Could someone help me catch up- I hear a bunch of local guys talking about "N3". This is 3rd edition, right? When is it likely to be available in the US- end of November?

Yeah N3 is 3rd edition. Probably wont be available until mid december or later.

Pre-orders allegedly start Next Monday: October 13th.

What would be the complication?

It'd be interesting to see a Face-to-Face roll between a TAG about to shoot the face off a Hacker while the Hacker desperately tries to immobilize the TAG.

WIP vs BS.

What time is it!!!

And yeah, N3 (the Official CB shorthand for Infinity 3rd edition) will be available for pre-order (with exclusive mini) sometime...soon!

To be delivered...sometime this year, I think?

We'll know more soon.

QK mobile brigada stand-in definitely has me interested in that model. Hacking chart looks pretty simple/usable/attractive to new players.

Also made easier to read. Instead of being spread across multiple paragraphs and multiple pages, it's all summed up in one easy to follow table. Just like what they did with Martial Arts.

A big part of N3 is simply tweaking the rules and making them easier to read.

It's an Authorized Bounty Hunter.

Yes it is, but it has the appearance of a Mobile Brigada (specifically the leg armour) with a duster/jacket and some pouches. Haven't seen a clean shot of the head so can't speak for that.

So some people are thinking of using it as a QK Mobile Brigada. Which makes sense to me.

If you are wanting to make sure people are referring to it by its official name, you may want to state your pedantry a bit clearer as currently it looks like you are trying to correct something they already know.

^What tht guy said?

I mean I don't necessarily read every word every poster types, but I did kind of get that fact. Then there's also that thing where I said stand-in as opposed to "hey that's a cool official QK mobile brigada!".



Back to rumors and stuff... If they do a spiffy chart like the MA and hacking charts for some of the other persnickety stuff... could go a loooong way to simplifying things for new players.

I can't think of too many things they could do charts for, really. Camo and Multispectral visors definitely, but after that I can't think of much that could be presented well as a chart.

I'm being pedantic because I don't want people to start complaining about "Why are QK getting a faction specific Mobile Brigada when Nomads haven't even gotten theirs outside of Icestorm!".

So call it an Authorized Bounty Hunter, or put it in air quotes.

Saying 'stand-in' after it implies air quotes.

Seriously Kanluwen, you're just trying to find stuff to argue about these days. You don't have to be combative all the time.

Did you really have to straight up admit that?

When you type them out... aren't *air quotes*.... just quotes?

I honestly don't give two bits what you guys want to call the model, it looks 'purdy and I thin it'll fit right in with my QK. And nomads, I mean, they're kind of all about being snowflakes over there.

He was doing "air quotes", you just can't see his fingers through your monitor.

When they're written, or typed, they're called "quotation marks".

Can we stop with the pedantry now?

Back on topic, what does "ADHL" stand for?

.
edit: "Adhesive Launcher"? Is that correct? Just saw it on the mouseover in this post.

Yes. ADHL is the Adhesive Launcher.

http://infinitythegame.wikispot.org/Adhesive-Launcher_(ADHL)

It's basically a way of taking anything out of the game if they don't have an Engineer. I'm happy to see Aleph getting access to it with the Dactyl.

Might I suggest a reboot of this thread when N3 goes preorder. We're past the 400 page mark and I think have touched all three editions here.

That's a good idea!

Once the N3 pre-order info hits, I'll start a new INFINITY N&R thread!

This thread is getting a bit big.. just a bit..

Not a fan of the jacket and pouches on the preorder model.. but will probably get it anyway.

But... this thread is a classic! It's a thread that has stood the test of time!

How many pages? #420bLaZeIT

Has anyone scanned in the quick start rules from Op Icestorm? OR are they hosted somewhere? I sw a picture of the cover and some people talking about it, but as mine wont be here for a bit id like to get a sneak peak

It looks like he's wearing a barrel. Mebbe that's why he's got the ragefist going on. Too po' for armor

Do we have a price on the N3 book yet? I'll preorder it, but I don't want to pay too much more for that fugly BH

You won't pay anything for the ABH, regardless of whether you think he's ugly.

N3 pre-orders begin 13 October, next Monday, if rumor is correct. Or will it coincide with the BoW Infinity week? Which is...?

I vote we keep this beast, rather than start a new thread. but I'm a bit leery of monthly news & rumors threads. Not that my vote counts anyway.

An excellent QK stand-in substitute proxy That is how I will use it. Maybe. I already have the MB from Icestorm.

Luckily, only one person I can think of is likely to complain about that. And he seems to know the difference already.

The thing about the "not-Brigada" Authorized Bounty Hunter is that he has WAY more armor than any of the other ABH out there. I think that's the confusion. And it make me not a fan f it.

I like the released ABH, appreciate Max, am a fan of Miranda, quite enjoy Lucien, and have played with the idea of using all of them in an Imperial list. But, this one, I'm not sold on him.

Don't the ABH have booty or similar? One of the results is +3 armor isn't it? This guy represents that quite nicely.
