Since its initial public release and the prior test tournaments, our RECON+ packet for Infinity firefights has now been through two well attended local tournaments (12+ players) covering all of the missions, as well as many many practice games within our community. A lot of great comments and suggestions have been generated. The packet has now been updated to reflect changes in Season 9 of ITS and address many of the points brought up:

• Made the restriction on multi-wound models include all models with multiple profiles, i.e., now explicitly including Transmutation.
• Limited Mercenaries extra to 37pts and .5 SWC additional cost to be in line with ITS9 Soldier of Fortune event option, but with a carve out for any single selection, to permit the mercenary TAGs.
• ITS Season 9 updates: No nullifying Orders since all RECON+ lists fall under the Reduced Combat Groups rule, and TAGs have Fatality L1.
• Dispersion is reduced to a fixed 8″.
• Reworded Secure HVT to eliminate some ambiguity.
• Reworded Antenna/Console hacking as “connect” rather than “control.”
• Reworded Datacube possession as “hold” rather than “control.”
• Clarified Sweep & Clear that the Consoles must be connected and have a model in contact to contribute toward domination.
• Tech-Coffins moved 2″ farther apart in Smash & Grab.
• Multiple updates to Exfiltrate:
  • Added note that it is a challenging, low scoring mission;
  • There is now only 1 decoy;
  • The 4″ buffer on Civilians is relative only to your own Civilians;
  • You may Discover your Civilians to secretly look at their status;
  • You may expend a Command Token to reroll a failed interrogation.

Many thanks to everybody involved in the ongoing discussion on how to improve this mission packet. Comments and suggestions are always welcome!

The RECON format for Infinity gets a lot of play around here, with the local shop alternating its tournaments between that and ITS standard. Over time our group has developed a number of clarifications and tweaks. So here’s our take on 150pt firefights in the Human Sphere:
