I love how you thought out changes that would make the game mode more cinematic and Infinity-esque. I would love to give these changes a shot and be able to provide play-tested experience. Thank you for your time and thoughts on this!

Cool i just found this channel in Infinity group. Very useful video just like I like watching auspex tactic video about warhammer.

Good ideas! Might play with these rules soon!

I think the Reinforcements rule has potential but does need a lot of work to make it a viable option for players to use. One of the main issues at the moment is that there's no option to play a Reinforcement list against a non-reinforcement list which is something that would add tactical depth to games. Personally I'd make some of the changes you suggest however I'd alter the following: Reinforcement units drop at the start of your 1st turn if you have lost 100 points of your army list OR automatically at he start of your 2nd turn. This means a player who goes 2nd and gets hammered by their opponent can still get a decent 1st turn with the addition of their reinforcements to their army, which is sort of how the mode is supposed to work IMHO. Dropping automatically at the start of the 2nd turn means the units will get some use before the 3rd turn by both players and solves the other main issue with reinforcements which is that they can score objectives in some missions basically uncontested. Reinforcements drop in the ZOC of the Comlink unit if they are active, if not they drop within the players deployment zone. This increases the functionality of the Comlink unit and potentiality allows for interesting tactical deployment if you can move the Comlink up the table and keep them active until the start of your 2nd turn. It would force your opponent to concentrate on taking out the Comlink unit if they want to avoid Reinforcement units deploying in a tactically advantageous position but would also mean that you force your opponent to divert resources to doing this and not getting mission objectives which is a tactic all of its own. Reinforcements acting as a coordinated order is very interesting but I think the only reason this isn't already a thing is because their deployment happens before the actual start of the turn and units aren't normally allowed to ARO outside of the turn phase as it causes all sorts of problems with the other things that happen in these phases. There's a workable idea there but it might mean restructuring how turn phases work. I think we might see a re-work of the Reinforcements rule in a 5th Edition if and when that becomes a thing.

The landing coordinated order type mechanic is great, but the wip roll sounds like it will lead to a lot of NPE. My opponent gets 100 point advantage for a whole extra turn or two because of a dice roll I can't do much to impact? Much as I'm not a fan of point counting, I think it works better than this.

Would be cool to see a multiplayer format. Use reinforcement troopers only and it can be up to 4 players. 2v2 or free for all. Have no idea if it could work but sounds fun.

At 5:12 you have it backwards. 250/10 > 300/15. I enjoyed the faster games, although some missions were incompatible.

You suggestions are interesting, but your suggestion around switching the point counting to a WIP roll seem to realy strengthen the first player, since if he can assassinate either the other guy's lieutenant or his commlink, he will greatly diminish his ability to call in reinforcements.

Please adjust the volume of your pre-stream music to that of your actual stream volume. The pre-stream music is deafening.

I don’t think it’s a good mechanic. Combat jump and parachutist exists. I don’t know what CB thought they were doing with this “game mode”. I think your suggestion are good. I would like to see missions that make the reinforcement rule make sense. There are obviously scenarios where reinforcements is bordering broken. I scratch my head at the need and reason for the mode. The coordinated order for combat jumping and/or parachute troops arriving is the rule that would make people think about more CJ in army creation and that is interesting.

I’ve been to two major Reinforcement tourneys. But not this year in 2024.

I plat white company,and IMHO NA2 faction has the worst commlink unit in the entire game:wardriver(unlinkable ,half a hacker,and COMMLINK(0).Why CB,why?),the most BORING,and probably the worst reinforcement list. So no, i refuse to play reinforcement with my army.
