This N4 rule is not used in CodeOne.

Annex Rule

This rule is from the annex to the Infinity N4 ruleset, containing a series of rules, special skills, weapons and pieces of equipment which have been adapted to the N4 system, but with a provisional nature. Rules included here are completely official, however they may be modified in further expansions of the N4 ruleset.


Update March 2022

Fireteam Creation

Each Army has a Fireteams Chart that indicates the quantity and type of Fireteams that the player may create during the game.

  • During the Deployment Phase, place a Fireteam Leader Token (FIRETEAM LEADER), or equivalent, beside one of the Troopers that meet the Requirements of this rule.
    In that moment, the player must make a Coherency Check relative to the chosen Fireteam Leader.
  • During the game, spend a Command Token and place a Fireteam Leader Token (FIRETEAM LEADER) beside one of the Troopers that meet the instructions of the Fireteams Chart of their Army.
IMPORTANT

When a Fireteam is created, the player must declare which Troopers are part of it.

Fireteam Types

The types of Fireteams that the player may use during a match are:

Fireteam Duo

General Rules of Fireteams

  • The members of a Fireteam must observe the Coherency rule in regards to the Fireteam Leader.
  • A Trooper cannot simultaneously be part of more than one Fireteam.
  • All members of a Fireteam must belong to the same Combat Group.
  • When a Regular Order is spent on a member of a Fireteam, they automatically become the Fireteam Leader. Additionally, they activate the other members of the Fireteam (see Fireteam Order).
  • Fireteams must contain of a minimum of two Troopers and a maximum of five Troopers (always observing the Army’s Fireteams Chart).
  • Fireteams allow the use of the Fireteam Bonuses for two, three, four, or five members depending on the Composition and number of Troopers in the Fireteam.


Fireteams and CC

  • In Close Combat, whether in the Active or Reactive Turn, when several members are engaged in the same CC, only the Fireteam Leader can be chosen to perform the CC Roll, applying the Close Combat with Multiple Troopers rule.
  • In the Reactive Turn, if the Fireteam Leader is not engaged in that CC, the player must choose one of the Fireteam members who are engaged in that CC to perform the CC Roll, applying the Close Combat with Multiple Troopers rule.
  • In ARO, the enemy will be able to target any Fireteam member engaged in the CC, but only one of them.


Fireteams, Frenzy and Impetuous

  • While in a Fireteam, the Frenzy and Impetuous Special Skills of a Trooper are not applied. (See FAQs & Errata.)
  • If the Trooper leaves the Fireteam, any Frenzy and Impetuous Special Skills will apply again, in whatever state they were in when the Trooper joined the Fireteam.
  • Any Fireteam that is an exception to this rule will specify this in its description.


Fireteams and Suppressive Fire State

A Trooper stops being part of a Fireteam if they enter Suppressive Fire State. In addition, a Trooper’s Suppressive Fire State is cancelled when joining a Fireteam.


Fireteams and Comms Attack

In the Reactive Turn, if the Fireteam has more than one Hacker and the player declares a Hacking ARO, every reactive Hacker may use a different Hacking Program.


Fireteams, Motorcycles, and Pilots

Pilots—and Troopers possessing a Motorcycle—can Mount or Dismount from their Motorcycle or TAG and use their new Unit Profile without leaving their Fireteam.

However, in the case of a Pilot (Remote), if the player performs a Reset to regain control of their TAG, it automatically leaves the Fireteam.
