How to Analyze Infinity Event Scenario Packs: In-Depth Analysis of the CanCon 2026 Scenario Pack

Today, we're looking at how players can analyze scenario packs when preparing for an event, using CanCon 2026 as a case study. Primarily to keep the video flowing smoothly, I'll first present some general conclusions about the event, then break down all the scenarios and how they lead to those conclusions. Overall, though, we'll have the opportunity to think about a high-level event analysis, then delve into the details of Provisioning, Areas of Interest, Cross Lines, Corporate Takeover, and Hardlock, and discuss how each scenario plays out for the first and second players.

Welcome to Australian Satellite Preparation and Tournament Listbuilding – Infinity the Game N5! In this video, I break down everything you need to know to prepare for an upcoming Infinity N5 Satellite Tournament in Australia, with a strong focus on competitive tactics, mission analysis, and list building fundamentals.

We’ll walk through the official ITS missions, highlighting key objectives, scoring priorities, and how each scenario impacts deployment, order efficiency, specialists, and objective control. I also discuss the faction selection process, including how to choose the right army for a Satellite-level event, common strengths and weaknesses, and how to adapt to the Australian Infinity meta.

Whether you’re a new Infinity N5 player learning how to build your first competitive lists, or an experienced tournament player refining your approach for high-level play, this video covers practical Infinity N5 listbuilding strategies, unit roles, redundancy, mission coverage, and tech choices.

This video is ideal for players preparing for Infinity the Game tournaments, ITS events, or anyone looking to improve their Infinity N5 tactics and competitive decision-making. If you’re aiming to perform better at Satellites, understand missions more deeply, and build smarter lists, this breakdown is for you.

Robert Shepherd won Cancon26 with Ariadna. I guess this changes the idea that Ariadna are no longer a losing faction, as suggested previously by Ariadna players. The October 2025 update has made the faction competitive.

Since the October update, videos and articles seem to generally say that TAK and Kosmoflot were OP and that the others were okay but required expertise.

CanCon takes place every long weekend during Australia Day in Canberra, Australia, and while I've missed the last few Infinity events at CanCon (playing other systems or taking a year off), this year I came out of hibernation to try my luck at my first major N5 event. In this video, we will discuss the choice of factions and lists for the event, cover the five games played over two days, and experience the humiliating moment of realizing a rules mistake I made in a game during recording (the Kibervolk are very good, but they don't have Climbing Plus, no matter how long I thought in every practice game that they did).

For CanCon, I think this was the top three:

RobertShepherd with Vanilla Ariadna

NiceThings with Vanilla Yujing

Fumblymanhandswith Varuna

I also love how Yujing Invincible Army was at top table and got 6th (Frontovik Jimski).

Congratulations to everyone that played!
