(Archived) THE THRILL OF THE CHASE - (ITS Bike Recon) Motorized Bounty Hunters in RTF Important note! ITS Bike Recon and some of the other seasonal Special Rules discussed in this article are no longer present in Infinity's Organized Play -format, but despite the fact that this piece no longer is of relevance I've chosen to keep the article here as a keepsake all the same.    In the backstory of the ITS Season 13 - the Frozen Roads - the vast expanses of the Helheim continent are patrolled by local paramilitary experts and their Speculo counterparts, and as such some of the ITS 13 Missions give you the chance to field a free Motorized Bounty Hunter in your lists. This piece gives the RTF strike team a situationally deadly fast attack piece that can leverage all the advanges provided by the ITS13s Tactical Ride Special Rule. So let us rev our engines, don some very, very warm clothing and head out into the great icy wilderness! Volunteer Reporting In! The Motorized Bounty H...

KILL OR BE KILLED - Beasthunters 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! At the time of writing of this article, there isn't a Corvus Belli released miniature for the Beasthunter, so I'm using the Hassassin Fiday model from the Haqqislam Action Pack as a stand in.   When people discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the different Infinity Factions , it's common to hear people state their belief in that Ramah Taskforce "has a weak midfield presence". While I feel that such comments stem from the underutilization of the stellar Tuaregs and the excellent (pun intended) Infiltrating Nahabs , it is true that for the longest time RTF was lacking an expendable advanced deploying piece capable of slowing down the enemy's advance. As such I was positively thrilled to learn that even though the TAG Raid Kickstarter had...

OFFICER TRAINING SCHOOL - Basic Theory on the Stances of Play In this series I'll be focusing on subjects that are specially geared towards new players starting with Ramah Taskforce.   Infinity is a deep, complex game that can demand quite a lot from a player aspiring for competitive success . I've recently been talking with my friends about how important it is to rightly identify the state of the game, and how to formulate the right strategy on how to proceed towards the most likely path to victory after making a careful assessment of the tactical situation. When watching newer players play, I often find them to be doing the right things, but at a wrong time . What I mean by this is that they're executing solid plays in and of themselves, but those plays aren't the ones that are going to take them closer to their victory conditions by the shortest possible route, and even worse, sometimes the plays being made are something a veteran opponent is baiting them into makin...

COORDINATED COMMAND - PandaBeastMode's IGL Season 2 Report (1/2) In this article series I turn to other members of the vibrant Infinity community to offer my blog as platform for them to showcase their thoughts - whether those thoughts be about Ramah Taskforce or something entirely else!   Disclaimer! At the time of the writing of this article, PandaBeastMode doesn't own a sufficient painted Yu Jing collection to illustrate the piece, so I'm using pictures taken from the Corvus Belli's websites instead!   On PandaBeastMode For a while now I've felt that one way to evolve The Good Guys Wear Orange further would be to include other members of the community more in it's articles. The first After Action Report saw the first instance of words not penned by yours truly being part of the blog, and I'm both happy and honored that my good friend Tanan got to be the first to break the ice! The piece you're about to read is the first one on TGGWO entirely written...
