Cameronian Attack @ Leisure Hour Hobbies

On Saturday July 26th a group of eight Spec Ops embarked on a secret O-12 mission. They were tasked with breaching a secret underground laboratory beneath an abandoned military base. The mission was frought  with danger as the area surrounding the base had a large population of Dog Warrior rebels that were drawn to the base for unexplained reasons. The labratory was also rumored to hold several captured Combined troops that were no doubt unhappy to be experimented on. 

We had a better than expected turnout for this event. The rules for which can be found:

There were eight players that pretty much stomped their way through the two maps. Every player took the die rolls for XP and the lowest score was 55 I believe. There were some beefy Spec ops running around. 

Looking back,next time we do something like this we will be capping the amount of XP that a player can get. Probably using 25 +1D6 as starting Xp. That should give everyone a more even playing field. The more powerful characters were able to do the missions far too easily and left nothing but scraps for the others. We will also be instituting another method of determining activation order. Players will roll a WIP test at the beginning of the game and will activate starting with the best roll. 

Thanks to everyone that came out. It was awesome to meet some new Infinity players. 

Not enough pics were taken as I was too enthralled in the game. 1 vs. 8 is a lot if AROs to keep track of :)

July I.T.S. Tournament and logging festival.

On Saturday we had another tournament. This one was a primer for the 2014 Gencon Invitational where we hope to send Scadugenga from our group. The top prize for thst event is a trip to Vigo, Spain to compete in the 2015 Interplanetary Tournament. 

The tournament format was a single 300 point list with a 12 Xp Spec Ops model.

The missions are Lifeblood,Antennae Field and no ones favorite Beacon Race. These are some of the toughest I.T.S. scenarios for this season. 

This was one of the oddest tourneys of the season. The first round went off with out a hitch. We decided to take a lunch and most of the guys went to go get sandwiches only to return to this:

That's tree was in my front yard then it was in the street. So after feverishly clearing it from the road we ate our lunch and finished up the tournament. I have to thank all of you for helping get that beast out of the road. 

The rest of the day was relatively uneventful with the final standings being

1. Scadugenga 

2. Turlisk

3 . Bebot

4. Sphendule

5. Celestial Dragon King

6. Angron

7. Kelreth

8. Kuozar

Here's the layouts we used;

June I.T.S Tournament

Here's some (bad) pics of the action

4 Benot
5 Celestial Dragon King
6 Kuozar
7.Angron

Leisure Hours Demos a SUCCESS

On Friday I went out to Leisure Hours Hobbies for an Infinity Bootcamp and it went great. I did three introductory games and all three players enjoyed the game. Two of them already had armies, just hadn't played yet. 

Thanks to Jon over at Leisure Hours for having me, can't wait to do it again. If your ever out in Joliet you have to check this store out. They have one of the most well stocked Infinity sections around.  

Doing Work, Warcor Style

Coming up on Friday the 20th of June I'll be doing my first Infinity Bootcamp at Leisure Hour Hobbies in Joliet, IL. I will be there from 6ish PM until they close at 9PM.  

I'm super excited, not only for the opportunity to share the awesome game of Infinity with other gamers, but my favorite BBQ  place is right down the street.
