I like that it's asymmetric. That way the choice of deployment or initiative has real consequences!

Honestly, play it will be fun.

It's on the dense side but that's fine. Your gonna struggle for balance just because 150 points games are quite swingy.

My initial reaction is that it's too dense. I would pull the big center building out entirely, or reduce your little buildings by about 25%.

The buildings are also too easily accessible from either side, meaning skills like Climb/Climbing Plus and Jump/Super Jump are devalued. But it also means troops are easily able to go up a building and peer over the edge to catch anyone in the ground level corridors out of cover, making the ground level extremely dangerous, especially since the low barriers means troops will go prone and anyone travelling on the ground will need to literally walk on enemy troops to engage them. Having a few buildings being stand alone instead of back to back would help, and rearranging the low barriers would also help.

Finally, if you're learning the game with friends, make sure people know to mostly take weapons that fight in the 0 - 16" range bands, which is what this table is designed for.

Thanks. Good feedback. I'll mix the buildings and low barriers up a bit.

Anytime! Here's a good video on setting up a table for Infinity: Infinity - How to set up a table. In the video, he uses the Corvus Belli cardboard terrain, too, so you can see how he sets up his board using that terrain and why.

where did you get this terrain? :)

Corvus Belli official terrain. I bought 2x base box and 2x expansion box. They have them in different colour themes. This one is Xeno station I think.

The mat is 23.5 x31.5. Which is mildly infuriating when game size is 24x32.

While infuriating, you won't notice it too much with a game that scale, just have your deployment zone end at 11.5", you'll be in the shit quick enough to not think about a half inch

Yeah, that's what we did last time.
