Infinity: Haytham Aero-unit

Frontier air power attracts a particular kind of pilot: the ones nobody else wanted, flying for a commander obsessed with owning the sky above the border. The Haytham aero unit is what that obsession produces, and it gives Haqqislam a way to arrive from a direction the other player has not prepared for.

Aerial options change the geometry of a game. Instead of grinding up the table through whatever your opponent has laid out, you get to choose where the fight starts, which is worth a great deal in scenarios decided by objectives rather than casualties.

• Faction: Haqqislam, including Ramah Taskforce lists.
• Role: aerial deployment and reach for an established army.
• Who it suits: a player who likes dictating where an engagement happens.

Supplied in metal and resin, unpainted and unassembled. Arriving from the sky is only an advantage if you have judged the timing, and judging that takes an understanding of the order pool and the reactive turn that a first game will not give you. Learn the core rules through a two player starter, then add the air support.
