Elazar Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Really looking forward to this! Torn as to which crew to use though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythicFOX Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) Event’s six weeks on Saturday! A heads up to everyone. Given there seem to be a very limited number of rules manuals circulating in the UK, and that number of schemes have changed from Book 2, I am considering restricting schemes to only the ten visible in the PDF of the rules manual. The ones in the PDF are; Bodyguard Breakthrough Eye for an Eye Hold Out Stake a Claim Raid Army of the Dead Sabotage Kidnap Thwart I’m going to wait a couple of weeks before making the decision. Has anyone got any thoughts? Edited March 31, 2011 by mythicFOX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James. Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 So essentially we'd all get the 5 basic ones, then our faction specific one? I don't see a problem with it at all. It would force us to adapt to schemes that we maybe wouldn't have chosen, which would just add to the challenge! From a personal point of view, I'm more than happy to do this as I know a few people have had problems getting hold of the new book over here. I'll just be happy to get three games of Malifaux packed into one day, so no problems here at all! James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elazar Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Totally agree. There's a couple there I wouldn't normally pick but that will just make things more fun having to adapt my crew to those. Also means its much easier for everybody to know what they're up against if you don't regularly play a particular faction/master you're only having to learn one extra scheme for each instead of all the ones in the book. I'm happy enough with that ruling if you went with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_B Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 How about using Rattys printable schemes? Everyone has access to those and I'm sure they've been updated since the new book came out. We could print and laminate a set for each table. I don't mind the limited number either but thought I'd suggest this as an option. Andy.

mythicFOX Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Maybe. It's really about giving players the opportunity to practice and not get blindsided by a change at the end of a game. I can expect players to be familiar with the Rules Manual and the Tournament Pack. Adding more documents in may be a risk. Hummmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James. Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 For the entries, do you think we could have a list of the user names on here? Just most of us won't know eachother personally other than the few we're travelling with, so it might be a nice way to find out which people we've seen post / replied to in the past are going? James.

mythicFOX Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Sorry it's taken me some time to come back on this. I haven't kept a list. I haven't kept a list but I'll collect as many as I can on the day and post them with the results. <1month now! Can those who haven't paid please pay sooner rather than later.

ninjahamster Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 notice there's only 1/2 hour for lunch - is there anywhere nearby to grab some food, or should I bring butties? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MunkeyKungFu Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 bugger, I was hoping to go to this but its the same day as the Army V Navy game at twickenham I hope there will be lots of pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythicFOX Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 @ MunkeyKungFu: Sorry you're going to miss it, should be some photos up there. @ ninjahamster: I'm scouting that at the weekend. There are places but I need to check opening hours and distances etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James. Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I had a question about that. The painted comp will be at the dinner break is that right? If so, will there be time to nip out and grab something then come back to look at them all? (if indeed you find somewhere local for food!) Looking forward to this now, should be a really good day out. I'll take some pics too (with each opponents permission of course). Good stuff! James.

mythicFOX Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Again that's going to depend on my food scouting run at the weekend I'm aware the lunch break is tight at 30mins. I may put the paint judging back into (and slightly extend) the break after round two. The timetable is always going to be a little fluid once the day begins.

mythicFOX Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Ok so the event is three weeks tomorrow. IMPORTANT STUFF: Remember tickets must be paid for by the 30th of April, that's two weeks tomorrow. So you stragglers need to get your money in ASAP. On schemes. I've decided I'm not going to restrict schemes beyond what's already in the pack. Please be aware some of them are slightly different in the Rules Manual to those in Book 2.

Elazar Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 At the risk of sounding foolish, does this mean we're back to using all of the schemes in the Rules Manual then? Including Master specific ones etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythicFOX Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Yes all the ones in the rules manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mythicFOX Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 By popular request I did some food scouting yesterday, and very nice it was too. Very LARGE Bacon & Sausage Baguette for £2.90. On that basis I'd recommend people hit a cafe/sandwich shop called Rollette for Breakfast/Lunch, its a three minute drive further up Meanwood road from the venue. Lunch break's only half an hour so it may be worth getting orders in before round one begins and then picking it up / having it delivered in bulk. Tea, Coffee, Cans, Crisps and Sweets are sold on site at the venue for those (like me) who can't function without sugar and caffeine.

ninjahamster Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 sounds good - yeah, I agree getting a joint order in before first round is probably the best bet if we want everything to run smoothly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythicFOX Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) @ James. - The things I put myself through getting ready for the event. "Well I suppose I better get bacon AND sausage to check the quality." EDIT: Just a quick reminder to everyone that Lunch is NOT included in the ticket price. Sorry but the budget's quite tight with £5/ticket going into the prize pool. Edited April 18, 2011 by mythicFOX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Well I suppose I better get bacon AND sausage to check the quality." You're my hero! Sounds good though, got some painting left to do, but should be finished what I need in plenty of time. I'm being all nerdy and excited about this now, just two weeks on saturday! James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
