So simple and straight up question. Do any of you guys play this game? From what i have seen, it looks fantastic. It has a great mechanic though it has a lot of rules to master. Model wise there are some beautifull sculpts. Scenery. Oh you need tons of it, but there is a massive support market with lots of reasonably priced MDF stuff and ofcourse you can go with mantics deadzone stuff. The Anime/Manga asthetic really appeals to me. But alas this area has like 1 player

There are a few guys round here that have played it, but I haven't. Does look like it could be good, but don't know that much about it.

From what i understand of the rules. Its order based. So each model grants a single order. Those orders can be spent activating as many models or as few as you want. So for example if you have 7 models = 7 orders. You either activate all 7 once, 1 times or a mix and match like 3 models once and 2 models twice.
The game seems to run a 'always your turn' as a model is effectively in a constant state of overwatch and can react to an enemy in los. But unlike 40k where you shoot at the opp figure, in infinity you have varius options including throwing smoke to try and obscure the shots etc.

Looks to be very much a skirmish game, just watching the 'shooting tute' on their website suggests it's going to be one-on-one most of the time but the models do indeed look pretty.

Yeah it isa skirmish game. The series of youtube tutorials help with the basic mechanic. As you delve deeper into the game theres all sorts of chaos and mischief with special rules, hackers, various bots etc etc.
