OIA Spec Ops Doubles Tournament!

Last Saturday, Fandom II and the Ottawa Infinity Association hosted a Spec Ops Doubles Tournament.  The rules are available for download here if you're interested in running a similar event, or even just in making use of the scenarios for your own amusement.  Heck, we even had enough interest and questions that a small FAQ was generated.  Check it out!


Here are a bunch of pictures from the event itself.  The lighting in the basement is a bit subpar, and my flash wasn't working all that well, but hopefully they give you an idea of the fun that was had!

David - ALEPH
Henshini - Yu Jing

-The Highlights-

Alpha
Tevesh's Husam squares off against a Vortex.  And 4 mines.

Overlord's Bakunin and Henshini's Yu Jing corner the market on terminals.
After laying all her mines in the middle, Overlord's Zero menaces a Naffatun.

Tevesh's final model - a Naffatun - braves three Shoot AROs and a mine.
The Naffatun torches a Zero that stands in his way.
The immortal Naffatun's ARM rolls against those Damage 13 AROs...

Beta

Players evaluate terminal locations.

Henshini's Guilang gets dangerously close to Aleph's terminal, and David responds in force.
Henshini's forces secure a friendly terminal.

David's Deva eyes an enemy terminal...with enemy Camo in the way.
Opposing sides lay down their defences...
Robock wonders how he'll get to that terminal.  Luckily for him, his Vortex just got Super-Jump...
Robock's Daktari tries to chase Overlord's Zero away.

Gamma
Tevesh's Husam gets away with a big-headed civilian.
Robock's Vortex stalks around the park perimeter...
Robock's Zero lays down Suppressive Fire on a Guilang...
...and is snuffed out like a candle on the next turn.
David's Aleph gets away with a big-headex civilian, but Henshini's Guilang gives chase...
...and, against the odds, finishes the job.
Robock's Morlock lays down Smoke, anticipating fire from Camo markers upfield.

-The Results-

In the end, Henshini came away with first place, followed by Overlord in second.  Everyone had a lot of fun, and learned way too much about how Mines work.

I hope you enjoyed all the photos and the tables we built.  Until next time!

  1. I wish I and Ontos didn't miss the tournament and the boards looked damn fine. Next time, Gadget, next time... (why is my car always trailling smoke?)
