What is Infinity ?
Infinity is a skirmish scale wargame by Corvus Belli. It has brilliant
miniatures and a fast action-based ruleset set against a science fiction
background that sucessfully blends high-science, anime styling and
gritty alien incursion.
At the time of writing, the Infinity rulebook is the first English revision
(i.e. its second rulebook edition). The Infinity rulebook is a great piece
of art and it's graphics and the background materials it contains are well
worth purchasing as a shelf-piece.
Rules, updates and force lists for Infinity are available on the games'
website (www.infinitythegame.com).

An ARO is always simultaneous to the Order it reacts to. A
Face to Face Roll is required every time the actions of two
figures affect each other (For example, one Shoots and the
other tries to Dodge, or one tries Hacking and the other
answers by Shooting). If the execution of a Skill does not
require a roll (For instance, the Alert Skill), a Face to Face
Roll will not be necessary. If a reacting model uses an ARO
but is not itself the target of an action, a Normal Roll is
made (For example, two models gain ARO as they have
LoF to a figure using an Order. The acting figure shoots at
one of the two – that model must make a Face to Face Roll
if he returns fire, while the second model fires on the acting
figure with a Normal Roll).
ARO are carried out simultaneously. Therefore, if a
Camouflage Marker spends one Order to Move, an enemy
may use an ARO to react and try to Discover it but even
if successful, other models with ARO cannot shoot it as a
reaction to the same Order.

with other miniatures, but is measuring the effectiveness of

For example, using the Special Skill: Sensor to Discover

If the result is the same or less than the tested Attribute,
the action is successful. It is important to remember to add

Roll. Angus must roll 9 or less, the same number as
before. Shenru needs 16 or less [CC Attribute of 16].
D20 results are 8 for Angus and 10 for Shenru, and as
it is a Face to Face Roll, Shenru is the winner. Angus
must roll and get more than 14 [Target of 14 (Shenru’s Wu Shenru
PH Attribute while using a CC weapon) adding +1 Short Skill: CC
(ARM) to his d20 Roll]. Angus gets 16 with his d20 (He
is burning through his luck!) and avoids a Wound. As
they are engaged in Close Combat, Angus does not
need to make a Guts Roll. (See Graphic 21).
Shenru receives a new Order, the last one available:
he must finish Angus off or die. He spends the Order
to make a CC attack and both make a Face to Face
Roll. Now both use their CC values, as combat is
joined. Angus must roll 13 or less [13(CC Attribute)
with no TO Camouflage Modifier as they are in close
combat] and Shenru must roll 16 or less [CC Attribute
of 16]. Both roll their d20: Angus gets a 12, and
Shenru rolls 14. Shenru will score a hit, but as Angus’
roll has also been successful, he will apply a bonus
+3 to his ARM roll. He therefore needs to roll over 10
[14 (Damage) adding +1 (ARM) +3 (Defence Bonus)].
His luck has disappeared, as he rolls a 2. Shenru’s CC
weapon is of the Shock type, and Angus falls Dead

in skipping the Unconscious state to pass directly to

ÂSpitfire: The Spitfire is a medium machine gun designed

In all of its existing versions, the Spitfire has its own place
in the history of weapons, thanks to its high rate of fire
and notorious precision. Known internationally as “The Fire
Spitter”, it has been named “The most effective automatic
weapon of the Sphere”. Unlike its older sister, the HMG, the
Spitfire has a shorter barrel which makes it very effective as
an attack and support weapon in urban combat. This, tied
to its toughness, and ease of use, has propelled the Spitfire
to mythological status amongst soldiers fighting in urban
zones.

collector’s pieces. Thanks to the toughness of their design,

Close Combat weapon which combines the effect of two
different Special Ammunition types (See Weapon Chart).
ÂUragan MRL: A light multiple rocket-launcher. This Ballistic
Skill weapon has a simple design, and suffers from low
accuracy but is very effective at terminating targets through
saturated firepower. The Uragan (which means “Hurricane”
in Russian) is a low cost, fast production artillery weapon
that is designed to face armoured elements and provide
counter-battery fire. The offensive conception of the
Uragan is to rain armour-piercing fire on a given target.
It consists of a double mounted multiple launcher based
on a mobile platform. It possesses an automatic self-
loading system and a fire correction device, archaic but still
effective. An Uragan is acquired by armies desiring mobile,
low maintenance, direct fire unhackable artillery.
When an Uragan shoots, it performs a salvo of 3 shots (B
3) but they have to be fired at the same target, placing a
Circular Template over it if the roll is successful. In spite
of the light calibre of the rockets, they load AP Special
Ammunition. The Uragan’s rocket-launchers always fire
at the same time, in both active and reactive turns,
performing 3 BS Rolls each time it fires. In normal shooting
mode, the unrefined aiming system means it is unable to
perform Parabolic or Speculative Fire and doesn’t suffer
from Dispersion. An Uragan can be fired at a target marked
by a Forward Observer, without a BS Roll required, just the
spending of an Order. This guided shooting mode cannot
make more than three guided shots per turn (With a three
shot salvo, B3, for each one). Uragan projectiles cannot be
hacked. This weapon cannot be picked up with the Booty
or Impersonation Special Skills.
ÂViral Mines: Contrary in design to Antipersonnel Mines,
aimed at causing damage and injuries to incapacitate an
enemy and increase their medical and logistical burden,
Viral Mines are designed to kill an enemy soldier directly
without damaging facilities or structures.

Desert Terrain: A terrain where heat and sand prevail.
Game Zones with Desert Terrain could be dune deserts,
stony areas, desolate savannas, etc.
Mountain Terrain: This encompasses zones at great
height over the sea level, with rocky formations and little
vegetation, and those territories typical of artic and sub
artic regions. Mountain Terrains are the high, medium

plains, tundra, etc.
Jungle Terrain: These characterize very solid woods. Rain
forests, jungles, thick forests, groves, etc.
Zero-G Terrain: This is where gravity force is very weak
or nonexistent, requiring a different sense of direction and
movement. Zero-G Terrain includes zones with atmosphere
and pressure and also exterior vacuum. Possible Zero-G
scenarios would be freight zones of great spacecrafts, the
exterior rings of space or orbital bases, the corridors of
spaceships or bases with disabled artificial gravity, etc.

DAMAGING SCENERY
A piece of scenery can be targeted if its profile of ARM
and STR has been determined and if there is a previous
consensus between players. If no agreement is reached,
that scenery piece cannot be eligible as a target.
If when performing an attack against a piece of scenery
with a template weapon, a missile launcher for example,
any enemy figure has been affected by the area effect of
the weapon, the Speculative Shot Modifier (BS-6) must be
applied.
It is not allowed to shoot at a scenery piece if the Template
affects allied troops, neither can this be done if the
Template affects camouflaged enemy troops unless there
are any other enemy figures inside the area of effect.
Remember that structures can only be harmed by DA and

“Remote” by “Civilian”).
The exceptions applied to Civvies regarding the G:
Synchronized rule are that, once synchronized, they never
perform attacks, and they do not have G: Remote Presence.
However, if the trooper fails the roll, the Civilian will flee
in panic,
disengaging automatically from CC and moving 2 inches.
To determine in which direction the Civilian moves it is
necessary to apply the Dispersion rule. The centre of the
Circular Template will be placed over where the Civilian is,
with the number 1 pointing at the centre of the game table
and the second digit of the failed roll indicating where the
figure will move to. Civvies cannot be synchronized with
Remotes and Impetuous figures.
A figure only can synchronize with those Civvies not
already synchronized and those Immobilized because
their synchronization has been broken (Because their
Controllers are Unconscious, dead, hacked, affected by
E/M Ammunition or have turned Impetuous by Frenzy,
Inspiring Leadership…).
The maximum number of civvies a figure can have
synchronized at the same time is 2.
If the Civilian is Hostile (HOSTILE), it is necessary to succeed
at a Normal WIP-6 Roll to synchronize it. If the roll is failed,
then the Civilian will attack automatically, performing a
Normal CC Roll, applying Damage PH- 2, if he is successful.
This roll can be made by an opposing player. In some
scenarios, Hostile civvies can be mixed with Neutral ones,
being indistinguishable from them. In such cases, when in
base contact with a Civilian, it is necessary to roll 1d20 on
the following table, to know which category he belongs
to. Once the roll is made, the Modifier to synchronize the
Civilian will be known, and the Hostile Marker (HOSTILE)
will be placed if necessary. The chart can vary depending
on the scenario.

themed armies, focused on a specific Military Order of the

player’s choice. The entry “Military Order Knights”, with
AVA 4, allows enlisting of up to 4 Knights from the same
Military Order (For example 4 Hospitallers). The entry
“Confrère Knights” refers to Knights from other Orders that
collaborate with the Order chosen by the player. “Confrère
Knights”, with AVA 2, means it is possible to enlist up to 2
Knights belonging to other different Order (For example
a Montesa Knight and a Teuton Knight in a Hospitallers’
Sectorial Army, or maybe two Knights of Santiago).
The Sectorial Armies are characterized by a lower range of
unit choices, which makes them less versatile compared with
General Armies, but, in return, they allow different gaming
styles. Moreover, Sectorial Armies are tougher and more
resistant, because they are allowed to concentrate certain
specialist troops, and have exclusive use of the Link Troops
rule. Each Sectorial Army possesses its own identity, some
with an aggressive focus while others are more defensive,
with Sectorial Armies specialized in close quarter combat
while others prefer long range engagements… but all are
different from each other. Discover this by playing them!

This playing order will be kept for the entire battle.
Example: The PanOceanian Player, with 12 miniatures, has
a WIP 12 Lieutenant, the Fusilier Angus. The Yu Jing Player,
with 7 figures, has a WIP 13 Lieutenant, the Zhanshi Wen
Liu. They roll the dice and the PanOceanian Player gets
a 7 while the Yu Jing Player rolls an 11. Both succeed at
the roll, but the Yu Jing Player wins the Face to Face Roll

To choose the Deployment would be interesting, because
the right side of the game table has more Cover, and
that is an advantage. Nevertheless, the Yu Jing Player is
loyal to the “Who strikes first, strikes twice” philosophy
and chooses to take the Initiative and prefers to be the
first active player. This means the PanOceanian Player can
choose on which side of the game table to deploy his
troops, and who will deploy first. The PanOceanian Player
chooses the right side, with more Cover, and decides the
Yu Jing Player will be the first to deploy the troops onto
the battlefield.
Following these choices, the Yu Jing Player places 4 of

and a “Field or Ball” system. Before starting the game, the
players must make a Face to Face Roll with the WIP of their
Lieutenants. The winner has the option to choose between
winning the Initiative or choosing the Deployment order.
Choosing one of the two options means transferring the
advantage in the other one to his adversary.

DEPLOYMENT
If the player takes the Deployment option, then he chooses
which side of the battlefield he will deploy his troops to
and then chooses which player deploys first.
Each player can place a single figure in reserve while
deploying. This miniature is placed after his opponent’s
initial deployment (If placing first) or after the opponent
has placed their reserve miniature (If placing second).
 Victory Conditions
74 A battle is fought at as many points of army as previously
decided. For instance, between 150 and 300 army points,
battles at 150 points are going to be more or less short
and battles over 300 points are going to be longer. Army
points are important to calculate the Availability of Support
Weapons and the percentage of figures required to cause

The battle will be over when one of the two armies disbands

away. It can also finish when the targets of a mission are

achieved or when one of the armies has been completely
wiped out.
The Victory Points obtained by both sides can also be
compared to see who the winner is. Victory Points are the
points that your army has eliminated of your opponent’s
force. The army that obtains more Victory Points, or the
one who achieves the biggest number of computable
casualties at the end of the battle, will be the winner. Or to
look at it another way, the winner is the one who has the
greater percentage of living troops.
