***June Monthly Challenge - Just The Tip***

Ladies and Gentlemen, we only want the tip! (Limited Insertion)
This month we challenge you to build a limited insertion list and write in to us about your experience.
That’s right, we want you to build single order group lists and throw them on the table. We want to hear what profiles you’ve found yourself opting into? Have you finally reached for that TAG, or rather second TAG? 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 [e-mail]

Random winner will be chosen at the end of the month to win a blister of their choice from TSI

***Q2 Hobby Challenge - Mission Received*** LAST EPISODE BEFORE COMPLETION

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 [e-mail]

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!

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 [e-mail], or message ‘azrebb’ on discord.

Did I mention it was in a Brewery?
