RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

CASEVAC RULE
In military slang, a Casevac (Casualty Evacuation) refers to the transport and recovery of casualties from the battlefield using non-specialized personnel or vehicles not classified as medical assistance transports. In Infinity, the Casevac rule refers to the transport and carriage of figures in Unconscious or Immobilized states by other miniatures. In game terms, a miniature can only carry an Unconscious or Immobilized model if it has a PH Attribute equal to or higher than that of the model it is trying to carry. Only figures, and not Markers, can perform a Casevac. To perform a Casevac to carry an Unconscious or Immobilized model, it is necessary to be in base contact with that figure and spend one Short Movement Skill. Both figures will remain in base contact as they move across the game table, placing a Casevac Marker on their side. Each time the figure carrying the Unconscious or Immobilized model declares any Order or Skill other than a Short Movement Skill, it will automatically drop the carried miniature. This does not require the spending of an extra order and the declared Order or Skill will be carried out as normal. When the miniature is dropped, it remains in base contact with the figure which carried it. If the miniature was dropped accidentally, the player can replace the Casevac Marker by a PRONE Marker beside the model to remember this. Troops possessing the Baggage Special Skill can carry any miniature no matter their PH Attribute. Moreover, they can perform any Order or Short Skill without automatically dropping the carried figure. Unless scenario conditions specify to the contrary, the maximum number of Unconscious or Immobilized figures a model can carry, using the Casevac rule, is 1. A miniature carrying an Unconscious or Immobilized figure provides one single ARO to each enemy model in LOF. A carried Unconscious or Immobilized model doesnt spend Orders and doesnt generate AROs by itself, but it can be the target of an attack during the active turn of an enemy player.
Impetuous miniatures cannot perform Casevac. A figure entering an Impetuous state (Due to Frenzy or Retreat! for example) will automatically drop the miniature it is carrying.

Template Weapons against figures in Casevac If, when performing an attack with a Template Weapon against two figures in Casevac, and either one of them is affected by the Template, then it is compulsory to apply its effects to both figures. Close Combat Attacks against figures in Casevac As with a BS Attack, in the active turn, when performing a CC Attack against a Casevac, it is compulsory to declare against which miniature the attack is made. If the target of the CC Attack is the Unconscious miniature, then the player must apply the Coup de Grce rule (Without making any roll to hit, and no ARM Roll is allowed). If the attack is performed against the model which is carrying the Unconscious figure, and it declares any Order or Skill other than a Short Movement Skill, it will automatically drop the Unconscious miniature. Under no circumstances will the Unconscious figure provide the Modifier of +3 to CC for being an allied model engaged in Close Combat.
NOTE: The Casevac rule can be adapted to transport pieces of equipment or scenery items, as indicated by the scenario, or by mutual agreement of player.

Example of Casevac Rule A Prowler, in his active turn, declares a Move + Carry with an Unconscious miniature Order. He moves the first part of his first MOV Attribute value, until reaching base contact with a Reverend Custodier in the Unconscious state, where he ends his Movement, and picks up the miniature. In his next Order, the Prowler declares Move + Jump, to cross a scenery element, and as Jump is a Short Movement Skill, both figures are moved across the table, remaining in base contact.
Short Skill of the Order, he will Move again. But a Yaogat Sniper with LOF, declares he will Shoot as an ARO against the active figure (as he cannot react to the Unconscious Custodier). The Prowler declares Shoot as the second Short Skill of his Order - this is a BS Short Skill, which means the figure automatically drops the Unconscious figure. The player replaces the Casevac Marker by a PRONE Marker besides the Custodier to remember that

With a new Order, the Prowler declares, as the first

Rules

Ballistic Skill Attacks against figures in Casevac In the active turn, when performing a BS attack against a Casevac, it is compulsory to declare against which miniature the attack is made. When shooting a figure which is carrying an Unconscious or Immobilized model, it is always possible to accidentally hit the carried miniature, and vice versa. As figures in Casevac are in base contact, it is compulsory to always apply a Modifier of 6 (In addition to corresponding Modifiers for Distance, Cover, Special Skills such as Camouflage and Hiding etc.) to all Ballistic Skill attacks or similar rolls performed against either figure. If the roll misses, and the Failure Category (FC) is equal or less than the Modifier of 6, then it will be the other miniature which receives the impact, causing it to perform an ARM Roll.

Prowler is not carrying it anymore. The Prowler beats the Yaogat in the dice rolls, who then fails his Guts Roll, moves to Cover and loses LOF.

Spending a new Order, the Prowler declares, as the first Short Skill of the Order, to carry the Unconscious miniature (replacing the PRONE Marker by a Casevac Marker) and, as not receiving any ARO, to Move. With this, the players turn ends. His adversary, now in his active turn, declares he will move his Yaogat to again get LOF to the Prowler and the Custodier. The Prowler declares it will Dodge, so it automatically drops the Custodier again. The Yaogat, declaring it will Shoot as the second Short Skill of the Order, splits the B 2 of its Sniper Rifle between both figures - One shot against the Prowler, which will be a Shoot vs Dodge Face to Face Roll, and one shot against the Unconscious Custodier, which will be a Normal Roll.

Example of a Ballistic Attack against a Casevac A Lasiq, in his active turn, declares he will Shoot at a Knight of Montesa (Combi Rifle + Light Grenade Launcher) who is carrying an Unconscious Acontecimento Regular. The Lasiq unloads the complete B 3 of his Viral Rifle into the Knight of Montesa, who reacts by shooting in ARO. It is a Face to Face Roll, and dice are rolled. The weapons of both figures have a Distance Modifier of 0, and neither of them has Cover. The Lasiq (BS 12) must then apply a Modifier of 6 for shooting at a Casevac. The Knight of Montesa (BS 14) must apply a Modifier of 3 due to the CH: Mimetism Special Skill the Lasiq possesses. Dice are rolled, and the Lasiq gets 2, 5, and 11. Meanwhile, the Knight of Montesa gets a 4. This dice roll nullifies the Lasiqs 2, but there are still two other shots from the fearsome Hassassin to apply. The 5 is a success, which obliges the Knight of Montesa to make two BTS Rolls (Due the Viral Special Ammunition), and also nullifies his roll dice of 4. But the 11 is a failure with a Failure Category of 5 (FC 5), less than the Casevac Modifier (-6). Therefore, the Unconscious Acontecimento Regular must make two BTS Rolls. Example 2 of a Ballistic Attack against a Casevac The famous Bounty Hunter, Lucien Sforza, has a mission to eliminate a PanOceanian Hexa, who is now in an Unconscious state. However, a Swiss Guard performs a Casevac to take him out of the danger zone. In his active turn, Sforza declares he will Shoot at the Unconscious Hexa. Being in Unconscious state, the TO Camouflage of the Hexa is disconnected, so Sforza only needs to consider the Distance Modifiers and also the Modifier of 6 for the Casevac rule. If he fails due to this Modifier of 6 then, it will be the Swiss Guard who will be hit. Example of a Template Weapon Attack against a Casevac An Asura, in her active turn, declares a BS Attack with her Nanopulser (Direct Template Weapon) against two Moderators who are performing a Casevac. The Template of the Nanopulser only reaches the Unconscious figure, but as this is a Casevac, both models must make a BTS Roll. Example of a Template Weapon Attack against a Casevac A 45th Highlander, in his active turn, declares a Move + CC Order against a two enemy figures performing a Casevac: a Wu Mng carrying an Unconscious Imperial Agent Crane Rank. As the Crane is the more valuable target, the Highlander declares his CC Attack against him. The Crane Agent is in an Unconscious state, so the Highlander is not required to make any roll to hit, as this will be a Coup de Grce. The Wu Mng reacts by shooting, but as he is not the target of the Highlanders attack, he will make a Normal Roll. However, when declaring Shooting, he automatically drops the Unconscious Crane Agent. Rolls are made: the Wu Mng fails his shot and the Highlander eliminates the Crane Agent because, being Unconscious against a Coup de Grce, he cannot make an ARM Roll.

So, the Order ends with the Highlander and the Wu Mng engaged in CC, and the figure of the Crane Agent being removed from the game table. If the Wu Mng had reacted with a successful BS Attack, then the Highlander would still engage with the Unconscious Crane Agent and apply the Coup de Grce equally. But if the Wu Mng had engaged the Highlander in CC Combat, it would have made a NormalRoll to hit. If the Highlander survived the CC Attack of the Wu Mng, then the Order would end with both models engaged in CC, and the figure of the Crane Agent being removed from the game table. Example of a Casevac and a Fireteam The Moderator-1, in his active turn, LINK Leader of a 3 Moderators Fireteam, declares a Move + carry with an Unconscious miniature Order. In the next Order, the Moderator-2 becomes the LINK Leader of the Fireteam and declares a Move + shoot Order. The rest of the Fireteam members declare the same Order, so the Moderator-1 drops automatically the model he was carrying in Casevac

HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT RULES

In such as massive area as the Human Sphere, with wide and varied frontier territories ranging from deep space to wild planetary surfaces, the conduct of special operations can encounter extremely dangerous environmental or biotical conditions. The threats Infinity troops may have to face will vary depending on environmental conditions. These could be alien or human-designed micro-organisms hostile to human life, or maybe aggressive fauna such as highly developed predators or swarms of tiny voracious or poisonous creatures - the possibilities are wide and varied.
Hostile Environment Rules unify all possibilities into a single

No matter the nature of the environmental threat, these

system that simplifies the game mechanics, allowing it to be automatic and easy.

In game terms, when in an area marked as a Hostile Environment, each time a figure rolls a previously determined dice result (A 20, for example) due to an Order declaration or ARO (It is not applied to Guts Rolls or ARM rolls, for example) it can suffer Damage, and it must make an ARM Roll. The number the player gets on the dice roll to provoke the damage is always the natural number rolled on the dice, ignoring Modifiers applied to that roll. For example, in a Hostile Environment where 20 is the number that triggers damage, if the player gets a 20 when rolling the dice for Shooting, the rule will be applied even if that player had a Modifier of -3 to that BS roll. The ARM Roll caused by a Hostile Environment ignores Cover Modifiers.

(See Game Example-1).

One of the necessary conditions for applying the Hostile Environment Rule is that the Order starts or ends or is performed inside an area previously designated as a Hostile Environment The game conditions under which the ARM Roll is applied will vary depending on the Hostility Level of the environment, determined by the scenario, by mutual accord between players or through a d20 roll on the following chart.

Rules
3

Depending on the nature of the environmental threat, the scenario, or just a mutual accord between players, the ARM Roll can be replaced by a BTS Roll or even a PH Roll.

HOSTILITY LEVEL Insecure Adverse Dangerous Aggressive Lethal Savage

d20 ROLL 1-5 6-10 11-14 15-17 18-19 20

GAME CONDITIONS

Only if roll dice is 20. Only if roll dice is 19 or 20. Only if roll dice is 18 or more. Only if roll dice is 17 or more. Only if roll dice is 16 or more. Only if roll dice is 14 or more.

Example of table configuration using the Hostile Environment Rule Players A and B decide to provide more variety for their skirmish battles by adding some areas with Hostile Environment to the game table. First, they decide to create a Hostile Environment area with a Dangerous Hostility Level covering 4 inches on either side of the central line of the table. So, while inside that area, each time a figure gets an 18 or more on its dice rolls in Order or ARO, it will suffer the consequences. Once the conditions under which the Hostile Environment rule is applied are determined, both players must decide the intensity of the attack they might suffer from the Hostile Environment. By mutual accord, they decide it will be Damage 10, the equivalent of a d20 roll with a result between 7-10 on the Attribute-Damage Chart. And they decide that ARM is the Attribute to be rolled against. Now they have the Hostile Environment zone totally configured. To make the game more intense, they also decide to add two areas equivalent to a Circular Template, one on each side of the table. Both are Aggressive Hostility Level areas, so figures may suffer consequences for each roll made inside the Templates in which they get a 17 or more. To balance things, both players decide to choose the equivalent of a d20 roll with a result between 1-3 on the Attribute-Damage Chart, so figures must succeed at a PH roll to avoid being Immobilized. To finish, both players decide the area between three scenery items they have placed on the game table will be a Variable Hostility Level zone. So, when each game turn starts, they will make the rolls necessary to determine the changeable conditions of that area of the game table. And so, in this easy way, these players have created a game completely different from ones they have played before. Hostile Environment Game Example-1 An Auxilia unit, composed of an Auxilia and an Auxbot, is inside an area marked as Aggressive Hostility Level zone (ARM Roll if 17 or more is rolled on the dice), causing Damage 11 applied against ARM. The Auxilia and Auxbot declare the same Order, to Move and Shoot. The Movement ends outside the Hostile Environment area, and it is at the end of their Movement where they both decide to shoot. The Auxilia must perform the corresponding rolls for his shots, but not the Auxbot, as it has a Flamethrower which is a Direct Template weapon which doesnt require a roll. The Auxilia succeeds on one roll, getting a 9, but the other two rolls of his Burst fail, getting a 17 and a 19. Now the player must apply the Hostile Environment rule because the figure, even though shooting outside the Hostile Environment zone, started his Order inside the zone. Moreover, he must make 2 ARM Rolls, because he got 2 rolls that, following the Hostile Environment rule, cause Damage. However, his Auxbot doesnt suffer damage because it has not rolled dice thanks to its Flamethrower. Hostile Environment Game Example-2 A Yu Jing Ninja is engaged in CC against an ALEPH Myrmidon inside a Hostile Environment with Lethal Hostility Level (ARM Roll if 16 or higher is rolled on the dice). When making the CC rolls, the Myrmidon gets an 18, a result that activates the Hostile Environment Rule. The Ninja gets a 17, a Critical success, but it is also a value that activates the Hostile Environment rule. Both figures must make an ARM Roll due to the environment.

The Attribute required for the ARM, BTS o PH Roll and the Damage value or the effect can be determined by the scenario, by mutual accord between players or through a d20 roll on the following chart. d20 ROLL 1--3 4--6 7--10 11--14 15 16--18 19 20 d20 ROLL PH PH -3 ARM/ BTS ARM/ BTS ARM + BTS ARM/ BTS ARM/ BTS ARM/ BTS DAMAGE Immobilized * Immobilized * 10 11 11 12 12 (DA Special Ammunition) 13

NOTE*: The Immobilized status caused by the Hostile Environment rule can only be removed by a troop possessing the Engineer Special Skill, it is not removed by the use of Reset.

IMPORTANT

The roll on the Hostility Level-Attribute-Damage Chart must be made before Deployment.

As determined by the scenario, or by mutual accord between players, a dice roll can be made for each of the Hostile Environments on the game table, or just one roll for all of them.

Rules
4

In the same manner, the areas of effect of the Hostile Environments will be determined the scenario or by mutual accord between players. They can be the area of a Circular Template, zones of the game table delimited by scenery items, or even one of the of the two halves of the table or the whole table itself! Variable Hostility Level. Some scenarios, or a mutual agreement between players, can see the addition of this rule. Due to the variability of the Hostile Environment, rolls on the Hostility Level-Attribute-Damage Chart may be made before the start of each game turn instead of prior to Deployment. So in this way, the game conditions change each turn.

Hostile Environment Game Example-3 A Moderator in his active turn shoots at a Zhanshi who is behind cover inside an Insecure Level Hostile Environment (ARM Roll if 20 is rolled). The Zhanshi replies in ARO by shooting but gets a 20 on his BS Roll. As the Moderator got two successes on his BS Rolls, the Zhanshi must make two ARM Rolls, counting the Cover Modifier, against to the Moderators shots and also an ARM Roll due to the Hostile Environment, but this one is made without applying the Cover Modifier. Hostile Environment Game Example-4 A Daktari, a Nomad Doctor, placed in a secure area, activates her Zondbot, a Ghost: Servant Remote, declaring a Move and Doctor Order. The Zondbot Moves towards an Unconscious figure and enters an area previously designated as Adverse Level Hostile Environment (ARM Roll if 19 or 20 is rolled). However, the Daktari gets a 20 on the WIP Roll when using her Doctor Special Skill. In this situation, the player cannot apply the Hostile Environment rule because the figure which declares the Order and rolls the dice is not inside the Hostile Environment, and the figure which is inside the Hostile Environment is not declaring or making any roll. Hostile Environment Game Example-5 A Hassassin Ragik decides to perform an AD: Combat Jump and land inside a Hostile Environment area. However, he fails his PH Roll and the Dispersion obliges him to land outside the Hostile Environment area. The player does not have to apply the Hostile Environment Rule as the Hassassin has neither started, ended, nor performed the Order inside the Hostile Environment area. Hostile Environment Game Example-6 An Akal Sikh Commando performs an AD: Combat Jump, but fails his PH Roll and the Dispersion causes him to land inside a Hostile Environment area. The player must apply the Hostile Environment rule, as the Sikh Commando has ended his Order inside the Hostile Environment area Hostile Environment Game Example-7 A Kurgat who is inside an Adverse Level Hostile Environment (ARM Roll if 19 or 20 are rolled) gets a 20 when rolling dice for Shooting. This area has been declared to act against the BTS Attribute, with Damage of 12 (DA Special Ammunition). This type of Special Ammunition would normally force him to make two ARM Rolls, but in this case, as BTS was chosen as the resisting Attribute, the figure has to make two BTS Rolls.

Back-up: Cube 2.0
Roll, without rolling any dice. This model of Cube facilitates recovery by CUBEVAC. The Cube 2.0 allows to its user to automatically succeed at the CUBEVAC
protection systems, but also has a link connection to the data sphere. This resource allows the automatic update of backups. The Cube 2.0 regularly connects to safe servers, created ad hoc in the data sphere, and it also files an update of the latest version of the data composing the Sheut in different virtual locations, as well as physical hard drives located in security vaults. The Cube 2.0s also have the ability to find, acquire and install the latest software, security and service updates for its different operating components. In this way, the Cube 2.0 user is constantly connected and is fully assured of recording and continuity of his personality and memories. At present, all the advanced Lhost models (Bodhisattva, Angm...) carry a series Cube 2.0. Sheut (ancient Egyptian: Shadow) name for the data stored in a Cube that comprises a personality. The term Sheut refers only to the pure data and it doesnt include the genetic sample that all Cubes carry. [Extracted from the Universal Conciliar Dictionary. Simplified edition. Manaheim, Concilium Prima.

The benefits of the Cube 2.0 are only applied when playing a campaign, and only to those troops who appear in the Spec-Ops chart as possessing the Cube 2.0 in their profiles. The Cube 2.0 is vulnerable to E/M Special Ammunition and to the Sepsitor. It is considered that all troops belonging to the ALEPH Army List shown in the Infinity Human Sphere book, as well as all those troops possessing the G: Mnemonica Special Skill, have a Cube 2.0.
The Cube 2.0 is the second generation of the memory, skill and personality recording device. This is not a mere technological improvement over previous models, but a genuine evolutionary leap of the Cubes own concept. The Cube 2.0 not only has the most advanced data storage and

Civvie
A troop possessing this Special Skill will apply the Civvies Special Rule (See Infinity Human Sphere) for its use.

Fireteam: Enomotarchos
This Special Skill allows composition of Infinity Fireteams, but with a maximum of 4 figures. These Fireteams must consist of the owner of this Special Skill and a maximum of 3 troops of the same unit type. (For example, a Myrmidon Officer and 3 Myrmidons, or Machaon, Myrmidon Doctor-Officer and 3 Myrmidons). The formation, activity and reformation of these Fireteams uses the rules for Infinity Fireteams (See the book Infinity Human Sphere). However, with this Special Skill the restriction of a maximum of 1 Fireteam in the army is not applied. During the Deployment Phase, the player of a Sectorial Army possessing troops with the Enomotarchos Special Skill can compose as many Fireteams as he has chosen troops possessing this Special Skill for his Army List. Sectorial Armies possessing troops with the Enomotarchos Special Skill can only compose Fireteams following the Enomotarchos rule, and do not have the possibility of composing Fireteams by applying the usual Fireteam rules.

When a Fireteam: Enomotarchos is broken, then it is necessary to have a figure possessing the Enomotarchos Special Skill on the game table to be able to compose a new Fireteam around him, using the Lieutenant Special Order.
Enomotarchos Special Skill can only compose Fireteams following the Enomotarchos rules and cannot compose Fireteams following the usual Fireteam rule.
In Ancient Greece, the Enomotia was the minimum unit by which the phalanx was organized. Each Enomotia was controlled by a kind of non-commissioned officer called an Enomotarchos. This formation seemed to have been the source of inspiration for the Fireteams of the Assault Subsection, who are strongly influenced by Greek culture.

Fireteam: Haris Level 1

This Special Skill allows composition of a Haris Fireteam, but with a maximum of 3 figures. This Haris Fireteam must consist of the owner of this Special Skill and a maximum of 2 troops belonging to the same unit of the owner (eg. An Odalisque possessing Fireteam: Haris L1 and 2 Odalisques). The formation, activity and reformation of this Fireteam uses the rules for Infinity Fireteams (See the book Infinity Human Sphere) with the following exceptions:

The Tohaa player is not limited by the restriction of only

During the battle, the player must spend the Lieutenant Special Order if he wants to compose a new Tohaa Triad. Skill in their troop profile are allowed to be part of a Tohaa Triad.

It is not allowed to create a Haris Fireteam composed of an Odalisque possessing Fireteam: Haris L1, plus 1 Odalisque and 1 Hafza).
The Haqqislamite army was the first to create and deploy minimum support and assistance units for their Fireteams. The Haris Fireteams facilitate the manoeuvre of the main Fireteam, providing covering fire, or acting as a separate element to distract the enemy. The Haqqislamite Military Doctrine Command, whose tactical philosophy is based around the use of light units, promoted the development of these types of combat units, operating in conjunction with traditional Fireteams with exceptional results. In the Sectorial Armies that comprise the entire Sword of Allah, the NCO in charge of these support groups receives the name of Haris (guardian, protector). Seeing the evident success of the Haris Fireteams, the other armies of the Sphere emulated the Haqqislamite forces, using the same tactical pattern, and keeping the term Haris for their respective NCOs.

G: Mnemonica.

Journalist
The Journalists are professional war correspondents accustomed to risking their lives searching for the most exclusive news. The presence of a Journalist on the battlefield, transmitting only information authorized by Intelligence, always praises the work of the troops, catapulting some of them into the spotlight as heroes of the mass media, or just enhancing their reputation amongst their commanding officers. In game terms, when playing a campaign, if at the end of a scenario, the player has a figure possessing the Journalist Special Skill, in Normal state on the game table, he can apply a Bonus of +3 to the CUBEVAC Roll, and also a Bonus to the Promotion Roll, which varies depending on the Journalist Special Skill Level the figure possesses. The Journalist Bonuses are not cumulative with each other. No matter how many miniatures possessing the Journalist Special Skill the player has, only a single Journalist Bonus (the highest) can be applied once at the end of the scenario to the CUBEVAC Roll and the Promotion Roll. The Journalists, while considered to be a Mercenary Troop, can be enlisted by any faction belonging to the Human Sphere (PanOceania, Yu Jing, Ariadna, Haqqislam, Nomads, ALEPH...) and their corresponding Sectorial Armies when playing campaigns in the Infinity Tournament System (ITS). However, unless the troop profile indicates to the contrary, it is not allowed to add them to a Combined Army force, (including their Sectorial Armies), or Tohaa army lists.

Fireteam: Tohaa
The Tohaa are a very gregarious race, used to teamwork to achieve common targets, and for whom the number 3 has a great sociological relevance. This racial characteristic is reflected in their combat doctrine, which allows the quick composition of 3 member Fireteams, highly co-operative although they may have completely different training and skills. However, amongst the Tohaa there are also loners and troops whose military specialty doesnt allow participation in a Fireteam. In game terms, the Fireteam: Tohaa Special Skill allows composition of Fireteams, even if its user is not part of a Sectorial Army. However, the Tohaa only can compose Fireteams with a maximum of 3 members, called Tohaa Triads. The Tohaa Triads can be comprised of troops with different unit types, but all of them must have the Fireteam: Tohaa Special Skill. To form and manage Tohaa Triads, the Infinity Fireteam rules must be applied, with the following exception:

The Tohaa Triads can have a maximum of 3 members. The Tohaa Triads can be composed of troops of the same

regiment/ unit, or by troops belonging to different units, as the player prefers. The three models of the Tohaa Triad can belong to different regiments or units, or two of them can belong to the same and the third to a different one, as the player chooses.

Level 1. Applies a Bonus of +3 to the Promotion Roll. Level 2. Applies a Bonus of +6 to the Promotion Roll. Level 3. Applies a Bonus of +9 to the Promotion Roll.

The motto of the good war correspondent is: Everything for the audience! The Journalists are a morale boost for the troops, because, thanks to them they can become true media stars. Most of the times, the Journalists are civilian professionals assigned to specific units or military operations. However, sometimes they are military operatives from the Public Relationships Divisions of the armed forces, as happens with the famous Aoidoi of the S.S.S. All information provided by the Journalists has been approved by Intelligence, which controls the activities of these correspondents with an iron hand.

Concilium Convention. Any hostile action performed against a Journalist will be penalized by the international courts.

Number 2
The miniature possessing this Special Skill is the next in the chain of command to the Linked Team Leader of a Fireteam. So, if the Number 2 is part of a Fireteam, and the Linked Team Leader is dead or falls Unconscious, then he will take the leadership of the Fireteam automatically, without spending any Order or ARO, becoming the Linked Team Leader the Link Leader Marker must be placed besides him - and avoiding the breaking of the Fireteam. This Special Skill works automatically and its use is not optional.
The Number 2 is the Fireteams second in command and is accountable to the Combat Forces lieutenant and the Fireteam Leader for the discipline and safety of the Fireteams soldiers. Number 2s are designated when organizing the Fireteams, establishing a clear chain of command to prevent disorganization when they are engaged with the enemy. Number 2s are not very common due to the significant experience required to deal effectively with the chaotic situation caused by the fall of the Fireteam Leader

specific functions (Such as performing some specific actions, with corresponding rolls to achieve them) the owner of this Special Skill can perform the same role as an Engineer, but applies a cumulative Modifier of 3 to the roll. However, in that situation, a Specialist Troop cannot repair Disabled weapons or Equipment or perform the usual tasks allowed by the Engineer Special Skill description. For example: if in a scenario, without the Specialist Troops Scenario Special Rule, an Engineer must make a WIP-3 Roll to achieve a scenario objective, the owner of this Special Skill can substitute for the Engineer but must make a WIP-6 Roll. However, in that situation, the owner of the Specialist Troop Special Skill cannot repair Disabled weapons or Equipment, or deactivate Mines.
In the Special Operations units it is common to see the presence of a member possessing some technical skills, usually focused, but not exclusively, on intrusion and counter-security techniques. Sometimes, these operatives have undertaken specific training courses, but it is also often the case that their knowledge comes from their own experience after years of service and a long career of being part of covert activities teams.

WEAPONry
Dual Weaponry
All figures possessing 2 BS weapons that are exactly the same (Two Rifles, two Combi Rifles, two Boarding Shotguns, two Light Flamethrowers, etc.) can use the profile of that weapon, applying a Bonus of +1 to its Burst (B). This rule is only applied in the active turn. With MULTI weapons the Bonus is applied to the corresponding B of the type of ammunition being used. Example: a MULTI Sniper Rifle, in an active turn, will have B 3 shooting AP or DA Special Ammunition, but only B 2 shooting Integrated Special Ammunition (AP + DA). A MULTI Rifle shooting Normal Ammunition, in an active turn, will have B 4, when shooting Special Ammunition B 3, and when shooting Integrated Special Ammunition, B 2. For example: a miniature having 2 D.E.P.s (A Weapon which has a single shot, and with B 1) who applies the Bonus, can perform an attack with Burst (B) 2, consuming then, in one single Order, the projectiles from both D.E.P. The Dual Weaponry rule is not applied if both weapons are not exactly the same. For example, if a troop possesses a Combi Rifle and a MULTI Rifle, or a Chain Rifle and a Nanopulser, he cannot apply this rule.

Special Ammunition
Shock Special Ammunition This kind of Special Ammunition is characterized by its higher lethality compared with standard ammunition. In game terms, the Shock Special Ammunition rule has not changed in respect of what was published in the 2nd Edition of the Infinity Book. But the appearance of new Special Skills requires the information about this Special Ammunition be expanded.
Shock Special Ammunition causes those figures having 1 Wound (W), after failing an ARM roll, to pass directly to the Dead state, ignoring the Unconscious state. This special effect doesnt apply to miniatures whose profile has a base Wounds (W) value higher than 1 (Such as Heavy Infantry in powered armour), troops whose W value has been increased from 1 (Such those with the Striga Special Skill) or to figures with a Structure (STR) Attribute instead of Wound (W), such as REMs or T.A.G.s. In such cases, the damage received must be considered

Thanks to this Bonus, in an active turn, a figure possessing 2

Rifles, two Light Flamethrowers) can place the Template twice, both on the same target or directed against two different targets if desired. This new version of the 2 Direct Template weapons rule updates and replaces the previous rule present in the Infinity Basic Book.

It is not allowed to use this Bonus to the B value when the attack is a Long Skill which consumes a complete Order (Intuitive Attack, Speculative Shot). If the Dual Weaponry rule is used with limited ammunition weapons (Blitzen, D.E.P. Panzerfaust...) then to apply the Bonus to the Burst (B) always implies the consumption of one more projectile.

other with the normal ARM value, and the last 2 rolls must be BTS rolls, due to the Stun Special Ammunition. The player succeeds at one of the ARM rolls, but fails the other, and also fails the 2 BTS rolls. The Domaru loses 2 Wounds, one from the normal ammo and the other from one of the Stun Special Ammunition hits, so it passes to the Unconscious state. The effect of the second impact from the Stun Special Ammunition is not applied, as the figure is in an Unconscious state. In a later Order, the Unconscious Domaru receives 2 impacts from normal ammunition. It fails one of the ARM rolls, so it then passes to the Dead state. Example 2 of Stun Special Ammunition An Asura, in an active turn, receives 3 hits from Stun Special Ammunition. When performing the BTS rolls, it fails the first two of them, so it loses 2 Wounds, passing to the Unconscious state and its player doesnt perform the other BTS roll, because it would have no effect. However, as the miniature possesses the V: No Wound Incapacitation Special Skill, which allows it to keep acting in an Unconscious state, the Asura remains active on the battlefield. Any further Stun impact it receives will not have any effect on it as it is in an Unconscious state. Example 3 of Stun Special Ammunition A Dofi, in an active turn, shoots its MULTI Rifle against a target, declaring he is going to use Stun Special Ammunition. Therefore, the B of his weapon is reduced to 2. Example 4 of Stun Special Ammunition During the Deployment Phase, a player declares his Veteran Kazak with a T2 Rifle has loaded it with Stun Special Ammunition. So, during the battle, this will be the only type of ammunition his weapon can shoot.
The term Stun Special Ammunition embraces different types of non-lethal ammunition (Electrical, chemical, low impact, etc.) designed with the purpose of incapacitating the target without killing it. This is a type of ammunition characteristic of police and antiterrorist operations. It is used in riot control and hostage operations, missions requiring the capturing alive of the targets, and also those undertaken in sensitive areas, as badly pressurized zones.

Stun Special Ammunition This is a kind of non-lethal Special Ammunition, designed to incapacitate the target, leaving it unconscious without killing it. In game terms, the Stun Special Ammunition works exactly the same as the normal ammo, but with the following exceptions: The Attribute to resist the effect of this Special Ammunition is BTS. An Unconscious model which fails its BTS Roll against Stun Special Ammunition doesnt pass to the Dead state. Any figure in an Unconscious state receiving a successful impact from this Special Ammunition will ignore its effect. The Stun Special Ammunition roll will be always the last in the ARM/BTS Roll sequence. This Special Ammunition has no effect on figures possessing the Structure (STR) Attribute instead of Wounds (W) like REMs or T.A.G.s, or those troops having the Total Immunity Special Skill, and it is not required that any of these troops perform the BTS roll. So, when shooting Stun Special Ammunition against these troops, the roll will never be a Face to Face roll. With those miniatures possessing Special Skills that allow them to act in an Unconscious state (Such as V: Dogged, V: No Wound Incapacitation...), while they are in the Unconscious state with their Special Skill active, Stun Special Ammunition will have no effect on them.
Stun Speci al Ammunition. NOTES

A figure in an Unconscious state due to Stun Special Ammunition and who receives one (or several) Wounds due to any other kind of ammunition will still pass to the Dead state.

Miniatures in an Unconscious state due to Stun Special Ammunition can be healed by a troop possessing the Doctor Special Skill, or Paramedics, or by Regeneration, AutoMediKit as with normal ammunition. Those miniatures in an Unconscious state due to Stun Special Ammunition are counted as casualties when applying the rules of Retreat! If the scenario allows it, or by mutual accord of the players, the Stun Special Ammunition can be carried by MULTI weapons. In this case, it works as any other Special Ammunition, added to those this weapon is loaded with in its weapon profile. However, its effect cannot be combined with the other Special Ammunitions (For example: you cannot shoot AP + Stun Ammunition, or DA + Stun Ammunition). In the same way, if the scenario, allows it, or by mutual accord of the players, the Stun Special Ammunition can be fired by those weapons that carry only one type of Special Ammunition (For example: an AP Rifle). In that case, the weapon could only shoot Stun Special Ammunition, and its player must indicate that when deploying the miniature. This new version of the Stun Special Ammunition updates and replaces the previous version present in the Infinity Basic Book Example 1 of Stun Special Ammunition During a firefight the Domaru Ikeda, receives 4 hits. One of them is from AP Special Ammunition, one from normal ammunition, and the other 2 are Stun Special Ammunition. The player rolls dice to check if his figure can resist the damage. One of the rolls is made with the ARM value halved due the AP Special Ammunition, the

Swarm Special Ammunition Biotechnological ammunition that works via area saturation. In game terms, resisting Swarm Special Ammunition requires a BTS Roll instead of an ARM Roll, it has the effect of the Shock Special Ammunition (Applying its rules) and you always place a Circular Template at the point of impact. The Template of the Swarm Special Ammunition lasts throughout the game turn in which it was fired, and it is considered to be a Low Visibility Area, of infinite height. Moreover, the lethal effect of this ammunition remains active while the Template is on the table, so any figure or Marker, friend or foe, that makes contact with this Template must also make the corresponding BTS Roll. Equally, each figure or Marker, friend or foe, that declares an Order or ARO when it is inside or in contact with the Template, must make a BTS Roll.
Swarm ammunition is vulnerable to FIRE Special Ammunition, removing the Circular Template if it is affected by this kind of ammunition.

The Swarm Special Ammunition is a type of lethal and offensive ammunition, so it always requires a valid target to be fired at. The player cannot use it as if it were Smoke Special Ammunition, shooting it at locations where there are no enemy miniatures.

Game example of Swarm Special Ammunition Hoaakan, veteran Sakiel from the Tohaa army, is being attacked by Yu Jing troops. He launches a Swarm Grenade in ARO at his adversaries, a Haramaki and a Keisotsu, who are attacking him with a Coordinated Order. The veteran Sakiel wins the Face to Face Roll and places a Circular Template over the Haramaki, which he declared as the target, also affecting the Keisotsu, so both figures must now make the corresponding BTS Roll. The Keisotsu fails his BTS Roll and, being a 1 Wound figure and applying the Shock Special Ammunition, he is removed from the game table. The Haramaki, possessing a BTS value of 3, succeeds at the roll, but he is still inside the area of effect of the Circular Template, so he voluntarily fails his Guts Roll to try to exit the Template area, but his movement value is not enough, so he stays inside the area of effect of the Swarm Special Ammunition Circular Template. In the next Order, the Haramaki declares to shoot at the Sakiel, but being inside the area of effect of the Circular Template, he must apply a Modifier of 3 to his BS Attribute (Due to the Low Visibility Area rule). Moreover, at the end of the Order, he must make a BTS Roll, due to the damage caused by staying in contact with the Swarm Special Ammunition.

Swarm Ammunition is very special ammunition that uses diminutive creatures whose measurements are stated in micrometers as its basic components. These creatures are usually insectoid, and of alien origin, or an artificial creation through genetic engineering. The Swarm Ammunition used by the Tohaa is a flying insect called Gnaasos, from Sareota, a Tohaa Colonial planet. The Tohaa have modified the Gnaasos for military functions, increasing their aggression levels, enhancing the lethality of the toxins they secrete and drastically reducing the longevity of these insects. The Swarm Ammunition is created by encapsulating these miniscule beings in state of lethargy inside a receptacle which, when exploding, launches and and disperses them out with great violence. The detonation of the container creates a dark cloud of angry creatures that will attack anything that moves, generating a lethal area in which visibility is highly reduced. However, the damage produced by the explosion, as well as the reduced longevity of the insects, makes the cloud disperse by itself, preventing possible biocontamination of the area

weapons
Chain-colt
A Direct Template BS weapon that uses the Small Teardrop Template, which cannot be used in CC. The Chain-colt allows performance of Intuitive Attacks. The roll to Dodge this kind of weapon is PH-6.
The Chain-colt, basically a red-hot shrapnel launcher, is the light and compact version of the Chain Rifle. Although both weapons work the same way, the Chain-colt possesses a smaller electric trigger, so it has a shorter range. However, the cylindrical magazine which contains the inner feeding chain allows a faster reloading speed. Its compact size (Which allows it to be hidden easily) shorter range and lack of specific instruction required to use this weapon, has made the Chain-colt the ideal weapon for urban guerrilla warfare. Produced under license in many countries, it is a weapon currently in widespread use throughout the Human Sphere. Those versions implanted into a users body are illegal under international law. range than the previous Generation-1, and also allows more accurate target discrimination, reducing collateral damage. The new version keeps and improves the basic philosophy of the E/Marat as close quarters weapon, quite useful to equal the imbalance in confrontations between light forces with a low technological profile and highly technified units.

ATTENTION: This weapon affects Cubes, deactivating

them, and is forbidden by the Concilium Convention. Its use will be penalized by the international courts.

Flammenspeer
An Expendable Ballistic Skill weapon firing projectiles loaded with FIRE Special Ammunition, placing a Circular Template at the point of impact. The Flammenspeer has B 1 and can only make 2 shots. This weapon is not vulnerable to the E/M Special Ammunition, and cannot be used in CC.
The Flammenspeer (German term which means Spear of Fire), conceived as an expendable antipersonnel support weapon, is an armament system which has been improved over the years thanks to technological advances. The development of auto-propelled micro-munitions allowed the old expendable single projectile models to carry more powerful ammunition and dual magazines without an increase in weight. Current Flammenspeer models have multiple-stage auto-propelled projectiles that prevent the risk of suffering damage from gases ejected when the propellant charge activates, igniting beyond the point of danger to the gunner. The Flammenspeer has been designed mainly as an antipersonnel weapon, but it has demonstrated its effectiveness against light vehicles. The weapon concept of the Flammenspeer has been also developed by the Tohaa military industry, which has designed a dual firing system to be mounted on vehicles and heavy tactical units.

ATTENTION: This weapon is forbidden by the Concilium

Convention. Its use will be penalized by the international courts

E/Marat
Direct Template Weapon (Big Teardrop Template) that shoots E/M Special Ammunition causing Damage 13. It cannot be used in CC. The E/Marat requires LOF to be fired, and it allows performance of Intuitive Attacks. This weapon is vulnerable to E/M Special Ammunition.

Rules

This new version of the E/Marat updates and replaces the previous version present in the Infinity Basic Book.
The E/Marat, whose name signifies power in Arabic, is a directional short range electromagnetic pulse transmitter device. The first versions of this weapon, known as Generation-1, consisted of an omni-directional E/M pulse emitter with radial effect. However, those versions had defects such as a reduced range and the indiscriminate effect of the pulse on everything that surrounded it, including the E/Marat carrier, seeing it achieve scarce success in combat. This new version has a parabolic deflector, which allows focusing of the pulse to select more specific targets. Being a directional weapon, the current E/Marat possesses a more limited range of action, especially when compared to other area saturation E/M weapons. However, it has more

Hedgehog Weapon
A Close Combat weapon that activates only when its carrier is attacked in base contact. It is a weapon that works automatically, and doesnt require a CC Roll but imposes a Modifier of 6 to the CC Attribute of the adversary, who must make a Modified Normal Roll to hit, instead of a Face to Face Roll. If the adversary fails its roll due the Modifier (So if the Failure Category is equal or lesser than 6) then he must make an ARM Roll against a Damage value equal to the PH Attribute of the Hedgehog Weapons carrier.

The Hedgehog Weapon term is used to refer to personal defense devices and also for those evolutionary developments based on the same defensive concept: a coating covered by sharpened spikes to avoid aggressive contact. The spikes of the Chaksa auxiliary troops are hair covered by thick high density keratin layers that provide the rigidity necessary to make it a weapon. The spikes are inserted between the muscles of the subdermal layer, which facilitates defensive reactions. As an unconscious and reflexive movement, the Chaksa spreads the characteristic poison its dermis exudes along the spines, making them fearsome weapons.

the final notorious design flaw of the Jammer. This weapon has a limited action radius that obliges its carrier to move very close to his targets, preventing it being popularized as an infantry weapon, due to the risk it means for its carrier. However, the effective application of a Jammer on the battlefield, thwarting enemy communications and the chaos this causes amongst hostile forces is so useful that only one of these devices can completely confound an enemys strategy.

Marksman Rifle
This weapon is considered the intermediate step between the Rifle and the Sniper Rifle. In game terms, the Marksman Rifle is a Long-medium range Ballistic Skill weapon. This weapon cannot be used in CC.
Although the primacy of the Combi Rifle as the main weapon of the Infantry soldier is undisputed, its range, limited only to short-medium distance, sometimes is not enough for the job at hand. Conflicts in places like the arctic environments of Svalarheima, the mountain areas of Tien Shan, or the Ariadnan steppes, have highlighted the need to increase the range of the engagement capability of Infantry formations. In such a way, the Marksman Rifle has been specifically designed to engage targets located at long distance. However, this also means an increase of the weight and length of the weapon, which is difficult to use in Close Quarters Battle conditions. Placed between the Rifle and the Sniper Rifle, this weapon provides rate of fire at a range longer than usual for an infantry soldier, without the requirement of a snipers specific training. Even although it is not supposed to be regular equipment, but a light support weapon, some units have been entirely equipped with Marksman Rifles. Usually, these are units dedicated to combat support tasks, or units deployed in areas where this weapon would be of optimal use.

Jammer
A radio-electronic offensive jamming device used to break enemy communications. In game terms, the Jammer is a Ballistic Skill weapon, non-lethal, with a range covering Zone of Control (8 inches) radius and it doesnt require LOF to be used against an enemy. The use of the Jammer is considered a BS attack that requires the spending of a Short Skill of an Order or an ARO, and to succeed at a WIP Roll, either a Normal or a Face to Face Roll. The player must designate one figure as a target, which will be the only one attacked out of all those affected by the range of the weapon. The target figure of a successful Jammer attack must make a BTS Roll against Damage 13. The effect of the Jammer is twofold: it makes its target an Irregular figure and breaks its Link with a Fireteam or any other type of Link it belongs to. A troop affected by a Jammer who fails its BTS Roll automatically becomes Irregular. This must be marked by placing an Irregular Order Marker beside it. If, at the beginning of the next active turn, this troop still possesses this Marker, then it will not provide its Order to the Order Reserve of its army. Moreover, if when performing an attack with the Jammer, the target is a member of a Fireteam, or any other type of Link, no matter what (Enomotarchos, Fireteam, Haris, Tohaa...) and fails its BTS Roll, then its Link will be broken and the figure will automatically be out of the Fireteam or Link it belonged to. While it possesses an Irregular Order Marker that figure also cannot be part of any type of Link. However, if the target is the Link Leader of a Fireteam, or any other type of Link, whichever this may be (Enomotarchos, Fireteam, Haris, Tohaa...) and fails its BTS Roll, then the whole Link will be broken and the LINK Leader Marker must be removed. In the same way, this figure cannot be part of any kind of Link. If the target of a Jammer is a Lieutenant and he fails his BTS Roll, then when becoming Irregular, he stops being a Lieutenant, so the army will pass into a Loss of Lieutenant situation. If the Lieutenant was already an Irregular troop, in an Army List completely comprised of Irregular troops, then he will remain as Lieutenant. The effect of the Jammer is permanent until the miniature affect by it is repaired by a troop possessing the Engineer Special Skill, in which case the Irregular Order Marker is removed. This weapon is vulnerable to E/M Special Ammunition.
The Jammer is an electronic warfare tactical weapon, which means it is a Short range, compact and specialized artefact. To adapt to its military function, the Jammer has been designed as a hybrid technology device that includes a communication frequency tracker, affecting not only radio but also laser, microwave etc all combined in a powerful radial jamming transmitter. However, the military requirements that it be portable and as lightweight as a personal weapon, plus the limitation of its area of effect to avoid unexpected interference to allied devices, created

Molotok
Long-medium range Ballistic Skill support weapon. This weapon has B 4 and cannot be used in CC.
The Molotok (, Russian for Hammer) is a light machine gun of compact design, with a short barrel, foldable butt and a chamber adapted for lighter ammunition, created to cover the requirements of airborne and special operations units. However, while lacking the range and the power of the standard Ariadnan Heavy Machine Gun, the famous AKNovy Hishchnik (, Russian for Predator), the Molotok has been specially useful in urban warfare and Close Quarters Battle environments, being adopted by several Ariadnan units and not only those units types previously mentioned.

Rocket Launcher (Light RL, Heavy RL)

The Guided version of this weapon (Guided Rocket Launcher) allows firing of guided projectiles loaded with FIRE Special Ammunition, which places a Circular Template at the point of impact, but reducing its B to 1. This weapon applies the usual rules of Guided Special Ammunition: its projectiles are hackable, with BTS 3, it can only shoot a maximum of 5 shots per game turn, etc. This weapon can also be used as a normal Rocket Launcher, which can shoot unguided projectiles, which are non-hackable.

Rules

Support weapon, with B 2, which shoots FIRE Special Ammunition, placing a Circular Template at the point of impact. There are two versions of this weapon, light and heavy, with different values for Distance and Damage. The Rocket Launcher is a BS weapon that cannot be used in CC.

The Rocket launcher, in both light and heavy versions, is an Infantry support weapon, possessing a long tradition in the military history of the Human Sphere. Designed mainly as an anti-personnel weapon, with casualty radius of 4-5 metres, Rocket Launchers can be also used against light and medium vehicles. Modern Rocket Launchers are based on the Hydra-90 projectile series, which uses the universal Mk 77motor, an evolution of the PFFR (Portable Folding Fin Rocket) Mk 25, developed in the middle of the 21st Century. The venerable Mk 25, similar to the one still in use by Ariadnan forces, was used in the Caucasus Conflicts and the Central American Campaign, starting a long career as close support weapon for Infantry forces. In its record can be found more than 30 different firing platforms, both portable and mounted, which have been used by the armies of the Human Sphere since its creation. Thanks to the reduced recoil system, and the different lightweight projectiles of the Hydra-90 series, the Rocket Launcher can be used mounted on a vehicle, in an unmanned combat unit, and also by a single soldier.

duration, breaking up harmlessly after a short duration. This allows use of Swarm Grenades to temporarily block locations that could later need to be opened. In addition, these grenades have important psychological value, because the cloud generated by them is easy to identify, which combines with their reputation as lethal weapons to have a serious effect on enemy troop morale.

ATTENTION: This weapon has been included in the list

of weaponry forbidden by the Concilium Convention. Its use will be penalized by the international courts.

Vulkan Shotgun
Short-medium range Ballistic Skill weapon that can choose to shoot AP Special Ammunition or just FIRE Special Ammunition with a Small Teardrop Template. This weapon works the same way as the Boarding Shotgun, with the sole exception that the Teardrop Template is composed of FIRE Special Ammunition. This weapon cannot be used in CC.
The Vulkan Shotgun is the Infantry adaptation of the traditional Navy Boarding Shotgun. While the Boarding Shotgun was developed according to the requirements of naval assault units as a weapon that can be used in closed environments with a scarce atmosphere or even in the void, the Vulkan Shotgun was modified for close combat in urban or jungle warfare. This weapon replaces the standard pellet/ flechette ammunition with a round charged by a rapidly igniting and highly incendiary substance (zirconium, phosphorus ...) which generates a large tongue of flame at the point of impact, with a spectacular effect similar to a flamethrower. Similar versions of the Vulkan Shotgun are used by the Tohaa military forces and by the Morat, due to their lethal consequences against troops equipped with Symbiont Armor.

Stun Pistol
Short range BS non-lethal weapon, which shoots Stun Special Ammunition. This weapon can be used in CC, but reduce its B to 1).
The name of the Stun Pistol is applied to several different weapons which shoot disabling non-lethal ammunition. Although the kind of ammunition used varies, from the most advanced Nanotech projectiles, to the classic electric darts, through bio-chemical options, or sonic or gas discharge, the purpose is the same in all of them: to stop an opponent at short range or engaged in a mele. Stun Pistols are weapons designed for police use as an alternative detention system against dangerous or highly aggressive individuals. These weapons are under legal supervision in all nations of the Human Sphere, but are relatively common in frontier territories, where their sales are barely controlled.

Submachine Gun
Short and medium range BS weapon, which shoots Shock Special Ammunition. This weapon cannot be used in CC.
The advances in personal ballistic protection and the appearance of the Combi Rifle eclipsed the Submachine gun as the main military and police weapon short-ranged weapon with light ammunition. While long considered obsolete, progress in stopping power for new light ammunitions in recent times have favored a rebirth of this kind of weapon. The characteristics of its light caliber facilitates a high rate of fire and concentration of hits, causing higher hydrostatic shock on the target than that of larger bore calibers. Its enhanced firepower and special qualities for close quarter battle make the Submachine gun a much appreciated weapon by tactical police units, anti-terrorist and special operations teams, as well as paramilitary groups.

Swarm Grenades
Ballistic Skill Thrown Weapon. This weapon applies the same rules as Grenades, but it is loaded with Swarm Special Ammunition (BTS Roll, Shock Damage, Low Visibility Area, game turn duration...).
The Swarm Grenades are a multipurpose weapon with both offensive and defensive uses. The micro-insects with which they are loaded secrete a highly poisonous substance so powerful that a single sting is enough to incapacitate an average adult. However, the frenzied and aggressive behaviour of the swarm delivers so many stings that death is provoked almost immediately. As a collateral effect, the Swarm Grenades generate a cloud of micro-insects so thick that aids their use as screen to hide the movement of military units. The cloud created by a Swarm Grenade has a limited

Defensive Hacking Device

A limited Hacking device which only allows performance of Defensive Mode Hacking, Controlling a Remote and Hacking Security and Information. A Defensive Hacking Device works like a Repeater for all the other Hackers in its own army. This piece of Equipment is vulnerable to E/M Special Ammunition.
Defensive Hacking Devices have been created specifically to perform security tasks. Lacking the software and hardware necessary to perform Offensive Mode Hacking, these info-war devices are commensurately cheaper and easier to produce. Moreover, the learning curve required to use them effectively is less pronounced, which allows informatic security specialists to be totally prepared within shorter time frames.

automatically revealed when declaring its use. The Nullifier allows performance of Intuitive Attacks, being allowed to be placed in an area that affects a Camouflage and Hiding Maker, if the WIP Roll is successful. Unlike Mines, Nullifiers cannot camouflage. Each of them has the height of a basic troop from the army it belongs to. The Nullifier has ARM 0, BTS 0, STR 1. Each troop possessing this device carries 3 Nullifiers. Once the Nullifier has been placed on the game table, it works automatically and continuously. The Nullifier only stops working if it loses its STR point, or it is deactivated by a troop possessing the Engineer Special Skill who is in base contact, spends a Short Skill of an Order and succeeding at a WIP Roll. In such cases, the Marker is removed from the game table. It is permitted to place a Nullifier as an Order or ARO to avoid a Hacking attack, Sepsitor, a Forward Observer marking or a Flash Pulse shot, by winning the corresponding Face to Face Roll. This piece of Equipment is vulnerable to E/M Special Ammunition. The Nullifier has no effect over game elements or scenery items provided by scenarios (Access Consoles, Landing Beacons, Access Gates...) unless the scenario indicates the contrary
The Nullifier was developed by the Tohaa engineers as last ditch defense against the EI menace. The supremacy in cyber-combat of the Aspects created by the alien Artificial Intelligence and the danger of the Sepsitor forced adoption of a zero-activity defensive system. The massive jamming system of the Nullifier means a total communication blockade, establishing a deadlock for any type of transmission and electronic activity within its area of effect.

Hungries Control Device

This piece of equipment allows creation of a Fireteam comprised by the owner of the Control Device and a group of Hungries. The Fireteam can contain both Gakis and Pretas. In game, it is not necessary that the owner of the Control Device be the Link Team Leader. The formation, activity and the reformation of this Fireteam uses the rules of Infinity Fireteams (See the book Infinity Human Sphere). However, the player must not forget the following: It is compulsory that the owner of the Control Device and the Hungries belong to the same Combat Group. Thanks to the Control Device, when the Fireteam is formed, the Gakis and the Pretas become Regular. Moreover, following the Fireteam rules, all the members of the Fireteam become Not Impetuous. This piece of Equipment is vulnerable to E/M Special Ammunition. If the owner of the Control Device falls Unconscious or Dead, or if the Device is Disabled, the Fireteam breaks automatically.
The strong role the hunt has in Morat society soon determined the role of The Hungries in its Aggression Forces. Operating in joint actions of the Combined Army, The Hungries are used as a spearhead to locate and harass the enemy, pushing it towards an open range, exactly the same role they have in the hunts of great predators on the Morat homeworld.

Spotter
Shooting remote assistance system. Usually, but not only, built into REMs having Ghost: Synchronized to act along with their Controller, giving him Bonuses to his rolls. In game terms, to activate the Spotter requires a Short Skill of an Order. It doesnt require rolling of dice, and it is considered an Attack. The Spotter provides the REM Controller a Bonus of +3 to BS and Discover Rolls only, while the REM carrying it has LOF with the target and it also declares that it will activate the Spotter (Declaring a BS attack or Discover with it). While Synchronized (See Ghost: Synchronized in Infinity Human Sphere) with the Controller, activating the Spotter doesnt require the spending of an extra Order. When activating the Spotter, the REM doesnt shoot any weapon, or attempts to Discover, instead it only provides the Bonus.

A deployable and disposable piece of equipment which is mainly a portable signal cancellation device. In game terms, inside the area of effect of a Nullifier it is not permitted to perform Hacking, Sepsitor, Forward Observer markings or shooting Flash Pulses. Figures placed inside its area of effect cannot be targeted by those kind of attacks. The area of effect of a Nullifier is a range of 8 inches radius (Zone of Control). To place and activate a Nullifier is a Short Skill, which requires success at a WIP Roll, and allows placement of a Nullifier Marker (NULLIFIER) in base contact with its owner. This action is considered to be an attack, so any troop on the table as a Marker (Camouflage and Hiding, Impersonation) will be

However, if Soaane loses 3 Wounds, his Symbiont Armor will die, because it has lost both its 2 Wounds, and the third Wound is suffered by Soaane himself, taking him to an Unconscious state (His Inactive Symbiont Armor profile has 1 Wound) placing an Inactive Symbiont Armor Marker and also a Wound Marker beside the figure. Soaane will stay on the game table, in an Unconscious state, with his Inactive Symbiont Armor profile. However, lets suppose the fates, envying the bravery of Soaane, turn their faces away, and Soaane fails 4 ARM Rolls. Then, like before, the Symbiont Armor will die (It has lost both its 2 Wounds), but the unfortunate Soaane will pass to a Dead state (He has lost his 1 Wound and also his Unconscious state), so he must be removed from the game table. But, what happens if Soaane only loses 1 Wound in this Order and in another different Order he loses 2 more Wounds? Losing 1 Wound, a Wound Marker must be placed besides the figure, which keeps playing with its Active Symbiont Armor profile. When it loses 2 Wounds then the Inactive Symbiont Armor Marker is placed, and the Wound Marker is kept, but now, this Wound Marker indicates that the Symbiont Armor user is the one who has lost 1 Wound and he is in an Unconscious state (Because his Inactive Symbiont Armor profile has 1 Wound). Lets suppose Soaane should lose 2 Wounds in this Order and in another different Order he loses 1 more Wound. Having lost 2 Wounds, his Symbiont Armor dies and the Inactive Symbiont Armor Marker is placed directly (No need to place the 2 Wound Markers), because this indicates his Symbiont Armor is dead (Without Wounds) and Soaane must use his Inactive Symbiont Armor profile. In the Order Soaane where loses 1 more Wound, he has used his Inactive Symbiont Armor profile in the ARM Roll, and the Wound he loses is applied to that profile (1 Wound), so he keeps the Inactive Symbiont Armor profile, and the Wound Marker is placed beside the figure, indicating that Soaane is in an Unconscious state.

Symbiont Armor: Troop Profiles and Damage

A figure possessing a Symbiont Armor has 2 troop profiles. The Active Symbiont Armor profile is the initial troop profile the figure is deployed with. When the Active Symbiont Armor profile has lost all its Wounds, the player will keep using the Inactive Symbiont Armor troop profile. The Active Symbiont Armor troop profile lacks an Unconscious state. When it loses all its Wounds, it stops suffering damage, and the successive Wounds the figure receives will be applied directly to the Inactive Symbiont Armor troop profile, which is its users. The Active Symbiont Armor profile is replaced by the Inactive Symbiont Armor profile (But keeping those Wounds received) at the end of the Order in which the figure with the Active Symbiont Armor has lost his Wounds. So, a troop with the Active Symbiont Armor profile who receives several hits in the same Order will use the ARM value of his Active Symbiont Armor profile against all of them. A figure possessing Symbiont Armor who has lost all the
Wounds of its Active Symbiont Armor profile must indicate this by placing a Symbiont Armor: Inactive Marker.

The Wound Markers placed beside an Active Symbiont Armor figure mark the Wounds received by the Active Symbiont Armor profile. However, Wound Markers placed beside a troop in Inactive Symbiont Armor, indicate the Wounds received by the user (Inactive Symbiont Armor profile). Example: Losing Wounds with Symbiont Armor Soaane, a brave soldier from the Ectros Heavy Infantry Regiment, with his Active Symbiont Armor at full performance (Wounds: 2), is facing several enemies shooting at him in ARO. The dice rolls determine that Soaane will receive 5 hits, so he must make 5 ARM Rolls, always applying the ARM Attribute of his Active Symbiont Armor. The brave Soaane succeeds at 4 ARM Rolls, so he keeps playing with his Active Symbiont Armor, but with 1 Wound Marker beside him, as he has lost 1 Wound. If Soaane loses 2 Wounds which is the total amount of Wounds of his Symbiont Armor- he will keep playing with his Inactive Symbiont Armor profile, placing the corresponding Inactive Symbiont Armor Marker beside his figure.

To be able to heal a troop possessing a Symbiont Armor, it is required to have not only the Doctor Special Skill, but also the Engineer Special Skill.
Unconscious figures possessing an Inactive Symbiont Armor that are given a MediKit to cure them, make a PH Roll instead of the usual PH-3 Roll the MediKit rule states.

Rules

Troops possessing a Symbiont Armor can only be recovered from the Unconscious state to Normal (Recovering 1 single Wound) so they never recover the Active Symbiont Armor profile. They cannot recover more Wounds, no matter if their Troop Type is a T.A.G. because they have no STR Attribute. A failure on the healing roll for a Symbiont Armor carrier who is in an Unconscious state means the automatic Death of the figure, which must be removed from the game table. Apart from that situation, a failure in the repair of a Symbiont Armor with a Disabled Marker (DIS), or an Immobilized Marker (IMM), means the Symbiont Armor is definitively Disabled or Immobilized, without any possibility of repair. In such cases, its wearer can always detach from the Symbiont Armor and keep playing with its Inactive Symbiont Armor profile (See below).

Example. Healing a troop possessing a Symbiont Armor Boona, a courageous Kumotail Bioengineer, is in base contact with a Gorgos, a Tohaa T.A.G., in an Unconscious state, therefore using its Inactive Symbiont Armor profile. If Boona spends 1 Short Skill and succeeds at a WIP Roll, the Gorgos will recover 1 Wound, passing from Unconscious state to Normal, with 1 Wound, and keeping its Inactive Symbiont Armor profile. However, Boona cannot make this T.A.G. recover more Wounds. If Boona fails her WIP Roll to cure the T.A.G. it will pass directly to the Dead state, and the figure must be removed from the battlefield.
Symbiont Armor: Guts Roll

Symbiont Armor: Detach from the Armor

If a figure possessing a Symbiont Armor is in an Immobilized state (Due to a Hacking attack, Adhesive Special Ammo, etc.) it can detach from the Symbiont Armor to get free, using its Inactive Symbiont Armor troop profile. To voluntarily detach from the Symbiont Armor requires a Short Skill of an Order or an ARO. The Symbiont Armor is abandoned and cannot be liberated by any figure possessing the Engineer Special Skill, so, in game terms, it dies and vanishes from the battlefield.
Symbiont Armor: Notes.

The user of a Symbiont Armor cannot make a Guts Roll in an Order in which his Symbiont Armor passes from Active to an Inactive state (When the Symbiont Armor loses its last Wound), so the figure must apply the corresponding rule and leave its current position. The exception to this rule is applied when the Symbiont Armor user has the V: Courage Special Skill or equivalent. Example: Symbiont Armor and Guts Roll Our old friend Soaane, soldier of the Ectros Heavy Infantry Regiment, with his Active Symbiont Armor at full capacity (Wounds: 2), is facing several enemies, who again shoot him in ARO. The dice rolls determine Soaane receives 3 hits, so he must make 3 ARM Rolls, applying the ARM value of his Active Symbiont Armor against all of them. Soaane fails 1 ARM Roll, losing 1 Wound from his Symbiont Armor, so he can still keep fighting with his Active Symbiont Armor profile. As Soaane wants to stay in the position he is in, he makes the Guts Roll and, after success, remains where he is. In the next Order, after a new barrage, Soaane fails 1 ARM Roll, losing the last Wound of his Symbiont Armor, so now he stays in the game with his Inactive Symbiont Armor profile, placing the corresponding Marker (Symbiont Armor: Inactive). However, as he has lost his Symbiont Armor, at the end of this Order, Soaane cannot perform his Guts Roll, and is forced to retreat towards the nearest Cover.
Symbiont Armor: Vulnerability to Fire

There are several Symbiont Armor models, each possessing different Attributes and Special Skills. Depending on the model, the Symbiont Armors can have 1 Wound or more. For example, the Tohaa T.A.G.s are just superior armor models, which is the reason why they have Wound (W) values instead of Structure (STR). Symbiont Armors apply the characteristics of the Troop Type they belong to. For example, the Heavy Infantry (HI) and T.A.G.s are vulnerable to E/M Special Ammunition and also to Hacking as with any other HI or T.A.G. while Light Infantry (LI) and Medium Infantry (MI) cannot be hacked, or Immobilized by E/M Special Ammunition, for example. Troops possessing a Symbiont Armor, when passing to the
Inactive Symbiont Armor profile, change the Troop Type they are as well, usually becoming Light Infantry (LI)

Symbiont Armors are personal and not transferable. So, they are a piece of equipment that cannot be picked up with the Booty Special Skill.

Symbiont Armors are notoriously vulnerable to FIRE Special Ammunition. A figure possessing a Symbiont Armor, Active or Inactive, which fails its ARM Roll when receiving a hit from FIRE Special Ammunition, will pass automatically to a Dead state, no matter how many Wounds it has, and is removed from the game table. Example: Symbiont Armor and FIRE Special Ammunition Soaane, our brave soldier of the Ectros Heavy Infantry Regiment, with his Active Symbiont Armor at full capacity again (Wounds: 2), is hit by a Light Flamethrower. But poor Soaane fails his ARM Roll, so, consumed by the flames, he passes automatically to the Dead state, instantly losing the 2 Wounds of his Active Symbiont Armor profile, the 1 Wound of his Inactive Symbiont Armor profile and also the Unconscious state, so his figure must be removed from the game table.
