It has been 3 years since this blog has been updated and a lot has changed since my last post with the game of Infinity. Infinity is still the #1 game for me, the game has changed editions and now this blog is going to be rekindled in order to track my own progress this year for modeling, painting, running and attending Infinity ITS tournaments. It is a vehicle for accountability to myself and a centralized location to get my thoughts onto paper on whatever topic for that week/month.
Let's get onto the meat of the topic shall we?
2018 Goals:
- Run 4, quarterly Infinity leagues locally
- Run 4, quarterly Infinity ITS Tournaments
- Paint 1 Theme Army per Quarter:
- Q1: Gundum-Anx; Steel Phalanx
- Q2: Synth-Rats; Morats
- Q3: Heaven Lo-tek; Bakunin
- Q4: Limesicle; ISS
- Attend Rumble on Route 66
- Attend Nova Open 2018
Each of these goals will have some sort of post related to the execution of the goal, for example the events will have After Action Reports written to relay my experiences running these events, the challenges encountered and how they were overcome.
Included below is some of the beginnings of the Theme Armies that I want to finish building and painting for 2018. Each army has a color scheme theme pulled from some inspiration, which will be explained more in depth in later posts.

The larger regional events will employ mission break-downs, army composition and tactics explanation, and just how much preparation put into traveling to these events and what I am doing to improve my finishes.
Previous years I've done OK at these events but recently my time to physically get games in has been limited and mistakes have cropped up with deployment, speed of play, tactical decision making, etc. that have cost me enough that my potential finish position as suffered.
I always have fun at these events even while getting my face smashed in, but I am always looking for new mini challenges in the game to try and swing it back in my favor. Those situations act as learning opportunities and continue to build up the game play experience for myself and my opponent.
That wraps up the first spark for the coming year, Happy Gaming!
