ABQ tournies results with merits, feedback welcome.

Before we all gather at GenCon, we needed to "test run" a tournament.

Trial the scoring format, results tracker, and other trial out the annihilation scenario as a stand alone tourney format.

Oh and the Infinity scene in Albuquerque, NM is now at a healthy level.

We had 9 players present. 10 at the last tournament, and a few others lurking around but not ready to jump into tournaments.

Scoring format for this one was simple; the ratio of Objective points scored / scored against you.

This ratio determined next round pairings.

Merits:

Marksmen: goes to he who kills the most LTs. Doesn't matter if it's Chain of Command, Mnemonica, or a newly elected LT. You kill Lts, you kill Lts.

Black Ops: goes to he who achieves the most Classified Objectives. I believe this is the separator for overall tourney victor.

Son of a Trash Can: goes to last place.

Back up the meat wagon: goes to the player who looses the most army points (kill points). You've got no regard for the safety of your troops.

Animal Mother: goes to the player who kills the most army points. You must have shot a lot of bullets.

Die Hard: goes to the player who lost the least amount of Army points. Yippy-kay-yay mother f***er!

From me you will not: goes to the player who gave up the least amount of Objective points.

Kill Ratio: as in the game, I don't care how you managed it, the M1A1 Abrams has destroyed more hardware to hardware lost. Panzerkunst will attest to this. He's an artist behind the wheel of those bad boys.

Merits not tracked but will be potentially be tracked at GenCon tournies:

Crit King: most crits delivered

Training Mission: anytime you win a game max VP to zero VP

Baby Seal: anytime you loose a game zero VP to max VP.

Vaudeville: You've a fully painted army and it isn't dipped

Additional suggestions are welcome.

When you say kills, do you include 'Unconscious at the end of the game' or only models taken to Dead status?

[Magno]

Unconscious or dead.

Kill Points is simpler than Incapacitated Points, Unconscious Points, non-standing points, or non-order generating points.

[IJW Wartrader]

Just checking.

Some of the YAMS cards specify 'kill' which can make them a bit too tough.

While the starter pack tourney mission has you getting points for everything that's not active at the end of the game, including currently-immobilised models. Electric Pulse, he he he.

[Magno]

Yeah, we noticed that with your YAMs.
We liked it.
Especially me being a Shasvasti player.
