Tournament Mission 1 - Touchdown.

The OIA is soon going to run a newbie-friendly Infinity tournament in the heart of Ottawa, and I thought I'd post some of the scenarios we'll be using on this blog.  Feel free to use them for your own games or tournaments!



Mission 1 - Touchdown
Turn Limit: 4 full turns.

Setup: objectives are CD-sized.  Place one objective outside each player's deployment zone, centred on the middle line between players.  The outside edge of each objective should be touching the player's deployment zone edge, but the objective itself should not be in the zone.

Place two objectives so that the centre of each objective overlaps the centre line of the board.  Each objective should be on one half of the table (divided down the centre), and the outside edge of each objective should be 12" from the side table edge.  If you look at the objective layout from each deployment zone, the CDs should form a diamond shape.
Terrain can be placed around, but not touching, the objective plates.  Leaving the plates in the open will make for a more interesting game.

Deployment: models cannot deploy or otherwise enter the board directly on an objective plate using Infiltration, Impersonation, Mechanized Deployment, or AD of any level.

Scoring:
At the end of a given player’s turn, that player scores 1 VP for each objective plate he controls.

To control an objective plate, a player must have at least one model completely on the plate without any opposing models also completely on the plate.

Markers cannot control or contest objective plates.

At the end of four full turns, the player with the most VP wins.  If players are tied, the player currently controlling the most objective plates wins.

The reasons I left CKP - taken down from that blog by Endalyon

For those who may be interested, here is a repost of the reasons why I left Crits Kill People.  Endalyon took down my original farewell post and locked me out of the CKP account. --- Hey, this is Penemue.  I'm the fellow that brought you such articles as a rundown on the  Bane band , a criticism of the alleged  "uselessness"  of certain weapons, and a laundry list of  roles that players misunderstand  when they play Infinity.  I've been part of Crits Kill People since the start, when Tevesh suggested we start a blog that would become an authority on Batman and rival all the other blogs on Infinity. The dream was to release daily content to build our cache with readers, and I'd like to think we've succeeded pretty well with that. It's sad, then, for me to announce that I'm leaving CKP. There are a number of reasons I can't continue to work with this blog, but I promised Tevesh that I would keep this short and sweet.  Here goes. Although I

The Molotok

Image
Property of Corvus Belli.  From Campaign: Paradiso . With Paradiso's arrival, Ariadna has finally received a weapon that might start replacing our beloved HMG.  The Molotok (meaning hammer in a bajilion Eastern European languages) is Ariadna's version of the Spitfire, and I have to admit that despite my initial excitement at hearing about a new weapon...I was a bit underwhelmed when I first saw it. I mean, one of the main draws of the Spitfire is that it is at +3 from 0-24", covering that blind spot that the HMG sometimes gets into (especially on units that start or blitz up the board).  The Molotok doesn't have that blind spot covered.  In fact, it's just like an HMG but with a shorter/smaller +3 range, and nothing to make up for it. Nothing except the cost, that is.  HMGs are expensive buggers, and Molotoks seem cheap like nobody's business.  As Corvus Belli has requested players not to reveal the formula they use to design units, I won't be too

Happy New Year - and Updates!

Happy new year, everyone! I've just gotten back from my short vacation, and now I'm starting to work on a gentle revamp of various units for Pendant World. Inspired by the conversation I had with playtesters last time, I'm looking to streamline some units and provide a lot more in the way of reactive options. Stay tuned!
