Upcoming ITC scoring changes

[Lyraeus]

The Changes to ITC scoring is coming! Insert Belt theme. 

These changes are in a beta stage now but they are still in need of testing and thoughts like all things. 

The Missions

• March is set to be used as a Beta Test for the ITC Missions. Play the missions throughout March at your FLGs and tournaments, then we will compile your feedback from the TOs and Judges in order to set the missions for the rest of the season.
• The Primary Objectives for the Missions and the Bonuses are remaining the same per popular feedback.
• The Secondaries have a few changes, additions, and an old secondary returning! The way the asterisks and “stacking” secondaries worked was rewritten and reorganized to make it clearer. Below you will find the new Secondaries:
  • Gang Busters:  For every 6 wounds inflicted on a unit that contains more than 1 model with 3 or more wounds, score 1 point.  Units with the SWARM keyword do not count towards this mission.
  • Pick Your Poison: Pick up to four keywords from the following list: psyker, fly, jet bike, vehicle, monster, titanic. You cannot pick a keyword more than once. For each keyword you pick, nominate an enemy unit with that keyword. Score 1 point for each nominated unit that is destroyed.
  • King of the Hill: At the end of the Battle Round the player who chose this secondary scores 1 point if they have two non-character, multimodel, units wholly within 6 inches of the center of the table. Units that score King of the Hill, cannot score Recon, Ground Control, or Engineers.
  • Engineers: Select two non-character/non-fortification units from your army to be Engineers. Starting from Battle Round 2, if either of these units starts and ends your turn within 3” of an objective marker you control, and it did not make any attacks or manifest any psychic powers during your turn, earn 1 point at the end of that turn. These units may not score this objective if they join other units during the course of play or split into multiple units.
• Deployment is going to be looked at as well. Many respondents to the ITC form stated players wanted to use the Chapter Approved 2018 Matched Play deployment. In response to this we are going to try a 50/50 approach. Half the Missions will use the old “you go, I go” deployment and half with use the “new” CA2018 deployment

 

These changes will be going live soon it looks like maybe even over the weekend
