I wanted to take some time to put together a good informational post about our venue. Some of you might already be familiar and we are happy to see you returning. For all the new people coming through, this venue is the nicest place I have seen an OFCC happen. From the humble beginnings of the barn and the armory, the Hilton delivers comfort and luxury like no other! Map & Directions The Gaming Hall We booked the largest venue offered by the Hilton, The Heritage Ballroom. That’s 11,000 square feet dedicated to your gaming weekend. High pile carpets caress your feet as you stand across from your opponents (Yes, I played barefoot one year). 18 feet of ceiling space softens the roar of battle coming from across the hall. Brilliant dynamic lighting sets the mood and provides for a not-so-squinty Sunday morning. A dedicated entrance on the east side of the Hilton along with a section of 5 minute parking make loading your things into the hall fast and convenient. Parking Parking is not included in your room stay. The Hilton has parking in their secure garage for $18 per day. However, there are plenty of parking options for the weekend. Any public metered spot is available for free on the weekend. There is also a cheaper pay garage NE of the Hilton, the Park N’ Go located with an entrance off W 6th St. Feel free to use the 5 minute loading/unloading zone located off Columbia St to unload your army and bags into the hall. Please note, we will be using part of this area for loading/unloading of terrain and tables Sunday at 4PM. Local Attractions What venue would be complete without some cool stuff around it? The Downtown Vancouver area always delivers. Almost all of it walkable. The Vancouver Farmers Market takes place every weekend morning across the street in Esther Short Park. Esther Short Park will host Viva Vancouver Latin Festival on the same weekend. Loowit Brewing Company is right out the hall doors and across the street. They fill growlers! Joe’s Crab Shack and its infamously long wait times is within walking distance and will provide Shark Bites by the tray full. Take a tour of the new waterfront reconstruction built on top of the hollowed gaming grounds previously provided by the Red Lion at the Quay. So many other restaurants, bars, and everything else all right next to a great gaming weekend. Please follow the steps below to get our discounted room rate before they are all gone!

2018 The Ninth Age OFCC Hello fellow wargamers. I am happy to announce to you the 2018 OFCC T9A event in Vancouver Washington on August 25th and 26th! This event will contain massive monsters, hordes of minions, hardened generals, and epic battles. Here are some links that you may find useful: Tickets: http://www.ordofanaticus.com/store/product/46-2018-ofcc-9th-age-event-sat-and-sun/ Tournament Packet: (OFCC 2018 in my signature) T9A Rules: https://www.the-ninth-age.com/filebase/index.php?file/478/ Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/245271142649834/ Never played T9A before? The Ninth Age (T9A) is a rank & file fantasy wargame inspired by the world of Warhammer Fantasy. The rules play very similar to WHFB 8th edition, and all armies are still compatible with T9A. The game has various rules changes to help clarify rules, speed up game play, and balance out some of the uber powerful units of old. Additionally, T9A has brought in new ideas, concepts, unit designs, and special rules to help spice up the experience. The best part about T9A is that you have freedom to use whatever models from whichever company you wish. Finally, all the rules are, and will remain, free! Event Structure: This event is a singles event utilising Swiss style match-ups. Initial matchups will be determined randomly. Every round will have a new deployment type, a new secondary objective, and a new special rule. Scoring will be based on official T9A scoring from the rulebook. We will do our best to make sure you get to play people you have never played before to make this an event to remember! Event Rules: At OFCC we want to provide you with a great wargaming experience. In order to ensure this, we ask of our players to bring a good attitude, to have good sportsmanship, and to relax and have a good time! Being a premiere event, we require all armies to have a minimum of 3-colours for all models, and at least some form of basing (no black plastic please). If you are crunched for time and are worried you will not be ready in time please let me know ASAP, life happens :D. We will be using the 0.204.2 BETA rulebook and all associated armybooks and paths of magic associated. If you are interested in bringing a home-brew army from one of the various home-brew projects in The Ninth Age, let me know and we will figure something out. Awards: Outside of the obvious award of having a great time in an awesome event, we will be competing for 3 main trophies. Best General: This will be determined by the highest cumulative BP scoring player through the 5 game series Best Painted: This will be determined by your peers, with a scoring system of it's own Best Sportsmanship: Quite literally THE BEST prize of all. Best Sportsmanship will be determined through a combination of individual match scores (you score your opponent) and favourite opponent badges (an extra badge for making someones day). This is probably the hardest prize to achieve as it requires you to not only play a good match for your opponent, but to take bad rolls and losses well, and to also be humble about good rolls and crushing victories. A special prize goes to the winner of our Haiku contest, see tournament packet for details. Lists: This tournament is a 4500 point tournament following the list building guidelines for each army-book. You are expected to bring a printed list for yourself and for each of your opponents (6 in total). For other details, check out the packet or join us on the thread. Hope to see you there!

The Ordo Fanaticus Club Challenge is fast approaching! This year the event will OFCC will be held from Friday, August 24 thru August 26, at the Hilton located at 301 W 6th Street in downtown Vancouver, Washington. The Club Challenge will feature two Infinity Events. This year’s event is the Rampage. Initially, I wanted a team challenge, but there is not the demand. Instead, this will be a individual, narrative event. Players will be able to use two single, 200 point, limited insertion lists. A single 12 point Spec Op is needed with each list. All models need to be painted to a three color minimum. Scoring will be based on sportsmanship, painting, achievements, and theme. Infinity is a cooperative game system. We want everybody to have a great time and will be awarding points for sportsmanship with each game. We are playing with toy soldiers. Let’s have fun! The Infinity Team Challenge is not an ITS, but we will count wins and losses and well as a a check list of achievements. Each player will be given a list of goals. There are over thirty. You can only score them once. It may be impossible to reach them all. Try your best to complete them all during your five games. Number of Players: 30! This can increase if sales demand it: Days: This is a 2 Day Event Points: 200, two lists, and a 12 point spec op. Scoring: 

Battle Scores: (55 points max) A major win is worth 5 points (a win by 5 points or more), a minor win is worth 3 points, and a tie is worth 1 point. There will be a check list worth an additional 40 points and will be totaled after all five games. Painting: Players will vote for their favorite army 5 Points per first place vote. 1 Point per second place vote. Sports: (50 points max) Players will vote for their favorite opponent 10 Points per first place vote. 5 Points per second place vote. Theme: (20 Points Max) Geeky Shirt: 10 Points Prize Pool Giveaway: 10 Points Scenarios 1. Mission: High Ground Briefing: Your team has been sent to the Tech-Platform Exile-34. It is a Pan-O corporate concern with rumored dubious funding. Security is tight. Your job is to infiltrate the facility, steal data, and appropriate any portable prototype tech. Reach high ground and scan the area to a make a threat assessment. Scoring: The side with the model on the highest piece of terrain at the end of the game outside the player's own deployment zone wins. To score the full points for the win, the opposing player may have no models outside his deployment area higher than ground level. Special Mission Rule: *All models must start the game on ground level outside their deployment zone. **Models in a null or marker state do not count for scoring. 2. Mission: Doctor, Doctor. Briefing: On arrival, your insertion team finds the station unresponsive. Scans show station personnel down with minimal life signs. Your new mission is to scan and heal as many of the staff as possible. Obtain whatever information you can to help you proceed with your mission. Set-Up: 7 Injured civilians are on the table. They will be placed in the zone that is 8 inches from each side of the center line. No civilian will be within four inches of another. The civilians are prone and will be placed by the TO. The goal is to Forward Observe and heal as many of the civilians as possible. You may not target the civilians for any attacks. Scoring: 4 Points for healing more civilians than your opponent. 3 Points for FOing more civilians than your opponent. 2 Points for killing more opposing doctors / paramedics than your opponent. 1 Point for killing more opposing forward observers than your opponent. Special Mission Rule: Any civilian that has been forward observed, may re-roll its PH roll for any doctoring or for use of the medi-kit, if the forward observing is on the same side. *Palbots can help heal for scoring points in this scenario. 3. Mission: Move, Move, Move! Briefing: From your intel and info stolen from other sources, we have located the data bundles on the far side of the tech platform. Scans show opposing forces and security systems closing in on the bundle hubs. Move your team with all immediacy to the data sites. Set-Up: This scenario is a variation of the Frontline mission. Scoring: Every model that is 12"-24 inches from your table edge is worth one point. Every model that is 24"-36" inches from your table edge is worth 2 points. Every model that is the opposing zone at the end of the game is worth 3 points. Your Spec-OP adds a point for being in a scoring zone. *Infiltration, AD, and Mechanized Deployment units are encouraged! ** Scores will be not be traditional in this scenario. A Maximum value of 5 tournament points will be awarded for a major win. 4. Mission: Seize the Data Briefing: Breach the data farm. Locate the data consoles. Download as much data as possible while preventing opposing forces from doing the same. Set-Up: This scenario is a variation of the Safe Area Mission. With consoles in each center of the four quadrants. Downloading data from the console requires a short skill attack roll based on WIP. Only Specialist may attempt to download data. Hackers and Engineers may use a command token to re-roll failed attempts. Since the amount of information in the data farm is significant, the downloading process takes time. The opposing side stop a download and switch the feed to their servers. The side that is downloading data at the end of the game counts as scoring. Controlling a console requires having any friendly model in base to base contact. The model may not be in a marker state. Scoring: Hold the same number of quadrants as your opponent at the end of the game: 1 point Hold more quadrants than your opponent at the end of the game: 2 points Control a console at the end of the game: 1 point per each console. *This means touching the console. Downloading a console at the end of the game: 1 point per each console. **This per each individual Console. *+ The baggage rule is used in this scenario. 5. Mission: Escape Briefing: Alert. Our doctors and bio-engineers have analyzed the data retrieved from the dead station personnel and the data downloads. A deadly nano cloud has breached the containment seals on several levels. The damage is spreading. Retreat to extraction points immediately. Set-Up: This scenario is a variation of Biotechvore. At the end of each turn, the nano clouds expands six inches from all four sides of the table. After turn two, the clouds has expanded 12 inches into the board. After turn three, the affected area is up to 18 inches into the table. The cloud acts as a Low Visibility zone. Models caught in the nano cloud at the end of the turn suffer a Damage 12 wound using the viral special ammunition rule. Along the table edge, on each end of the center line of table, is an escape hatch. An additional hatch is in the center of the table. The escape hatch opens automatically and allows up to four 25 mm bases or one 40+ mm base on it. A short order attack allows models to escape. One the model escapes. They score for victory points, but no longer generate orders. Models leaving the table via the hatch escape the nano cloud. Scoring: Have the same amount of points of models escape at the end of the game as your opponent. 1 point Have more points of models escape at the end of the game than your opponent. 3 points Have the same number of models escape: 1 point Have a greater number of models escape than your opponent: 3 points Have more points alive on the table than your opponent at the end of the game as your opponent. 1 point Have more points alive on the table than your opponent at the end of the game than your opponent. 2 points Have your Spec- OP escape: 1 Point Have your Lt. escape: 1 Point OFCC Checklist OFCC 2018 Schedule

High pile carpets caress your feet as you stand across from your opponents (Yes, I played barefoot one year). 18 feet of ceiling space softens the roar of battle coming from across the hall. Brilliant dynamic lighting sets the mood and provides for a not-so-squinty Sunday morning. A dedicated entrance on the east side of the Hilton along with a section of 5 minute parking make loading your things into the hall fast and convenient. Parking Parking is not included in your room stay. The Hilton has parking in their secure garage for $18 per day. However, there are plenty of parking options for the weekend. Any public metered spot is available for free on the weekend. There is also a cheaper pay garage NE of the Hilton, the Park N’ Go located with an entrance off W 6th St. Feel free to use the 5 minute loading/unloading zone located off Columbia St to unload your army and bags into the hall. Please note, we will be using part of this area for loading/unloading of terrain and tables Sunday at 4PM. Local Attractions What venue would be complete without some cool stuff around it? The Downtown Vancouver area always delivers. Almost all of it walkable. · The Vancouver Farmers Market takes place every weekend morning across the street in Esther Short Park. · Esther Short Park will be hosting The 21st Annual Wine and Jazz Festival. · Loowit Brewing Company is right out the hall doors and across the street. They fill growlers! · Joe’s Crab Shack and its infamously long wait times is within walking distance and will provide Shark Bites by the tray full. · Take a tour of the new waterfront reconstruction built on top of the hollowed gaming grounds previously provided by the Red Lion at the Quay. · So many other restaurants, bars, and everything else all right next to a great gaming weekend.

⭐⭐⭐Did you know... The Southstorm Squids' original pitch was actually ten meters underwater? Back when the team was sourced from the local 'Fishman' population, the pitch was an aquatic nightmare for opponents. During the Storm of Chaos, nearly the entire Fishman population was levied into the Bretonnian conscription, and subsequently deceased at the hands of Chaos. The result? The Squids' management decided to bring the pitch above water to the now infamous Southstorm Schooner, and has drafted an all new, non-gilled, team of humans from the local pubs and colleges.

HISTORY A long time ago, back when Games Workshop still ran Grand Tournaments, back in the infancy of Ordo, back in sixth Edition, WHFB players would flock to Seattle and play in the Pro-Football stadium. At the Grand Tournament, there were a lot of great people to meet and great armies to gaze on. The geek fest was palatable. There were two problems with the Grand Tournaments. First, this was well before the Internet created mega lists and offered tools and techniques to play against them. Player pools were smaller. Some gamers brought the models they had. Others brought honed lists that destroyed opponents. The Swiss System helped fix the inequity, but the first few games could be painful. Beat downs were inevitable and ugly. Second, for every 20 great guys, there was one person you would never ever want to play against. They were rude. They cheated. They made up rules. They would pick up bad dice rolls and claim they had rolled the opposite They would move models without measuring..... These players ruined the Grand Tournaments. But since there were so many cool guys, could we run our own event? Absolutely! We started in barn with a handful of clubs. It was called the NW Team Challenge. We made a hobby weekend. Jokes and painting and sportsmanship were valued more than winning. The Shop of Chop hosted the event. Ordo, the Z Games crew, and the WCP from Vancouver, B.C. played. It was a blast. The next year, thanks to Karl Gatke, we could expanded to an armory. The Da Mama's Boyz came, players came from Seattle and the Willamette Valley, and the team challenge became a proper event. We rated lists and tried to match armies with armies of equal toughness. Every year, a committee made of different members of clubs rated lists and made adjustments as books came out and editions changed. There were always hard restrictions. Items and units were banned: No Greater Daemons, No Dragons.... Magic levels were limited. There had never been Special Characters allowed. Captains were ambassadors of their clubs. Since the event was invitational, a captain vouched for his team and explained the nature of the event. After Club Challenges, players who were problematic were banned. In some cases, captains went so far to tell people on their teams, who were not banned, to grow up, chill out, and come back a few years later. Over the years clubs have folded, others have expanded, new clubs like the Black Sheep and Chop! have stepped in to fill the event with beautiful armies and Great Opponents. The Northwest Team Challenge has become the Ordo Fanaticus Club Challenge. We added sponsors. Later,we moved to a hotel, so we could all stay in one place and game for hours. In 2014, we combine the two events into one and made it a 4 day event with side events. The highest honor has always been sportsmanship. As long as Ordo runs the event, it will be a fun event featuring sportsmanship and balanced play. The Club Challenge is not for everyone, but fortunately, there are many large events. Some have heavy comp. Others don't. Pick the style of event you like. We run a team event where you can stand with your buddies and play people you look forward to each year.
