Infinity: Mukhtar (Red Fury) [OOP]

Red Fury changes what a unit is for. Where the hacker version of this trooper plays the objective game, this build is pointed straight at the enemy: a high volume weapon on a fast, resilient body, meant to clear light infantry out of the way and open a flank while doing it.

Haqqislam does not usually win by attrition, it wins by getting to the right place before the other player has finished thinking. A Ramah Taskforce list with an aggressive Mukhtar in it has the tool for that, provided you are willing to spend the orders on the push.

• Faction: Haqqislam, Ramah Taskforce.
• Role: offensive trooper for flanking and clearing infantry.
• Note: an older release rather than a current box.

Supplied in metal and resin, unpainted and unassembled. Aggressive units expose you to the reactive turn more than defensive ones do, which is exactly the mechanic new players find hardest, so this rewards somebody with games behind them. Newcomers should learn the core game through a starter set first and then decide how much risk they enjoy taking.
