Now that's taking the game waaaay too seriously!I seem to recall one ASLOK were two Scandinavian folks damn near came to physical blows "discussing" the IFT/IIFT issue.......
That was my thought on the topic......Now that's taking the game waaaay too seriously!
In Copenhagen, 1998-2002 the house rule IIFT would be used if one of the players demanded it. 2003-2012 the house rule IIFT-CTC was introduced. The house rule was abolished 2013-2018, never to return...I seem to recall a tourney (Europe?) where the IIFT is the default for all play. Do I remember that right, or is it an urban legend?
Thanks for clearing that up.In Copenhagen, 1998-2002 the house rule IIFT would be used if one of the players demanded it. 2003-2012 the house rule IIFT-CTC was introduced. The house rule was abolished 2013-2018, never to return...
IIFT is not the default Fire table any more. We changed that in 2013 hoping to attract new players from those regions where IIFT-users are considered Evil . The IFT is default but the optional IIFT is used in quite a lot of games if players agree.Scandinavian Open is the only tournament where I am aware that IIFT was default for many years, not sure if that is still the case now.
I am not entirely sure about ASL Ring in Lille......
Fake News !You have capitulated to the Swedish demands, acknowledging by the same token your status of vassals to your northern Scandinavian masters. So sad
That is a wise decision. There is no reason at all to make IIFT the standard table of any tournament. If two players prefer it, let them have it their way.Fake News !
We were, honestly, trying to make our tournament more appealling to mainly american players. Hoping to see some of them cross the pond to our little event. We will always listen to feedback and suggestions and seek inspiration from other tournaments, but in the end we try to do what we consider best for our tournament.
Then it has been a failure as only one player (two in good years) is coming on average. There are more profound reasons explaining non-participation (time, money or culture from highest to lowest).We were, honestly, trying to make our tournament more appealling to mainly american players.
That is true. Might be fair to say that we just didnt want the IIFT to be a deterrent.Then it has been a failure as only one player (two in good years) is coming on average. There are more profound reasons explaining non-participation (time, money or culture from highest to lowest).
The IIFT is just like A.16 Battlefield Integrity.That is true. Might be fair to say that we just didnt want the IIFT to be a deterrent.
Just for the record:The IIFT is just like A.16 Battlefield Integrity.
I have never seen that optional rule declared a tournament standard. But if two players pre-agree to record their infantry losses and roll for ELR reduction during their tournament game to have a more enjoyable experience, why would anyone object. Recording stuff is fun!
Regarding tournament eligibility, i would say the special rules of DTF are a much larger encroachment on standard rules than the IIFT. Make no mistake, I do like them :nod:The IIFT is just like A.16 Battlefield Integrity.
