MuRm's Minis: Ottawa Newbie Friendly Tournament

Showdown in the desert valley

We recently had an Infinity tournament here in Ottawa, held at Fandom II and run by Penemue. It was designed to be newbie friendly, meaning that there were rules in place to make things easier for the newer players, which would be at least half of the participants.

I also decided to challenge myself and run a list with 5 models, at which point the other veteran players also decided to challenge themselves and run something similar. The tournament was 3 rounds, with the scenario changing each round. The scenarios themselves are posted up at Penemue's blog. The idea was that we would be tracking down a rogue AI across various battlefields, until we finally confront her in the final round.

Sadly, several people could not make it to the tournament for various reasons, but we still had six players and decent diversity between factions. Here are the lists, as best as I can remember them:
