bunkbess20 Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Going to my first infinity tournament this weekend and was wondering if any seasoned tourney goers have any tip or advice to give. I've have familiar lists, foods sorted, and plan to hydrate. Could i be missing something? Also anyone be in town for this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exile Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Take what you're using in your two lists, some repair tools, and leave the big kit at home - a tournament tray will help you move [big bad swear word] around, and you won't necessarily have do dig in your bag for a model.

Raindog Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 1. Have a tray/ cookie tin to move your army from match to match to save time between games. 2. Shake hands when you meet your opponent. 3. If your opponent has a terrible game or terrible luck, buy him a drink. 4. Clearly show how you spend orders. Flip the token or place them in another pool when they are spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Rock Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Expanding on #4 from Raindog: have your tokens ready and organized right away. Bring only the tokens you'll need, and lay out what you need during your opponent's deployment in an organized fashion. Bring a notepad and pen or pencil, so you can write down notes about camo markers and stuff. Know your models and their rules intimately. Know the scenarios. Know any terrain rules you might run into. Most Infinity games & tournaments are just on regular urban tables, but sometimes TOs will throw a wrinkle in with woods or mountains or something. If you have questions, ask the TO. Don't be a rules lawyer, but don't be afraid to self-advocate if your opponent is trying to convince you of dubious rules interpretations. Most importantly, have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Talk about the terrain before hand, so there is no misunderstanding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunkbess20 Posted June 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Well the weekend has come and gone and to be honest just yesterday was i able to recover. Had an absolute blast playing 4 games of armory, firefight, tic tac toe, and eng deck. went 2 and 2 and placed 27th. All in all think i did well plan went according to plan until they didnt... mostly kodali getting crit one or two orders after she landed with 6-7 more to spend on her. Played NCA, Acon, OSS and vanilla nomads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunkbess20 Posted June 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 there were some more tables but ive hit my limit. Did not have a tourney tray, and that will be fixed for next time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 We done sir! You can always load photos on a separate reply later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunkbess20 Posted June 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 good call! For it being my first time i believe ill get better coverage next year. more pics and turn shots. I was so worried being under time that i was laser focused and missed out on any action shots. Lee the gentleman that put it on assembled a great group of players, had tons of prize support, (for all 47 people) with some left over. Snagged me a squallo for my pan o as a prize, (score!) Would highly recommend if anyone is over this way that weekend to join in, i'm going to try and convince my wife and boys to come with me next time and they can pool it the whole day while i game then i don't have to do the 3+ hour drive home. All in all it was an awsome time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 So looking at these tables and thinking about them over week, I would like to point out how open these tables are. There are multiple long fire lanes. There few are dense corridors and little scatter terrain. There is nothing wrong with these tables, but it different from what I am use to playing on.

Sgt. Rock Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Yeah, they definitely seem to be much more in the "European style" than what we're used to out here. Particularly that table in the second from last photo you uploaded... that MASSIVE gap on one side of the table really screws deployment for whoever loses the roll off.

Exile Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 That penultimate photo HAS to be unfinished setup wise. Look at the pile of stuff on top of the bottom left corner 'building'. Even fleshed out, those are some pretty bare tables. Not much in the way of partial cover I'm seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Perhaps they were on the thin side for terrain. We are blessed in the NW for abundance of tables, at the club, in the city , and region Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunkbess20 Posted July 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 yea they were still building that when i took the pictures in the morning. It was given away as a prize for the best preforming meta though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
