Block 1: 150pts - January 13 - February 2

Welcome to the Escalation League! In the first block, small games are meant to get some familiarity with basic missions and are meant to be played quickly. Play 1-3 games in 3 weeks, on a smaller table, with smaller forces. Units with visibility-impairing equipment or skills, like smoke, are allowed, but usage of these is not allowed.

Future blocks will be less restrictive. Unless you are dead set on playing a sectorial, try playing your vanilla faction instead, to try a broader availability of units. No links are allowed to help remove the advantage of limiting yourself to a sectorial.

In addition, no ITS extras or Intelcom will be used, so ignore all of this (QAZ, or Defensive Turrets).

MISSION & SETUP

Mission Selection:
• Annihilation
• Firefight

Army List Requirements

Continuing into block 2, we’ll keep a few restrictions to help games continue to run quickly. Missions shift from straight-up killing to territorial possession.

The same restrictions on TAGs, Link teams, Smoke are in effect, but Impersonators are allowed. Make sure your forces are positioned to reinforce each other from sneak attacks if you’re facing a faction that fields Impersonators!

In addition, no ITS extras or Intelcom will be used, so continue to ignore all of this.

Block 3: 250pts - February 24 - March 23

Block 3 missions relax all prior restrictions, introducing the ITS Extras rules. These missions were also chosen due to having a common map setup, with 3 objectives in the center. Will you keep deployment to protect the objectives with strong ARO pieces, or look to bum-rush the objectives, denying your opponent the first-mover advantage?

Link teams, TAGs, smoke, etc. are fully playable. This is a 4-week block, allowing more time to get in the games and paint your army

General League Guidelines

Participation

In order to take part in an official ITS event, players are required to bring everything they need to play, including:

• Miniatures.
• Tape measure.
• Templates and markers.
• Dice.
• Classified Deck.
• Army lists.

Sportsmanship

All participants in an event, whether Organizers, Players, or guests, are expected to conduct themselves in a friendly and considerate manner at all times. If a participant disrupts the good atmosphere of an event, the Organizer may penalize them or altogether remove them from play.

Minimum player etiquette includes giving the opponent time to clearly see the results on your dice before picking them up, sharing with the opponent all open information from your army list and clarifying it as often as requested, waiting for the opponent to declare ARO whenever you spend an Order, etc.

REMEMBER - Infinity is first and foremost a game and events should be fun for everyone involved.
