Thoughts on RTF and ITS14

IN SEARCH OF WISDOM - My First Thoughts on the RTF and ITS14 In this series I reflect on the game of Infinity, as well the place of Ramah Taskforce in it.   I wrote an article like this one a year ago, so you should know what to expect - a combination of hot'n'cold takes on how the newest Organized Play Season of Infinity will effect our beloved Good Guys and Gals wearing Orange shoulder patches! Here we go!   Thunderclapping It  The ITS14 Season is named " Thunderclap " - the Combined Army 's armada has dealt the Cerberus Blockade above Consilium Prima a thunderous blow, and now it's time for the Factions of the Human Sphere to mount a lightning counter attack! The beginning of a new year of ITS not only means changes in the list of Missions available for competitive play and the shift of the global (and maybe to a lesser extend, the local) meta due to the new Special Rules introduced by the story, but it also marks the passing of some of the things that...

In Search of Wisdom - My First Thoughts on RTF and ITS13

(Archived) IN SEARCH OF WISDOM - My First Thoughts on RTF and ITS13 Important Disclaimer!

The time of the bike has come." Hey there everybody! I decided to try and be like the other cool kids on the block by blurting out my very not thought out first impressions on what the new ITS Season 13 could mean for Ramah Taskforce, so let's gets get a move on before I realise how bad an idea this is! I'm bound to miss some small and even some bigger details by doing this piece right away, but hey, that's why it's called " First Thoughts " instead of " Definate Analysis "!

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - Wild Bill and Carmen Johns & Bâtard in RTF

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY - Wild Bill and Carmen Johns & Bâtard in RTF In the Unit Focus series I take a look at the different units that make up the Ramah Taskforce, and try to answer why, not if, you should include them in your lists.   (Disclaimer! I've made the decision to use a Dynamo Biker and a spare Antipode model to reprisent Carmen & Bâtard - I've made this decision purely on stylistic grounds, and I still find the actual models amazing, if less professional looking, than the ones I've chosen to use!)   While most of Ramah Taskforce is made up of dedicated Haqqislamite career soldiers, there are also more eccentric characters mixed into the force. In this article, I'm going to take a look at the Faction's only Warband option in the mercenary biker Carmen Johns and her companion Antipode Bâtard , as well as the legendary Aristeia! gunslinger (and a Janissary wannabe), Wild Bill In This World, There Are Two Kinds of People...
