Thanks! This is a great reference...

Hi Flash I am also a new player and I had the same questions as you did. Just like Lalochezia stated, pick the crew you like and just start to learn them as you learn the game. You will get a keen understanding as to how your crew will work as well as how they will work against other crews. I started with Raputina, mostly because of her story and the background of the Arcanists as a whole, but also because of her play style. She can sit back and pretty much wait for the enemy to get to her over a few turns while gathering up Mask Cards for my hand and her main spell. I did not know how to play the game at first nor did I know how she worked, but over time I learned to use all of her spells and select a minimal crew to support her play style. Then I figured I can use other models to gain more Melee or Ranged combat depending on the encounter and schemes. All the while asking questions. What is that, how does it work, can I do blank? It will take time but read up on the rules and ask questions! This forum and the links Lalochezia posted (thanks Lalochezia) are great for reference.

This post/thread is great! I have not played Colette mostly because I thought her play style was very complicated and I could not figure her out. This Tactica has helped me understand what she can do. However I am having problems deciding what to do in different situations. I guess that will get easier with practice, though I wonder if there is a certian set of actions to use during every turn that a novice such as myself could learn.

Aha! Thank you, exactly what I was looking for. That clears it up...

I have been looking around for the exact ruling on how to attack my Ice Pillars. Some one told me that the attacking model needs to beat a ten on the attack duel and then flip for damage to get three or higher. Is this correct? Do I get to flip during the duel for defense? It seems the rules for this would be the same as the sequence for the Supply Wagon scenario...

Thanks for the clarification. Though is there any indication of this in the rule book?

When Lucious is casting Receive Orders onto the Austringers to make a Walk or Strike action, can the Austringers make the 2AP 18" Stirke as it is named a Strike on thier card? Or does the Receive Orders only allow a 1AP action to take place?
