Let $ A $ be any affine surjective endomorphism of a solenoid ${\Sigma_{{\mathcal{P}}}} $ over the circle $ S^1 $ which is not an infinite-order translation of $ {\Sigma_{{\mathcal{P}}}}$. We prove the existence of a cylinder absolute winning (CAW) subset $ F \subseteq {\Sigma_{{\mathcal{P}}}} $ with the property that for any $ x \in F $, the orbit closure $ \overline{\{ A^{\ell} x \mid \ell \in {\mathbb{N}} \}} $ does not contain any periodic orbits. A measure $ \mu $ on a metric space is said to be Federer if for all small enough balls around any generic point with respect to $ \mu $, the measure grows by at most some constant multiple on doubling the radius of the ball. The class of infinite solenoids considered in this paper provides, to the best of our knowledge, some of the early natural examples of non-Federer spaces where absolute games can be played and won. Dimension maximality and incompressibility of CAW sets is also discussed for a number of possibilities in addition to their winning nature for the games known from before.

Keywords: Dynamical systems, Hausdorff dimension, Incompressible sets, Non-dense orbits, Schmidt's game.
