Each Infinity trooper has a Troop Profile that details his Attributes: a series of numeric values that represent how well the trooper can fare against the game’s challenges.The different Attributes of Infinity troopers are:
»»MOV: Movement. |
»»ARM: Armor. |
»»BS: Ballistic Skills. |
»»BTS: Bio-Technological Shield. |
»»CC: Close Combat. |
»»W: Wounds. |
»»PH: Physique. |
»»S: Silhouette. |
»»WIP: Willpower. |
|
Additionally, Troop Profiles list the trooper’s Special Skills, Equipment and weapons.
VOLUME AND LINE OF FIRE |
VOLUME OF A MODEL
Line of Fire (LoF) is the criterion bywhich players determine whether a trooper can see his target. LoF is an imaginary straight line between a trooper and his potential target.
In Infinity, troopers have a LoF angle of 180º, that is, they can see with the front half of their base.For a trooper to be able to drawLoF to his target,these conditions must be met:
»»The target must be within the trooper’s front 180º arc.
»»Thetroopermustbeabletoseeapartofhistargetatleast the size of its head.
»»LoF must not be obstructed by other troopers or by pieces of scenery.
VOLUME
AND SILHOUETTE TEMPLATES
In game terms,all combatants occupy an unvarying volume on the table.This volume is cylinder-shaped, with its width determined by the base size and its height by the type of trooper.

If doubts about thevolume of a trooper arise during a game, use the Silhouette Templates to decide exactly what cylin- der-shaped space it takes up on the game table.

INTRODUCTORY GAME
ROLLS
To figure out whether a trooper is able to successfully complete his action, roll a twenty-sided die (d20). Playing with these rules, each player might need to roll up to three dice simultaneously.
NORMAL ROLL
Only one player takes part in a Normal Roll. Roll a d20 and compare the result to the acting trooper’s relevantAttribute. If the result is equal to or lower than theAttribute,the action is successful.
DEPLOYMENT
Before the game begins,players must deploy their troopers on the battlefield. The winner of the Initiative Roll will be the first to perform the Deployment. Each player has his own 12-inch-deep Deployment Zone on opposite sides of the game table.
Each trooper’s base must be inside the Deployment Zone in its entirety.Troopers can be deployed over the buildings and containers placed inside the Deployment Zone.
You may only deploy troopers where their base fits.
FACE TO FACE ROLL
When two or more troopers have opposing intentions,both players participate in a Face to Face Roll.Each player rolls a d20 and compares the result to their trooper’s Attribute and to the opponent’s result.The trooper with the highest result that did not go over itsAttribute value wins the Face to Face Roll and cancels the opponent’s attempt.
If the players can roll more than one d20,when comparing, successes cancel enemy successes with a lower die result— eveniftheyareCancelled,inturn,byhigherenemysuccesses.
In the event of a tie, both rolls cancel each other and no effects are applied.
MODIFIERS (MOD)
Modifiers (sometimes called MODs) are penalties or bonuses different game situations can impose on a Roll.Modifiers can be either positive or negative and they are applied to the Attribute before rolling the dice.
Maximum Modifier
The total sum of all Modifiers applied to a Roll can never exceed +12 or-12.
IMPORTANT
Whenever a rule mentions the value of anAttribute,consider it to mean the final value,obtained after applying all MODs.
CRITICALS
If the result on the dice is equal to the final value of the Attribute,the Roll is a Critical success.
In a Face to Face Roll, Criticals always win, trumping any non-critical result rolled bythe opponent.If both players roll a Critical,the Face to Face Roll is a tie and both troopers fail.
INITIATIVE ROLL
To decide which player goes first, make a Face to Face Roll using WIP.
GAME SEQUENCE
The game is played in a series of Rounds,and each Round is divided into two Player Turns.

ORDER POOL
As the Active Player, the first thing you must do when your Active Turn begins is count how many of your troopers are still alive on the table.That is the number of Ordersyou may spend during that ActiveTurn.ThesemakeupyourOrderPool.
By spending one Order, you may activate one trooper. You decide which trooper to activate each time you spend an Order. You could activate each trooper once, use all your Orders on one trooper,or anything in between.
Once you have spent all your Orders,your Active Turn ends.

AROS
When theActivePlayerdeclares the first Skill of an Order,and before he can declare the second,both players check to see if any of the Reactive Player’s troopers can react with anARO (Automatic Reaction Order).
All of the Reactive Player’s troopers that have Line of Fire to
(that is,theycan‘see’) the trooper that is using the Order,may declare one of these AROs:
»»BS Attack
»»Close Combat Attack »»Dodge
