As mentioned in the previous post, Frontline Gaming, the organizers behind the ITC, have reviewed a ton of feedback from the LVO regarding possible changes to the format. The plan is to widen their poll to previous ITC players to help shape the circuit for the better.
As we are cutting it close the our event on May 16th, I did not want to catch players by surprise with a rule change that could force them alter their army at the last minute
So we are making an executive decision based on feedback from our judges reviewing the LVO poll results and the discussion on the Signals from the Frontline podcast.
The following Lords of War are now removed from the approved list
Eldar Lynx
Necron Pylon
Additionally, the Aquila Stronghold fortification (both variations) will not be permitted at the event
Army construction will remain restricted to a maximum of 2 detachments
Come the Apocalypse allies remain an option to all players
The ITC was looking at altering their missions. Since we went with our missions (previously posted) this would not effect the event.
Hope this clarifies what to expect on May 16th and look forward to seeing all of you there!

Possible Changes Coming to the ITC
Hello Everyone!
I wanted to make all of you aware of some possible changes coming to the ITC format.
As you know, Scorched Earth Open is an ITC event.
In case you did not know, ITC stands for Independant Tournament Circuit
It is a series of tournaments througout the country where players who compete in these events are tracked and ranked like a season.
The final event of the circuit is the Las Vegas Open.
Scorched Earth is one of the first 3 or 4 that are state side, so we expect several players to come in and get some early points
For more information, go to Frontline Gaming.org
Why should you care?
On their podcast (episode 390) Frontline Gaming annouced that after receiving player feedback at the LVO they will be creating a poll for some propsed changes to the ITC.
They anticpated this poll to come out second week of March
Most of the changes that are proposed revolve around list building.
I do not have a complete list as of yet
but they did mention perhaps expanding to 3 detachments for example.
I highly encourage you to vote when this poll comes out.
I also highly encourage you to let us at Scorched Earth know how you feel about the poll & the results once tablulated.
As you have seen in earlier post, we have already strayed from the standard format for missions.
Regardless of the poll results, the missions will not change so please continue to practice the missions as they stand now.
However, we too have heard concerns/comments about list composition rules. Plus most of our game group went to LVO so we have had lots of practice games in the format & know where you guys are coming from in your opinions.
We have demonstrated our ability to adapt and welcome your feedback
