Yeah, simply change the Fusiler FO/DR to a mediKit for giggles and make one of the regular Fusilers your Lt.

I hate Fusilier Lieutenants though.

Talk about fragile!

Easy to hide though. 3 potental Lts all prone in hard to get to locations

I'll have to get used to just stuffing certain units into hard to reach locations, prone, in an attempt to hide them/keep them alive for their orders!

All so that my Jotum can run rampant!

On a serious note - how often do you see units "Ramboing" across the table?

And how hard/easy is this to stop?

I'm guessing proper positioning of key units can cut this down via ARO?

Ramboing is common place thing to see, though it's effectiveness is base off how the other player deploys. proper positioning will prevent areas of appoach and the model models you have covering an area of advance the less likely a rambo will succeed.

Think of it like an action flick, if you have an alleyway guarded by one inept guard how easy is it for an elite commando to get through and pick guys off? Now is that same path is guarded by 2-3 inept guards the situation turns into a real firefight or the elite commando is forced to go a different route.

As with most thing in Infinity though there is a PILE of variables to the situation. What do you have out there to counter with, what is ramboing, what does the terrain look like, etc etc etc. Hell half the time if they are bringing a TAG to the table to Rambo with, I dig in deep to hard to geto locations or seal off an avenue, then rambo him back to kill off guys in his backfield. Once you order starve that one big nasty they have they simply don't have enough steam to track you down.

Sounds like your own infiltrators and/or camo troops/combat jumpers are always a good way to dissuade people from this type of tactic as you'll be able to reach out and hit their backfield and cheerleaders too...

Yup, TO infiltrators are great for this role because your opponent doesn't know they exist till its too late and while you are playing with their cheerleaders you are giving them a -6 mod.

It takes a while to get the tactics down, that is why I always say to except to loss several several games before you start to catch onto tactics. Also playing against people of the same tenure level helps a lot because you'll see poor tactics on both sides.

Every game of Infinity vs a player you have never faced before should start out with "So how many games have you played?"

My revised list, due to the Jotum Lieutenant going up to 3 SWC:

Anyone know where to get some good winter themed bases?

And, what does Angel use to make the snow effects as seen on the Jotum?

I don't have the link offhand but Angel has a blog that he answers questions like that.

List looks good though, now get out here to CO and I'll play ya.

I checked out Angel's Blog, and while he does list the colors used, I couldn't find how he did the snow effects.

Of course, it might be hidden in there somewhere, as my Spanish is... just about nonexistent.

You can actually replay to his Jotum post and he'll typically respond to questions. Google Translate is your friend

I'm off to do that - I'll let you know what I find out!

No answer yet, but here's a good tutorial that I'll probably end up using:

OK, I admit it - I love that Jotum model!

So, when I went to look for a larger version of the Jotum "logo" - no luck!

I asked on the 'official' Infinity Forums - no luck!

I sent an e-mail directly to CB using their 'contact us' form and... success!

Hello Ken!

Thanks for your encouraging words!!
I've attached the original file un 300 dpi. I hope to see a photo of that amazing t-shirt!

I'm working on a version based on a grey t-shirt... It just needs some tweaks...

Hope to have it ready in time for Adepticon!

Ha!

EDIT

And...done!

EPIC!

Grey version ordered - it will be here in plenty of time for Adepticon.

I'll wear it on Sunday, when I hope to get a few demos in!

You are one bad ass mu-frakka.

In terms on Infinity - not yet!

I can't say enough about how awesome the guys at CB are though!

In terms of tees - you already are!

That's cool that CB have good consumer support though.

OK, I'll agree with that!

Haha, . I never saw this thread because we have increased activity so much!

Got my Jotum shirt today and, as expected, it is... awesome!

Epic, we the populace demand the obligatory self pic wearing the shirt with a thumbs up.

I think I can arrange for that to happen!

Can't wait, get the picture taken asap! As Blue said, 'we demand it,' and our will be done.

OK - tonight I'll make it happen!

Saweeet!

NOTHING SHAKES US!

Aw whit?! Now my joke doesn't make sense:

Casey's Law wrote:"Watch out! The Triffids are attacking!"

Seriously though you are a legend, the tee is actual beast!

Awesome! I'll be looking for it at Adepticon!

lol epic!
