I've seen enough gamers not to be quite so eager, but to each his own

Did not IJW post the weight of the Morat Starter box right after it released? It was much pricier than the other starter boxes, due to the inclusion of the massive Sogarat. The number of pieces in a mini also influence the price. Requires more labor. All that stuff is hand packed.

I'm wondering what preview we get this week. Page roll over coming soon, so to refresh everyone's memory about April's releases...

Spetsnaz -HMG
Reverend-Healer -Boarding Shotgun
Yaogat -Sniper
Maghariba Guard
Imperial Service Starter Box

Wasn't there a boarding shotgun foxtrot in that release too?

I think the Foxtrot was May, or not given a date at all.

Yeah the Foxtrot wasn't in April or Mays releases.

May releases:

Tikbalang/Uhlan
Bashi Bazouk-- loadout unknown (by me anyway)
Kosuil with Boarding Shotgun
Xeodron Batroid
Miyamoto Musashi
Onyx Army Pack

Did we see the Bashi Bazouk render?

Oh. One more thing...
Human Sphere N3!

No Bashi render just yet.

That is what I am waiting for. Soooooooo hard to keep my excitement bottled.

Infinity Army desktop version is up: https://army.infinitythegame.com/

Still in beta, only Windows and Linux so far; Mac version in the works, but no ETA yet.

Cool. I was expecting a browser app that could run off-line. This is better.

The Linux version is in a RAR file. That is odd, for a Linux archive. But probably not as odd as having a Linux version in the first place, IMHO. It seems to work well enough though...

..Now about that Android app.

Android application would be amazing. There's the potential for having offline infinity wiki that could be connected with the army app. I game in places without wireless internet connection and I want to be frugal with my data transfers.

CB confirmed on thei FB to that question that and android and IOS version were ncoming.

That'll be nice, given that mayanet still refuses to release on iPhones

Arachnet is pretty decent, but no export function is pretty sad.

Ops Infinity is good enough for iPhones, though it lacks a play function.

It's certainly gotten looooads better than it used to be.

What is the normal day of the month that Infinity puts out the new releases?

There isn't one.

Seriously. Their schedule is about as tight as a gossipy person's mouth.

In general, you'll see the releases for the month posted anywhere from the 20th to the very last day of the month(sometimes the first week of the following month). Places like The Warstore will have preorders up that day(assuming it's not a Sunday) and then it becomes the waiting game for their stock to come in, which usually is the middle of the following month.

It's why for a long time I would refer to releases with terms like "Suchandsuch is an Octobember" release.

Thanks.

I figured you'd be the guy in the know.

I'll just put in the pre-pre-order for the ISS starter then with a note that says...."Meh, whenever you get it."

That is a nice looking Umbra. I really like how the purple looks on him. When I get to mine, I may have to deviate from my desert scheme and give him a black/purple scheme.

Enlighten me. Why is it pained in 2 color schemes? Is that supposed to be his mimetism? or did David change his mind halfway thru?

I have no idea, but your suggestion works for me!

It's for a painting contest. Sometimes people like to do 50/50 schemes which are harder to get right, but when they do, they're super eye catching. Worked on that model.

Idk if it's news, but I certainly missed it before:

Fireteam: Duo
There is no limit of Fireteam: Duos active on the table that you can have. It is time to see those couples of Heavy Infantry giving headaches to the enemy

!

Talk about order efficiency. Imagine what Yu Jing could do with all their HI whenever that third sectorial comes out.

and by extension Firetimes can stay linked all the way down to 2 models.

We'll see, Yu Jing received a lot of love. Although I don't think any HI of theirs got Haris in the profile, it makes ORC somewhat special for now.

Wu Ming can duo. They've received a little buff in HS, but they're still no ORC troops.
JSA have some HI duo & haris options, but none of their HI really function like normal counterparts in other lists

Wu Ming and Shang Ji have duo. Shang Ji are simply amazing, I envy other factions and how much flexibility they have. For some reason ORC have only tinbot level 1 in comparison to others.

I see the Su-Jian have duo for ISS is that what you mean? Or can Shang Ji have duo for vanilla Yu Jing?

I don't have the book yet :-/ and the 4chan page I was using seems to have done dark...
