***July Monthly Challenge - The Sky is Falling
This month we want you to make your opponent scared of the very sky their toy soldiers fight under and focus on bringing Troops that are the epitome in attack vector exploitation, Drop Troops.
That's right, this month we challenge you to build lists focused on troops with the combat jump skill. A skill that is both loved and maligned in equal measure we want to hear about how you reminded your opponent to keep their head on a swivel.
Let us know the way in which a unit was able to punch through a small hole in your opponent’s defences or how you spent 50+ points on drop units, only to have them land in your DZ. How has this changed your approach to the list building in your faction? Tell us everything!
As always, send in your reports and analysis to us at lossoflieutenant@gmail.com
Random winner will be chosen at the end of the month to win a blister of their choice from TSI
***Q3 Hobby Challenge - Narrative Story***
Continuing LoL’s drive to get people into the creative side of Infinity, for quarter three we are asking our listeners to write us a short narrative story.
The infinity universe has a rich and diverse background, with so many source books to choose from, and with Endsong round the corner, it’s a perfect time to create some new stories from the Human Sphere!
Is there a unit or character in your army who has performed so heroically over the course of multiple games they deserve to have a story written about them?
Or is there a piece of background you’ve read or heard about that's just crying out to be expanded?
Well now’s your chance to express yourself through the written word.
Please try to stick to a limit of no more than 2000 words, as these are supposed to be short stories.
Alternatively, a 10 minute audio recording would also be welcome.
Send your submission to lossoflieutenant@gmail.com
At the end of the quarter we will pick our favorites and give them the White Noise treatment of reading them out on the show!
A random entry will win a small box set of their choice from Toy Soldier Imports!
Good luck!

Upcoming events:
Sydney Community building initiative
"Some of the Sydney guys are setting up a regular community event, and they're asking asking for INPUT and FEEDBACK - the best way to get a new gaming day off the ground is to hear everyone's feedback as to what they want!
To that end, there are polls up on the Infinity Australia Facebook group - Anyone who is keen on playing Infinity in Sydney is encouraged to vote on the venue, frequency and time, as well as provide any other input they'd like to share. The polls and discussion will run until the 3rd of July (after Brewfinity) with the first event running in August or September.
If you want to play more games of Infinity this is a great opportunity to make this event your own"
Beerfinity
Have you ever wanted to play infinity in a brewery? Well, now you can!
Join us for a one day tournament at Willie the Boatman Brewery in St Peters, in Sydney’s inner west, on Sunday July 2nd
It will be an ITS event, with 3 games consisting of the BCB missions. The first will be Cryogenics, the second will be Capture & Protect OR Frontline, and the third mission will be Supplies OR Decapitation.
Entry is only $10, with a generous prize pool, and every entrant receives a Brewfinity container to add to their terrain collection. We have room for 14 players, and the precinct the brewery is in has plenty of parking, and is also close to public transport (Sydenham station).
For more information, search OTM for Brewfinity, check the LoL discord, or contact Tero directly via azrebb@gmail.com, or message ‘azrebb’ on discord.
Did I mention it was in a Brewery?

For the month of April we want our listeners to jump in their time machines, back to the (debatable) good old days of ITS seasons past and play an older mission.
Pick from any of the official missions of the past, be they from ITS seasons or past global campaigns.
For all you newer players, experience the highs and lows of TIC-TAC-TOE and for older players introduce newer players to the joys of the XenoTech.
We’d love to read your battle reports and what your thoughts are on the missions of old. Just make sure you tell us the mission you played!

***APRIL CHALLENGE ANNOUNCEMENT - THE GOOD OLD DAYS***
For the month of April we want our listeners to jump in their time machines, back to the (debatable) good old days of ITS seasons past and play an older mission.
Pick from any of the official missions of the past, be they from ITS seasons or past global campaigns.
For all you newer players, experience the highs and lows of TIC-TAC-TOE and for older players introduce newer players to the joys of the XenoTech.
We’d love to read your battle reports and what your thoughts are on the missions of old. Just make sure you tell us the mission you played!
As always, send in your reports and analysis to us at
lossoflieutenant@gmail.com
A random winner will be chosen at the end of the month to win a blister of their choice from Toy Soldier Imports!
***Q2 Hobby Challenge - Mission Received***
Are you also bored of the current mission line up? Want to flex those creative muscles and design a new mission to torture the LoL crew? Well this is your chance, as for the second quarter of 2023, we want you to design us some new missions!
Send us your ideas for new missions, ensuring we know where to put everything, how to deploy, what the objectives are and any other special rules.
Please stick to the format of presenting missions in the typical ITS format, as it will help us and the community understand how to play your missions.
Extra points if you can tell us how any play testing went!
Send your submission to lossoflieutenant@gmail.com
At the end of the quarter, we will select our favourites give them an IRL test play!
A random entry will win a small box set of their choice from Toy Soldier Imports!
Good luck!

MARCH CHALLENGE - You Only Need Ten Models
Here in Melbourne, we recently wrapped up our Slow Grow League. It was a huge success, with many new players getting their teeth into N4 in a friendly, supportive environment, and was also a great excuse for veterans to coach new players and try out new armies.
So, for the month of March, we want YOU to introduce new players and run your own introductory game of Infinity!
This can be at your regular games night, a day or evening at your house, or even a full on slow grow/escalation style event!
Whatever it is, we want it to be aimed squarely at new players, with the aim by the end of the month, you will have acquired new knowledge on what worked (and what didn't work) for introducing new players to the game.
As always, send us in your experiences of running intro/demo games of N4 or Code One to us as a Google Doc to:
lossoflieutenant@gmail.com
A random winner will be selected at the end of the month to win a blister of their choice from the legends over at Toy Soldier Imports!
Q1 2023 Hobby Challenge Newly Classified
Are you a little bored of the current classifieds deck? Tired of pulling Nano Espionage and just opting for Secure HVT instead? Well, this is your chance to put your creative hat on, as for the first quarter of 2023, we want you to design us some new classifieds!
Send us your ideas for new Classified cards, how they will work and your reasons for choosing them to us at lossoflieutenant@gmail.com
you can send in one, or a whole deck if you like, additional brownie points awarded to those who design the cards and artwork themselves.
At the end of the quarter, we will select our favourites to build a new classified deck for people to try out and play in their games!
A random entry will win a small box set of their choice from Toy Soldier Imports!
Good luck!
