Corvus Belli in associaon with Beasts of War (www.beastsofwar.com) are proud to bring you The Innity Quick Start Rules... but what is Innity?

Innity is a 28mm miniatures skirmish game, where players control squads of hi-tech warriors engaged in pitched bales and covert operaons, set in a capvang sci- universe. The world of Innity depicts an excing and aconpacked, near future, where secret missions and black ops, will determine the desny of humankind.

INFINITY QUICK START RULES These rules are the streamlined and simplied version of the Innity game system, which will help you understand the basics of the game. However, with the complete Innity rulebook, you can enjoy a greater variety of taccal opons and gaming possibilies. You can download the complete rulebook, at www.innitythegame.com AND BEST OF ALL IT’S FREE!



WHAT I NEED TO PLAY •

Measure tape

•

Twenty–sided dice (D20)

•

Innity miniatures

•

Innity Quick Start Rules

•

Scenery

GAME SETUP The following steps are used to set up your game of Innity.

•

A game table, with plenty of scenery, is prepared

•

Each Player selects a table edge (generally this is the oppositeedge of the table)

•

Players can deploy their models up to 12 inches from their selected table edge. This is their Deployment Zone

•

Each player makes a Face to Face Roll (see below) using the Willpower (WIP) Aribute of their Lieutenant

•

The winner may choose to act rst or second



RULES STATISTICS The physical and mental ability of each model is represented as a stasc, as follows:

MOV CC BS PH WIP ARM BTS W

= Movement Aribute = Close Combat Aribute = Ballisc Skill Aribute = Physical Aribute = Willpower Aribute = Armour Aribute = Biotechnological Shield Aribute (not used in the Quick Start Rules) = Wounds Aribute

LINE OF FIRE The Line of Fire (LoF) is an imaginary straight line that runs from the centre of a miniature’s base to an enemy model. If there are any obstacles in the way that completely block an enemy miniature from sight, then there is no Line of Fire. A target may only be selected by a model if the model can “see” it, at least parally. Miniatures have a 180-degree eld of vision.



ACTIVATING MODELS: ORDERS Each turn, the Acve Player (who has the acve turn) gains 1 Order per model in his army that is present on the table. The collecve number of Orders provided to the player is called the Orders Reserve.

An Order allows the acvaon of a model that can then use the order to engage in combat or perform another acon. The Acve Player can spend one or more Orders on each model unl all of the Orders in the Orders Reserve have been used up, at which point the acve t urn is passed to the next player.

TACTICAL TIP You can spend more than one Order on a parcular model. Therefore it is possible to acvate a chosen model several mes in the same turn. Each Order can be used to allow a chosen model to take one of the following acons:

•

Short Movement Skill + Short Movement Skill

•

Short Movement Skill + Short Skill

•

Long Skill

Short Movement Skill

Short Skill

Long Skill

Move Discover

Shoot Close Combat Aack Dodge Doctor

Camouage Combat Jump



MOVEMENT Move is a short skill that allows a model to advance a number of inches equal to the rst value of its Move (MOV) Aribute. If a model repeats the Move skill during the same order, it advances a number of i nches equal to the second value of its Move (MOV) Aribute.

When declaring a Move, the player must show the exact route taken by the model, so that their opponent has a chance to announce their Automac Reacon Order (ARO).

THE ENEMY REPLY: AUTOMATIC REACTION ORDER (ARO) When the rst Short Skill (or Long Skill) is declared for each Order, the Acve Player’s opponent is permied to react to the acvated model using each of their models that is within 8” or that has Line of Fire to the model that triggered their reacon. This is called an Automac Reacon Order (or ARO). The Automac Reacon Order (ARO) allows the reacng model to act during the Acve Player’s turn. However, they may only aack or react to the model that has declared an Order.

TYPES OF AUTOMATIC REACTION ORDER When reacng to an enemy model, a model can take one of the following acons:

•

Change Facing

•

Discover a hidden model

•

Dodge to avoid an enemy aack (if the reacng model is the target of an

aack) or just to Move •

Make a Close Combat aack (if the reacng model is engaged on that aack)

•

Shoot at the enemy (if the model has Line of Fire)



GAME SEQUENCE Each me a model is acvated by an Order, play is determined a s follows:

1.

The acve player declares their rst Short or Long Skill

2.

The opposing player declares their Automac Reacon Order

3.

The acve player declares their second Short Skill (if appropriate)

4.

Players measure movement and weapon range

5.

Dice rolls are made to resolve any combat or skill tests

IMPORTANT Despite the opponent declaring his reacon aer the rst Short Skill declaraon, all of the acons are considered to occur simultaneously.



DICE MECHANICS NORMAL ROLLS In Innity, to nd out if an acon performed by a model has been successful, a D20 is rolled. If the result is equal to or less than the relevant Aribute for that acon, the acon is successful. Before the dice are rolled, all necessary modiers must be added or subtracted from the Aribute. Example of a Normal Roll:

A PanOceanian Trauma Doc moves into base contact with a trooper she wants to heal, using her Doctor Special Skill. Doctor requires that the Trauma Doc pass a Normal Roll using her Willpower (WIP) Aribute. The Trauma Doc has Willpower (WIP ) 12. If the dice rolls 12 or less, the roll will be successful and the trooper will be healed. The player rolls 2, which is a success!

MAKING FACE TO FACE ROLLS When two (or more) models aempt acons that are opposed to each other, then a Face to Face roll must be made. To make a Face to Face roll, all players involved in the contest, need to roll D20. The player that rolls the closest to their [modied] Aribute, while also rolling higher than the other players is the winner. In the case of a draw, the model with the highest [unmodied] Aribute is declared the winner. If two (or more) models have the same [unmodied] Aribute, both are considered to have failed.

CRITICAL SUCCESS If a player rolls the exactly to number they need (i.e. their [modied] Aribute number), they have scored a Crical Success. A Crical Success cannot be beaten; it can only be equalled by an opposing player rolling another Crical Success.

IMPORTANT A Crical Success on a combat roll is called a Crical Hit and automacally causes the loss of 1 Wound to the target, unless the target rolls a Crical Success on a Dodge check.



COMBAT RANGED COMBAT (SHOOT) Shoot is a short skill used to make a ranged aack against an enemy model. This is resolved by a Face to Face Roll , using the acve model’s Ballisc Skill (BS) as the target number. The target can either return re, by using an Automac Reacon Order (ARO) to shoot at the model that shot at them, or they can Dodge, using its Physical (PH) Aribute.

IMPORTANT When performing a shoong Automac Reacon Order (ARO), the Burst stat of all weapons is reduced to 1. An acve model rolls 1D20 to aack for each point of Burst that its weapon possesses (e.g. Burst 3 rolls 3D20) and each dice that beats its opponent’s roll and rolls equal to or less than their Ballisc Skill (BS) Aribute, scores a hit.

EXAMPLE OF RANGED COMBAT: The acve model shoots using the Burst of its weapon. In this case Burst 3, meaning 3D20. The reacve model, which has also declared Shoot as its Automac Reacon Order (ARO), only rolls 1D20. All these dice rolls need to be the closest possible to the Ballisc Skill (BS) Aribute of the model - those which exceed that value are misses. Acve Model: Line Kazak, has Ballisc Skill (BS) 11. Its dice rolls are: 2, 9 and 18. The 2 and the 9 are lower than the Ballisc Skill (BS) Aribute of the model, so they are successful rolls. However, the 18 exceeds the Ballisc Skill (BS) value, so it is a miss. Reacve Model: Moderator from Bakunin, Ballisc Skill (BS) 10. Its dice roll is 5, so it gets a successful roll too.

Of all the successful dice rolls, the closest to the Ballisc Skill (BS) Aribute of the model and higher than the enemy’s roll, is the Line Kazak’s roll of 9. So it is the Line Kazak who wins the Face to Face Roll .

TACTICAL TIP If you shoot at a model’s rear facing, it cannot react (because it lacks Line of Fire) and the ranged aack becomes a Normal Roll , as a model needs an ARO in order to make the aack a Face to Face Roll .



RANGE The distance the target is from the shooter modies the target number they need to roll. These modiers are parcular to the type of weapon used and are noted on the Weapons Chart (page25). Example of Range: The Line Kazak’s rie provides a posive modier of +3 to his Ballisc Skill (BS) Aribute when he shoots at a target from 8 to 16 inches away.

COVER When a model shoong at a target, has its Line of Fire obscured by a secon of terrain that is in base contact with the target and which covers at least a third of the targeted model, the aacker suers a -3 modier to its Ballisc Skill (BS) Aribute when shoong at that model. A model claiming Cover also gains a +3 modier to its Armour (ARM) Aribute, making it easier to resist damage.

EXAMPLE OF COVER: When the Moderator has Cover , his aacker, suers a penalty of –3 to its Ballisc Skill (BS) Aribute. While, the Moderator receives a +3 modier to its Armour (ARM) Aribute.

TACTICAL TIP When you use an Order to make a model move and shoot at an enemy. You can declare your ranged aack at any point during a model’s movement. Make sure you choose to shoot when your opponent doesn’t have any Cover , to maximise your eecveness.



TERRAIN For the purposes of the Quick Start Rules, we are only concerned with terrain that provides cover. Other types of terrain can be ignored. However, the Innity Rulebook contains more rules that cover various types of terrain.

CLOSE COMBAT When a model is in base contact with an enemy model, they automacally engage in a melee ght called Close Combat. The models are considered to be using one of their Close Combat Weapons. This does not require an Order to change weapon. Fighng in Close Combat is a Face to Face Roll using the model’s Close Combat (CC) Aribute against an opponent ’s Close Combat (CC) Aribute.

DODGE A Dodge is a reacon that allows the model to use its Physical (PH) Aribute to oppose aack rolls and thereby avoid the triggering aack. The target number for a Dodge roll is the model’s Physical (PH) Aribute. If the Dodging model wins the Face to Face Roll, it is unaected by the aack. If the model is using an Automac Reacon Order (ARO), it can also move up to t he rst value of its Move (MOV) Aribute, in inches.

IMPORTANT Some weapons use a template to aack and do not require an aack roll. These can be opposed using a Dodge roll, but applying a -6 Modier to the model’s Physical (PH) Aribute. You have been warned!



ARMOUR ROLL When a model is hit by an aack, it must pass an Armour (ARM) roll. In this kind of roll, the Armour (ARM) Aribute is a posive (+) modier to a model’s dice roll. If the result of the modied Roll (D20 + ARM) is higher than the Damage value of the weapon, then, they have deected the hit successfully and the model is unhurt.

If the model fails the Armour (ARM) Roll, it suers 1 wound.

UNCONSCIOUS AND DEATH Once a model has received a number of wounds equal to its Wounds (W) Aribute it falls Unconscious. Models in the Unconscious state must be idened with an Unconscious Marker . A model that falls Unconscious is unable to take any acons and does not add an Order to the Orders Reserve of the controlling player. If an Unconscious model suers an addional wound, it is dead and is removed from the table.



SPECIAL SKILLS Some troops have special training or equipment that allows them to perform acons others cannot. Here is a sample of these abilies, but check out the full rulebook to nd out more about the special acons your forces can take.

CAMOUFLAGE A model with the Camouage special skill can begin the game hidden and can be represented by a Camouage Marker on the game table to show that the model cannot be seen. A Camouage Marker can move across the baleeld without suering direct aacks. Any hosle model, which wants to aack a Camouage Marker must Discover it rst, which requires success at a Discover roll, which requires a normal Willpower (WIP) Aribute Roll. Any roll to Discover a model possessing the Camouage special skill suers a –3 modier, but if the troop has Thermo-Opcal Camouage (TO), a more advanced level of the Camouage Special Skill, then the modier is -6. Camouaged models have the ability to aack from surprise, so they can shoot before at a target, which can only react (i.e. use an Automac Reacon Order [ARO]) if it survives the aack. However, when a camouaged model performs an aack it reveals itself, becoming visible to enemy units. At which point t he player replaces the Camouage Marker with the appropriate model. A model with Camouage & Hiding (CH): Mimesm has a limited ability to conceal itself from the enemy. When a model shoots at an enemy with Mimesm, it suers a -3 penalty to its Balli sc Skill (BS).

TACTICAL TIP A Reacve Player can wait to declare any Automac Reacon Orders (ARO) of all of their models with Line of Fire to a Camouage Marker , unl the Camouage Marker declares the second Short Skill of its Order .



COMBAT JUMP Paratroopers have the Combat Jump special skill. A model with Combat Jump is not placed on the table at the start of the game and is not considered to be an acve model unl it is placed on the table (i.e. it does not grant a Order to the Order Reserve). A player can deploy a model with Combat Jump at any me during their turn. In order to deploy the model, they must rst place the Circular Template on the table (with the number 1 facing t he centre of the table) and then the player places the model with Combat Jump, somewhere inside the template. This deployment is considered to use the deploying model’s Order , so it does not add an a ddional Order to the Order Reserve, on the turn it appears on the table.

IMPORTANT If you cannot t the Circular Template at on the table in an area (i.e. if there is terrain underneath it), then a model with Combat Jump cannot use that area to deploy. Aer placing the model on the table, the model must make a Normal Roll using the Physical (PH) Aribute, in order to deploy successfully.

TACTICAL TIP While deploying a model with Combat Jump take note of the facing of enemy models and try to land your paratrooper out of their Line of Fire for some easy kills.

If the roll succeeds, the model deploys without ill eect and can be acvated normally. However, it also risks triggering reacons from enemies with Line of Fire when it deploys as though it had expended an Order . If the roll fails, the model suers a Dispersion roll (see below).

DISPERSION ROLL If a model with Combat Jump fails its Physical (PH) roll to deploy, it does not land in the intended area. In order to nd out where the model lands, record the second digit of the player’s D20 roll and compare it to the numbers around the edge of the Circular Template. This will give you the direcon the model will travel. Next, subtract the model’s Physical (PH) Aribute from the player’s roll and mulply this by 2½, this is the number of inches the model has travelled (D20-PH x 2½ inches). Finally, place the model on the table at the locaon indicated. If deviaon prompts the model to fall outside the baleeld, it will have to spend an Order to renter at the edge of the game table, at the point where it would have le.



DOCTOR A model possessing this special skill can revive models that have fallen Unconscious. To recover an Unconscious model, the model with the Doctor skill is required to be in base contact with the target, then spend one Short Skill of an Order and to succeed at a Willpower (WIP) Roll. If the roll succeeds, the target recovers 1 Wound (W) and in the next acve turn (if it the model sll alive) it will again provide 1 Order to the player’s Orders Reserve. If the roll fails, the target is unaected and remains Unconscious.

INFILTRATION A model with the Inltraon special skill can deploy anywhere in its controlling player’s half of the table. However, this does not increase the player’s inial deployment area for other troops.

LIEUTENANT One model in a player ’s army list must be designated as the leader, or Lieutenant of the squad. Only those models with the Lieutenant opon in their army list prole can be designated as a Lieutenant . A model with the Lieutenant special skill grants an extra Order to the Order Reserve, called a Lieutenant Special Order , which only the model with the Lieutenant ability can use.

MARTIAL ARTS LEVEL 3 A model with the Maral Arts (level 3) special skill is allowed to aack rst in Close Combat , making their inial aack a Normal Roll using its CC Aribute. If the defender survives, it can then perform an aack in reply. If both models have this same special skill, then they must perform a Face to Face Roll .

MULTISPECTRAL VISOR LEVEL 2 A model with the Mulspectral Visor (Level 2) special skill may make Discover , without suering negave modiers for Camouage.
