Game Round

Infinity games are divided into Game Rounds, or Rounds, during which both players have the chance to take an active role. This means each Round is divided into two Player Turns, or Turns, one for each player.

At the start of a Round, a new Player Turn begins, following the turn order determined during the Initiative Phase.

Player Turn

During each Turn there is an Active Player and a Reactive Player. The Active Player can activate his Troopers and execute actions, while the Reactive Player can react to the activation of the Active Player’s Troopers (see ARO: Automatic Reaction Order).

Start of the Turn: Tactical Phase
1. Executive Use of Command Tokens
2. Retreat! Check
3. Loss of Lieutenant check
4. Order Count
Impetuous Phase
Orders Phase
States Phase
End of the Turn

Start of the Turn: Tactical Phase

The Tactical Phase is the step when the Active Player makes a series of quick checks before they start activating their Troopers.

Executive Use of Command Tokens

The Active Player may make Executive Use of their Command Tokens.

Retreat! Check

The Active Player counts his Victory Points to see if he enters a Retreat! situation (see End-Game Conditions).

Loss of Lieutenant Check

The Active Player checks whether he is in Loss of Lieutenant.

Order Count

The Active Player counts how many Orders he has at his disposal for this Turn, by counting the number, type and States of his Troopers.

Regular Orders

For each Regular Trooper deployed on the table, as a Model or Marker, that is not in a Null State (Unconscious, Dead…), the Active Player adds one Regular Order to the corresponding Order Pool.

Irregular Orders

For each Irregular Trooper deployed on the table, as a Model or Marker, that is not in a Null State, the Active Player places an Irregular Order Token on the table, making it clear which Combat Group it belongs to.

Lieutenant Special Order

If the Active Player has a Lieutenant deployed on the table, as a Model or Marker, that is not in a Null State, the Active Player places the Special Lieutenant Order in a visible place.

Tactical Order

For each Trooper with Tactical Awareness deployed on the table, as a Model or Marker, that is not in a Null State, the Active Player places a Tactical Order on the table, next to the Trooper.

REMEMBER

Each Combat Group has its own independent Order Pool, Irregular Orders, and Tactical Orders.

REMEMBER

Troopers that have yet to be deployed on the table as Models or Markers (for example, due to the Combat Jump Special Skill) do not contribute their Order to the Order Pool. Undeployed Troopers' Orders are Private Information, so their player can keep their Orders secret and out of sight of the opponent.

Impetuous Phase

During this phase, the Active Player may activate each Trooper with the Impetuous Special Skill once, without spending an Order.

Orders Phase

This is the main phase of the Player Turn, when the Active Player gets to use their Order Pool, Irregular Orders, Tactical Orders, and the Lieutenant Special Order to activate their Troopers. The Active Player has no obligation to expend all Orders. However, unused Orders cannot be reserved for subsequent Turns and are lost.

States Phase

Once the Active Player runs out of Orders, or decides not to use the remaining ones, both players will carry out any checks for those States or Skills that require it. These rolls do not generate AROs.

End of the Turn

Once all checks are made, the Active Player Turn ends.
