Things that I play: Infinity

Website ( Infinity the game )

I'm not going to even bother trying to hide the fact that I am a HUGE fan of Infinity. It is simply the best wargame I've have EVER played with one of the best miniature ranges you'll ever find, just hop on over to their website and take a look for yourselves. A bit like HoMachine I've been asked if Infinity could be a 40k substitute. As far as I'm concerned the two games couldn't be further apart if they tried. Despite 40k having guns in it, oddly it really doesn't do ranged combat at all well, in fact its a massed close close combat game with guns stuck on and its had its IQ turned down to 10, lets be honest its for people who like rolling lots of dice... why these people don't just play Yahtzee is beyond me. If you like that sort of thing great, if you like things a bit more cerebral then perhaps you should try Infinity. Infinity does many things right, but if it does one thing right it's ranged combat, its brutal, just like it should be because guns are deadly people!!!

I love this miniature more than a grown man should

I'm also a huge fan of Japanese anime, I grew up watching giant Japanese styled robots in the likes of Patlabor, Macross, Appleseed et al. I also loved Akira, Bubblegum Crisis and of course Ghost in the Shell. To say Infinity has taken some of its reference material from these and many other Japanese anime would be the understatement of the century. However they've done so with great care and a loving attention to detail that respects the source material and puts it to exceptionally good use. The universe of Infinity just sits right with me and indeed many of my friends. However its not just an �ber cool background with splendid miniature... oh no its so much more besides...
