Operation Red Veil aka Get Ready For Some Haqqislam and Yu Jing Awesomeness


This news is a little late as most of the Infinity community has known about Operation Red Veil since last week. Most of the info for it was supposed to drop this week during Beast of Wars Infinity Week but a little slip up saw the videos posted up ahead of time. Some people with quick hands snapped some screenshots before the videos were tucked away.

Now though the Beasts Of War Infinity week is in full swing. So lets see what Red Veil is giving us!

Yu Jing Vs Haqqislam
This is going to be another 2-player starter set. Operation Icestorm was the first that featured PanOceania vs Nomads. With Red Veil it's going to be Yu Jing vs Haqqislam.

For those who aren't familiar with these two factions here's a brief rundown of them.

Yu Jing: The jack of all trades faction in Infinity. Does a lot of things good but they don't excel at one thing. They are known for having the largest variety and diversified selection of heavy infantry out of all of the factions. Need a big gun platform, a HI who can go invisible, maybe one that can start half way up the board, a cheap HI? Well Yu Jing has all of those.

Haqqislam: Biotech, medicine, and a lot of light infantry. Haqqislam has some of the best doctors in the game and posses some super soldier units that to their biotech. Opposite of Yu Jing they are known for their large variety and diversified selection of line infantry. On top all of that as well they boast the highest average of Willpower among the factions. Comes in handy for things like discovering camo units, doctoring, and accomplishing objectives.

Moving onto what's in the box.
