ASSEMBLING YOUR RECON TEAM


Reconnaissance missions by their nature are fast-moving operations. Small teams will smash
and grab their way through a tactical challenge, or stealthily sneak past the opposition to fulfill
their mission. Simply getting to the area of operations means they are limited in what they can
bring; deploying Heavy equipment and assets just isn’t feasible in a lightning raid. These are
small parts of larger operations as well and senior personnel will usually be far too busy with
more dire situations to be involved. 


To represent that; Recon Teams operate with the following List building restrictions. 


- Lists are built to 150 army points with all the normal restrictions for SWC, Remotes, etc. in
place.
- No named Characters may be included in a Recon Team. They’re busy elsewhere!
- Only half your total Strike Team models may be Impetuous. They’re far too much of a liability
to the mission to bring too many along!
- You may include one model with 2 or more Wounds/Structure for every three other models in
your Recon Team. Heavy units are far too hard to deploy quickly without adequate support.
- Only a single Fireteam (Core or Haris or Duo or Triad or Enomotarchos) may be included in
the list. It may contain a maximum of 3 members and may not be reformed to more than 3.
Special Operation teams must be independent by nature and so cut back on the number of
members that use team tactics.
- You may only bring a single Combat Group. More than one can break down mission
communication with too many lines of reporting!

PLAY AREA

- Infinity: RECON games are played on a play surface 24 inches wide by 36 inches deep. This
is (conveniently) precisely the size of any of the Mototronica or other terrain sets available
from Corvus Belli and makes Infninity: RECON a great starting point for expanding what
you’ve purchased in an Army box or the Operation: Icestorm starter set. They can also be
played on a 36 inch by 36 inch play area. All Scenarios are written with objective placement
adjusting to this should need be. Just follow the setup instructions.
- Deployment Zones are 6 inches from that players table edge.
- Terrain should be set up liberally, without long fire lanes and with at least one terrain piece
touching each board edge to prevent fire-lanes that cross the entire board.

RECON BASIC MISSION RULES

All the Infinity: RECON missions follow all the rules for scoring, specialists, etc. from ITS in
regards to HVTs, etc. Classified Objectives are not used, however some Scenarios may require
you to interact with the enemy HVT. HVTs are only deployed if the Mission calls for it and may
deployed anywhere in the players half of the table, at least 6 inches outside their deployment
zone.
