And here's our custom mission, Extraction, that will be played at our Satellite! Read the description here.
One question regarding time table: It says "results 16:00-16:30". I would have to be at the airport at 16:45. A taxi there takes 20 minutes. So I would have to exit the hotel/tournament venue at lattest at 16:15. Would that cause any problems?
At what time your plane leaves? Are you planning to check-in the luggage? Yes, as you said, taxi will take approximately 20min from the venue till the airport. Initially this time slot 16:00 - 16:30 was there to leave some room to wiggle and give maybe few extra minutes to finish the last game, but if there's a necessity to leave early, I'm actually more inclined to start earlier on Sunday, rather than at 10:00, maybe 09:30
Thank you for the timetable change! Looking forward to the tournament and visiting the beautiful Balticum for the first time :)
we've already got players from 11 countries! And we've got some spots left, so hurry up! Can it get any more international? Interplanetario (@HellLois, @Koni ), you've got some big shoes to fill in!
Lesh, we would need clarification as how Beacons are treated in Capture and Protect. After being picked up, is it treated like e.g. a Tinbot marker that just signifies who carries it OR is it like CasEvac where you leave a Model on the table that always has to be in contact with the carrier and due to its physical placement on the table can be touched an contested by enemy Troopers? Thanks in advance!
Hello, Yes, it's treated as token once picked up. as from common rules of beacons, in order to pick up the beacon, The Trooper must be in one of the following situations: - The Trooper is in Silhouette contact with a friendly Trooper in a Normal State that has an Enemy Beacon (so you need to be in btb with unit carrying itif you want to take it from it) - The Trooper is in Silhouette contact with an Enemy Beacon with no enemy Troops also in contact with it (must be in btb with the token if it was dropped by now unconscious model)
I have one question regarding placement of objective markers like Beacons and Tech-Coffins: Will they always be placed on ground level? Or only if the terrain permits?
Hello! No, not always they will be placed on ground level, only if terrain permits or only slight terrain adjustments required.
Thanks! And another question: How are objective markers treated regarding LoF, blocking of movement and cover? In our meta we treat them as impassable, S3 sized pieces of terrain (which provide cover like other terrain)
objectives will be represented as pieces of terrain or markers. In all cases they block LoF as much as they can, provide cover, and passable based on silhouette height. Please do note that in case objectives are represented as markers, both players still can agree how to treat them.
On a general note, is there a standard silhoutte size for the various scenario elements (terminals, techcoffins, antennas etc etc)? The ITS pack lists base diameter, but not (as far as I can see) recommended height.
I think the height is usually around s3 size, but there are no height restrictions, only diameter is mentioned: "...Each Communication Antenna must be represented by a Transmission Antenna Token (TRANS. ANTENNA) or with a scenery piece of the same diameter (such as the Communications Array by Warsenal or the Sat Station Antenna by Customeeple)."
