Q3 Loss of Lieutenant Custom Mission Challenge 2024

Our first custom mission challenge in 2023 was quite the success, with some of our listeners’ missions becoming official ITS missions. Because of this success, we present the Loss of Lieutenant custom mission challenge 2024.

This year, listeners may submit up to two custom missions each. If you submitted a mission to the previous custom mission challenge and have an updated version, feel free to submit the update as well. Please let us know if your custom mission is intended to be a competitive mission or a narrative mission.

Once the challenge ends, we’ll format, edit, and compile them all into a single document for distribution to the wider Infinity community.

We’ll pick our favourites and run a custom mission tournament here in Melbourne sometime next year.

And what would custom missions be without some play testing? For the second part of this quarter’s challenge, we want to hear about one of your experiences playing a custom mission. What interesting mechanics did you like? What interesting mechanics did you break? Let us know.

Please submit your entries to [email protected].

One random winner will be selected from each quarterly challenge.

Q2 Challenge Winner's announcement - You + Me = Carnage

Sorry About the late announcement on this one, Josh left himself too open on what he would give extra points for and he's had the elves hard at work crunching numbers.

I loved reading all our entrants reports on their fireteam duos. From Cameron's BorderBash fun with the fearsome Squalo + Blade Ops duo, to Sam's beautiful Hai Dao and Orc pair, everyone brought their A game.

Their has to be a winner, however, and that winner is Obyiscus. Oby has a fantastic battle report with an ISS win over Nomads using a scary and stunning Su-Jian pair. Well done and incredible work!

Our runner up is Theo! Theo has been playing Bakunin with either a Stigmaton + Orphan engineer or a Stigmaton + Marspider Paramedic duo. Send us in some photos of your painted ones Theo!

Anyone can view the entries here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1anJoKcMdm83-XmsLAyJ5jqlVc7Ntr01cFVrW6tGZ3nM/edit

Q2 Challenge announcement - You + Me = Carnage

With our transition to longer form challenges, we are finding that people are more likely to engage with both parts of the challenge or not at all. So, we here at Loss of Lieutenant have decided to merge the hobby and gaming challenges! We will still be rewarding two entrants with prizes, picked with a rigorous selection method (welcome to our special guest judge - a random number generator!).

You'll get more entries depending on how you adhere to the challenge and the amount of blood sweat and tears you put in (note - please don't work that hard, it's supposed to be fun). It's time to our annual exploration of an underrated and underutilised part of the Infinity ruleset - the Fireteam Duo! Have you got a duo that you love? Do a couple of your silver surfers stare longly at each from across the pile of shame? Have you never experience the power of a Su Jian duo'd with anything in Yu Jing? Now's your chance.

This quarter, we want you to paint and play a fireteam duo! Extra points will be given to those who tie their duo team in together somehow with a unique secondary colour or decal etc.

Send your photos and gameplay reports in as a google doc to [email protected]

A lucky random winner and random runner up will chosen to receive a small box and blister respectively from the Infinity range, from a retailer to be determined.

Q1 Gaming Challenge Announcement - Make them an offer they can’t refuse

With our transition to longer form Gaming challenges, we’d love to set a real challenge for our listeners. Like crime in Hollywood's version of New York, we want you to get organised! We at Loss of Lieutenant want you to plan and run an event for your local players and tell us about your experience. If you tell us about the event and give it a real fun name, I’ll even put it on our socials for people all across the world to see and maybe come along if they are in the area.

This isn’t necessarily an ITS event. Just a group of people playing three games in your garage will fulfil the requirements of the challenge. Custom missions, resilience ops, reinforcements, free play are some of the many ways we all enjoy Infinity, so break them out too!

Submit your entry as a Google Doc to us at [email protected]

One random winner will be selected to win a small box set of their choice from a retailer to be determined.

Q1 Hobby Challenge - New Year New Me

The New Year means the next round of tournaments, which, if you’re anything like Josh, means a new army! This quarter is a free form challenge, show us something that you have started and finished this year. Is it a model you are excited to use this year, a display board to show off in front of your silver surfer friends, or even a building/table that you would like to dominate on? We want to see it!

Send your finished entry, along with any progress pictures as a Google Doc to us at [email protected]
