Infinity General - Ahl Bunssed Editition

There is only one cure for heathens like yourself- beatings. I will send my Mutta'wiyah to beat you, I will send my Rafik to beat you. If an Odalisque should pass you on the street, she could beat you dead and no cleric would mind.

We all understand the business principle but that doesn't make it any less retarded you retard.

Well, you for one don't seem to understand it. I don't want to insult actual retards by drawing parallels between them and you, they've suffered enough.

>CBIDF
Ok chuckles.
Don't you have a siesta to take?

except for the doofy big guns the auxilia are fine

To gain a deeper knowledge of PanO (and CB), I'm going to marathon "Carlos, rey emperador".

Look at their shit-awkward pose and say that again, mate.

>UUUH, I DON'T LIKE A MODEL STOP BUYING IT RETARDS

The fuck you smokin m8? They look like playdoh next to modern units.

You should actually Marathon scifi B-movies that inspired the setting to achieve that.

I spit on your Mayanet and your ALEPH as surely as a camel spits on a fornicator. Have you seen the GoGo Marlene Show? Truly, there is the perfect example of why PanO was a mistake.

No you should marathon 80s scifi anime.

...

Nah, that is purely aesthetic.

forgot they need a pointy finger and a tactical rock :)

Yea, that's pretty much the jist of it spergo.

Oh a shitty gimmick you can't remove from the model. Something like a dead alien hand gently grasping the models hip.

Or a shitty gimmick.*

Do people get much use out of the non-smoke grenades?

One time I used Nimbus grenades on my Zhanying to get Fenix into cover. My opponent had him covering a long fire lane so I used the Nimbus to give myself a defensive bonus, then used Sensor to give me 2 dice to his 1.
It worked but it felt really janky and order intensive. Using an MSV2 unit would have been a much better investment if it hadn’t been killed.

I haven't taken anything with them recently, but when I did I usually forgot I had them. Just looking them over its seems they're best used for ARO or speculative fire, but the only models I have with them are Naffatuns and spending a whole order on a 5 or lower rolls seems like a waste of time.

You got anymore?

What 80s scifi anime or 80s scifi anime art?

Ghost in the Shell
Akira
Bubblegum Crisis
Tank Police
Cyber City 808
Battle Angel Alita
AD Police

>those anime titles

Holy shit, user, are you me?

Well a half the good scifi anime are from the 80s and if you like scifi and anime your going to find a lot of overlap in taste.

Don't underestimate speculative fire. Up close they are only -3 on a stat that is usually 13-14. In the new season of ITS there are a few missions where you need to kill the enemy HVT with a data tracker. Doing it safely with grenades is one of the easiest and best strategies.

you are missing Varuna: the anime/manga brub

Appleseed

Varuna?

I did forget Appleseed, but really anything Masamune does should go without saying. Even his later work can fit in as Bakunin inspiration.

>HAL's character designs for War in the Pocket

My son's name is Alex.

>Blackjack: the anime

Hell yes

Not really, the entire MI division of PanO is literally AD Police/ESWAT crossover, more on the ESWAT thought.

The only thing lacks is a proper landmate/hardsuit.

Speaking of which, I really like giant robots. Are TAGs worth taking or are they liabilities? In many TT games, big point sinks = big targets and go down quick.

yeah, but why the fucking druze. They should give more option to Kaplan, maybe even extend them to a full Turkish faction.

TAGs are solid, but can be tricky to use. You generally need to babysit your TAG a bit since it's a very juicy target in a very lethal game and has various counters, but if you build around it properly then there's nothing with quite the same raw speed and strength as even a no-frills TAG.

Infinity suffers from that. Orders are the most important resource and expensive things only provide one of them. TAGs are the most expensive. They have slowly been making improvements to try and mitigate the issue. Last season TAGs all became specialists and there were some missions added that get bonus points for using them. This season TAGs across the board got increased damage. These changes definitely help, some TAGs are in an amazing spot like the Sphinx, but others still need adjustments in my opinion.

It's not even remotely retarded you whiny fuck. If a model isn't doing well then an visual update is the best way to improve sales, especially since fucking all of the units in Infinity are solid picks. "Popular" models that don't look super swag could easily just be flavor of the month (or year).

Hell, even Ghazi aren't auto include. I have a Haqqislam list that I love and it has 0 room for Ghazi.

You're trash.

>Yea, that's pretty much the jist of it spergo.

Says the spergo

Shut up, Druze.

Is there any scum worse than Djanbazan?

youtube.com/watch?v=6RJyAGggsgE

Ghazi.

this is what nomads want to happen to humanity. Without Aleph controling all the AI and robots, we would be destroyed.

Ghazi are heroes of the people, ready to risk their lives to prove themselves as symbols of Haqqislam and it's values.

Nothing you would know of, Druze.

Please, you know that you are witnesses ALEPH's logical conclusion.

Kaplan are already based as fuck.

Auxilia look fine. They don't look like classic Kum and shit.

AVA2 Druze for FRRM when? They're mercs that mesh well with the Anaconda and give the French more unit variety without actually needing to make a new unit.

It's such an obvious choice that the chances of CB actually doing it are almost none

alpeh protects people, it goes through hoops to not kill humanos. Nomads on the other hand create AIs, abomination mutantos . God knows what virus and man eating backteria they create on those stationes of theirs.

yes, but we need AD kaplan. a kaplan TAG, some LI and HI kaplans. basic stuff. No one wants the druz, they aren't even muslims .

What would they get out of druze?

> it goes through hoops to not kill humanos

Yeah, it leaves that to PanO and Yu Jing and Combined Army

What? Why do we need more Kaplan stuff? Kaplan are fine as is. Druze is a legit choice to help out the sales of an awesome unit.

Turkish super man or some heretic that mix religions? what is next a singh or kurd sectorial?

Killer or assault hacker with a decent bodyguard to go with it. KHD can help defend an Anaconda (which will hopefully be buffed itself to be a better option) and do general purpose fuckery while AHD makes the sectorial's many DEPs more potent than ever since you can fire them at carbonited foes. Neither would be too powerful for Ariadna since they're not on a crazy platform and don't have a repeater net.

Dude, just fluff your Quapu Khali list as all-Turkish.

Fuck, you could do that with Vanilla.

QK is as Turkish as some Anatol hicks are. It would be as if the representation of pan'o were some aborigenes.

>implying a bunch of abos wouldn't be a hundred times more Australian than the Not!America PanO is currently portrayed as

of course, we know that the core of pano is british, with spicy sprinkle of kiwi and some ocenian US colonies barbaque. this is what makes panocenia the second best faction in the entire game. that and the fact that they finaly understood the folly of protestantism. I don't play them, but I do have respect for the.
But back to the QK. All its units are either barbary pirates, anatolan zelots and harm whores. And anyone knows a bit about history knows that, if it wasn't for the 100 years of so called harem rule turky would rule the world. What we need is a true turk army, non of that janisary infidels that rebel at the drop of a hat. Strong wreslers, man whose style, honor and skill gave birth to europeon knight legends. If there has to be some sort of females, then pick a worthy woman Hafsa Sultana, and not some slavic slave like Hurrem.

Do you have no idea what the word "fluff" means?

We need to bring back that /inf/ bingo, with "real world nationalist shitposting" as a permanent fixture in it.

I'd understand if it was just the same group of Poles or something, but it isn't. Aside from Polish shitposting we've had Korean (who was actually in Norway), Japanese, Russian, Lithuanian, a bunch of other shitty slavic countries I can't remember, and now Turkish.

I was born in germany.

Make the bingo card, dude. It's not that hard of a project.

Because Druze are badwrong guys that genocided Caledonians with glee? Merovingia is all about trade and relations, they don't want to anger their neighbours without reason.

Gee, it's like fluff doesn't matter to slme of you guys.

I think "PanO is an AMERICAN faction" deserves a square.

They were just doing what they were hired to do, and under FRRM they won't be hired to do such things. Maybe the Caledonians should look at the literal bandits they hire and protect before opening their fucking mouths.

And fluff is why I didn't suggest Kaplan, since they're too integrated into Haqq to really fit an Ariadnan army.

I'm pretty lazy, but okay. I'll probably give up halfway through though.

Nah that's mostly just me, and I'm getting bored of harping on about it.

>I'm pretty lazy, but okay. I'll probably give up halfway through though.

Dude, just reward yourself by looking at Infinity butts whenever you complete a square.

>Nah that's mostly just me,

That user proves there is at least one other guy

ESWAT, Olympus, ORC troops, TACTICAL COUNTER TERRORISM.

but thats my take

That's like Israel hiring ISIS-fighters.

> fluff is why I didn't suggest Kaplan, since they're too integrated into Haqq to really fit an Ariadnan army.

You have literally not read Kaplan lore.

If ISIS was a shady PMC that did contract work for a major power hostile to Israel before Israel was legally recognized as its own country, and helped that power commit atrocities to a different section of Israel to the ones hiring them (that are largely disconnected but still work together for reasons of self-defence), that would be true. But considering that comparison completely breaks down as soon as you even begin to consider anything beyond "these people might not like each other much".

I've read quite a bit of the available Kaplan lore, but maybe there's more I haven't found. Perhaps you should me about it.

Man, this Exrah unit fluff is just too heavy.

human-sphere.com/index.php?title=Main_Page

Now show where you got your stuff.

Check out Human Sphere in the OP. Most of the really barebones unit fluff got elaborated on in later editions, and it's all on that website.

human-sphere.com/index.php?title=Main_Page

Also the RPG book, but that doesn't really have much. Just repeating that they're a subsidiary of Beyhan and compete with the Druze for a lot of Sultanate contracts.

What army should I collect if I want to represent pic related?

So you mean the way Israel was selling egyptian and syrian weapons to the muchahedin in afganistan, with help from US and egyptian military?

human-sphere.com/index.php?title=Mercenaries

Where Kaplan are listed

human-sphere.com/index.php?title=Kaplan

>It has also received attack contracts, especially during the Ariadnan Commercial Conflicts and the Paradiso Offensives
> it had its size and operational capability improved to be able to offer its services to third parties.
>But no matter whether they are working for a government or a private company

Yeah come to think of it my initial post was a little too definite, sorry about that. I didn't mean that FRRM couldn't hire Kaplans, just that Druze do a lot of work over broader areas for all kinds of clients rather than being based in the Sultanate like KTS, so they'd be a better candidate for showing up in another faction.

I'm also working from a crunch perspective as well as a fluff one, and Druze are by far the more interesting option for FRRM there.

Why does everyone hate the Pheasant? He seems alright.

>and under FRRM they won't be hired to do such things
Of course they won't. FRRM won't even hire Scarface.

>tfw Hassassins and Black Hand will never kidnap you and turn you into a beautiful woman.

Exactly. Not "good", not "awesome", not "excellent", just "alright". Decent on its own, but loses in competition to alternatives.

Funny thing is, the Human Sphere page on the Iskaller is missing a sentence or two compared to the 1e fluff, namely the bit on the end where it tells you how they got their name.

Grenades are amazing, expecially on a unit that can get closer to the enemy. SAS hidden in the center of a table creates a 16" bubble where he can throw them with speculative fire at BS10. Even outside the +3 range, it's still BS4 to get rid of that nasty TO camo dude in Supressive Fire or Kill a few guys that stand too close to eachother. Sometimes it might be worth spending a few orders.
And in some cases it's just a neat ARO weapon at close range.

I speculative fire regular grenades as often as I can.

E/M grenades against a link (especially HI link) is also pretty great. It's my most common use of Lt order for my Domaru.
