| Su Jian vs the world. |
Last weekend, we held an Infinity tournament here in Ottawa/Hull at the Boutique FDB. Although not explicitly aimed at beginners like the last tourney, the atmosphere and scenarios were still designed to create a casual, friendly environment. We had a solid turnout of eight people, with a good mix of newer and more experienced players. I did not participate as I was running it. Overall, the tournament went pretty well and I look forward to the next one.
The scenarios used were the ones I posted up earlier, and are listed below. They were made to have different objectives each round, but all of them generally encouraged moving models up to the halfway mark, which is doable even for a slow force, and supporting them throughout so they could complete their objectives.
Round One: Crack the Code
Round Two: Rescue the Survivors
Round Three: Control the Sector

Endalyon came in first with the strongest overall record. The random draw prizes went to Bayruun and Oni_dave. Zebuth got the most VP for the day.
Below are the top four rankings of the tournament, as well as the other players with their factions. Following that are shots of the tables used during the day, then the army lists everyone used.

| The desert board, featuring free-standing LoF blocking structures, including some tall ones. |
 |
| The industrial site. Characterized by rooms on the outside and fierce fighting in the middle. |
 |
| The abandoned complex has room to move around, but corners to duck behind as well. |
 |
| The asphalt pit contains many opportunities to gain higher ground, but that reward carries risk. |
 |
| The Victorian era portal reappears. Its restrictive zones generally favours mobile units. |

I managed to convince Endalyon, Penemue, and Tevesh to run different army compositions from what they're used to, for the sake of challenging themselves. So, their army lists may have some unusual choices, and may even be different from what they usually advocate.
I also want to give a shout out to Wildrage and Bayruun. Wildrage, a new Infinity player, was mostly running units he had never played before, because he prioritized playing with models he liked over going with the sure bets. Bayruun has been a long time proponent of the Crane Agent, and put his money where his mouth is by making it his Lt.
I'll have another post up later with more photos, as well as comments on how the day played out.
