The Good Guys Wear Orange

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 - Exploring Your Options In this series I reflect on the game of Infinity, as well the place of Ramah Taskforce in it.   At it's core, Infinity is a game of decision making . You decide what Faction you want to play, what units you choose to include in your list, what initial game plan you want to follow, how you deploy, what model(s) you leave in Reserve , how do you respond to the Opponent's deployment...

Afterwards, it's time to head back to the drawing board and begin planning anew... Because of all this and more, I wanted to take a look at the decision making processes ...

IN SEARCH OF WISDOM - Q/A Article (Part 1) (Update Pending) In this series I reflect on the game of Infinity, as well the place of Ramah Taskforce in it.   I felt like trying something new, and thus asked for the readers of the blog to send me any questions they might have on their minds so that I might get some fresh perspectives from which to approach my beloved Sectorial from. I can gratefully say that not only have I received many questions, but they have also been very deep and interesting ones to boot! I've paraphrased the questions to a form that makes them easier to include in this piece (and maybe even a bit easier to answer!), and I'm sorry if any of the adjustments I've made to the questions have inflated their value in any way! This article saw some extensive reworking in the August of 2022 due to the N4 Fireteam (and RTF Unit) Update that happened earlier in the year, so the article you see now isn't word for word the same as the one I originally posted,...
