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!

Where: Australian Defence Force Academy Gym.
Sign up to the Facebook Event on Infinity Australia. Check out the ADFWGA Webpage, sign ups and payment will (once posted) be via that page.
February Challenge - Mark It!
Learning how to apply and defend against marker states in Infinity is a complicated process, it fundamentally changes the ARO mechanic and can require hours of practice to become competent.
However, it is also one of the most important and powerful skills in the game, and one every player must learn.
So, for the month of February we want you to play around with using or facing the various types of marker states in Infinity.
For reference these are:
Camouflage (including mines and decoys)
Impersonation (including from cybermask)
Holoecho (from Holoprojector equipment)
These can be in the form of battle reports, in depth analysis, or tips and tricks you have picked up along your Infinity journey!
As always, send your reports into us as a Google Doc to:
A random winner will be selected at the end of February to win a blister of their choice from Toy Soldier Imports
Good luck

Hey folks!
Welcome to Spotlight! A new semi regular short form show from Loss of Lieutenant where one of the hosts chooses a single topic, this could be a rule, interaction, skill, or particular unit, and explains how it works and why they want to talk about it.
We figured this would be a good way of covering smaller topics, more near and dear to the hosts' hearts, that otherwise would not fit into a normal episode.
On our first episode, Val is going to talk about the viability of four man links, or FourCores!
