CanCon 2018

We had the Australian Infinity Championships over the Weekend. I was one of the TOs, but also playing (see the tournament blog for heaps more info, especially on the narrative: infinitycancon2018.wordpress.com). People seem to have had a great time, which is the main thing. I also managed to make the top table for the final round despite being totally fried and sleep deprived. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug. Lost there and ended up 8th, but I'm pretty confident in my Infinity abilities now. Which is why I'm retiring! Lists and rounds below:

Camilo Potocnjak-Oxman designed the event logo and Sam Benson free-hand painted it (whhaaaaaaat?!) onto the base of this CSU, which was the prize for best sport.

CanCon Playtesting Tohaa

This is a log of all the playtesting I did for CanCon with my Tohaa. It starts from after War of the Worlds in the first week of October 2017, by which stage I feel like I had the basics of Tohaa down, and the Totally Crit Open the week after where I placed 3rd/14 running a Gorgos in a limited insertion setting (undefeated but I had a draw in a 3 round event).

That's me in the light blue shirt at CanCon 2018

Note that CanCon 2018 has the following missions in the following order: Capture and Protect, The Grid, Power Pack, Acquisition, Highly Classified. It is a spec-ops class tournament i.e. all the missions had to be drawn from the special operations variety of missions.

EDIT: I came 8/68 at CanCon (not so great), but I was on the top table for the last round (i.e. the winner wins the whole tournament), and I played Damien Stallard in round 1 (I reckon if there was a vote people would say Damien is the best player in Australia) so I like to think I know what I'm talking about.

Tournament Report: Wayland Games Christmas Bash

This is a tournament report from December that I put off posting until now because I am a competitive bastard and was paranoid about people getting intel on my lists before CanCon. I'm posting it now.
