Event Report: Infinity @ Kessel Run

By: Dozer

Location: Kessel Run Games

Game: Infinity
Format: 1 list, 4 rounds, Infinity RECON

Last Saturday, walking into Kessel Run at 10am in the morning was interesting. Two gents from the Royal Tabletop Regiment showed up and took up 2 tables for Warhammer 40k. A Warmachine+Hordes group took up a pair of tables. Lastly a Batman Miniatures monthly event was happening and another 4 tables were going to be lost. Oh there was also the regular scheduled Magic the Gathering Saturday event and some folks coming in to demo and play X-Wing.

Lucky for me Kessel Run had already planned for my event. They offered both of their rental rooms, I only took the larger room. No need for me to take up both rooms and cut out that possible income for the shop. I also claimed the two board game tables on the raised portion of the store. It let me set up the Admin table and a table for the forth pairing.

The last couple of week leading up to the event, we lost 2 players dropping my numbers down to 8. By round 3 Doc was not feeling well and we lost another player to his boss calling him into work. So the final two pairings we were six players.

I know there was less players because of the fear of experience players wrecking the faces of the newer players but we still had a few come out and were happy from the experience. The swag well accepted. Players that were sporting a Velcro spot on their bags put on their patch. The measuring templates and crates were well used through the matches. Each player was allowed to put on the board a single crate before initiative was rolled so everyone's board had some changes to it.

Lastly the coupons, 10% from the BBQ joint next door was well used. Every player snagged some food and it was brilliant as per normal. Meatings does great Texas style BBQ. I have yet to have anything else other than their brisket and smoked beans but I always fail to get anything else.

After the break I have some pics and final standings.

Forgotten telling all of us how he feels about getting his picture taken.

Rocko looking on as players play round 2.

Ontos has a Foxtrot Ranger climbing a set of crates to target enemy forces and allow for guided weapons to do the rest.

Deep in the Yu-Jing Nippon slums forces make contact and fight to win.

USAriadna are fighting in the shipping yards.

Forces move through the Yu-Jing street market.

More fighting from the shipping yard.

Our winner was Patrick with our very own Forgotten and Ontos taking up the 2nd and 3rd place.

Thanks for everyone coming out to the first event run by us, a group of Canadian Tabletop Gamers.

- Cheers
