Fading Memory

Sorry to hear that, but I understand the weather issue.

I did not get a chance to make terrain as there was a spontaneous visit from out of town family that took up most of my free time for building.

I look forward to seeing you Sunday.

I am going to attempt to create some winter terrain and as long as it comes out decent I will give it away.  If it looks like crap, I don't want my name associated with it. LOL

There will be no painting requirement.

EDIT!!!!! There will be no painting requirement.

The date of the tournament is the 23rd of February not the 9th like I originally had posted.

2 more days to go

I wont be using the new gaining ground as I am not familiar with it yet. This was a rough, heavy workload semester, so I haven't had time to go over it.

We will be using the general shared strategies. I will randomly decide them the day of. The next tournament I will pre-plan everything.

Thank you, however, for pointing that out as newer players who might read this thread will find it helpful as the distinction between 'Attacks' and 'attacks' can be confusing.

And in actuality Zombie fodder uses the small a for "attack" and so he can therefore cancel just about anything that requires him to make an opposed duel, as defined on page 18 of the rules manual.

Yes, this was not directed towards you, but a friendly reference for everyone. The interactions between Pandora and Nicodem highlight some of nuances new and old players could use reminding of now and then.

I agree with everyone else he takes the wound from Emotional Trauma. But keep in mind if he takes a wound and Pandora triggers Mental Anguish, Nico would fall back as Metal Anguish says "After defender loses a Wp Resist Duel it immediately falls back and it counts as losing a Morale Duel." He's lost the duel, just canceled the hit.

Ummm actually many duels are attacks. The Rules Manual details what are considered attacks and it is a large amount of duels.

And just for your own knowledge:

Do to some of the changes in models and rules the type of attack referenced on the card impacts the way some Talents work.

That game was funny. I was the one who didn't hit either of the wagons, both of which died.

I knew you would comment, Carse.

I watched a player in Shared Supply Wagon whack his opponent's wagon once and then whack his own cart to death. Thus denying his opponent VP for the strategy. I never saw an opponent laugh so hard and talk about how epicly awesome it was.

The player base is growing steadily. And plenty of terraclips to play with.

I believe it's A. Kill Protege is sometimes a very bad option to take as your opponent will eliminate the model before you even get the chance.

It's not that the target escapes, it's that "Defend Me!" says that the Beast becomes the target of the attack, and Single Minded says that the attack therefore cannot happen, and the whole attack fizzles according to the rule. The fizzle rule says nothing about "requirements", I have no idea where you're getting that from.

It may (and I suspect it should) be one of those non-fizzle situations where the AP used to attack is simply lost.

This is similar to something like Lilith's Whirling Death while trying to target the Dreamer surrounded by Nightmares. If she fails to kill all the Nightmares before she attempts to strike the Dreamer, she can't target the Dreamer. Whirling Death only allows you to target a model once. She targets the Dreamer, Shadowy Form says you must target a Nightmare. That Nightmare has already been targeted by Whirling Death; so therefore, the strike against the Dreamer and his replacement target fail.

The Marcus/Shikome example is right along the same lines.

You cannot end paralyzed on a model a model that doesn't have it.

Spell fizzles.

Kadeton and I appear to not be convinced by the fizzle rule in situations like this, another one I can think of is Trapped in Your Own Nightmare. The last ruling involving the fizzle rule was Mei Fang and the Terminus trigger which I know you were part of the postings, Ausplosions. In that situation, Railwalk does not require a target, just a friendly model meeting the conditions. On Your Feet and Trapped in Your Own Nightmare require a target. Which is slightly different and in Malifaux slightly different can mean completely different.

So can a model cast a spell, remove and effect it doesn't have and gain the other effects from the spell? Either way is fine, I'm asking to know, so when I see this situation come up I know the answer.

EDIT........

I hope that did not come off as offensive. I wasn't brushing off what you had to say. I'm just not completely convinced.

An example is the best way to ask my question.

Can I cast On Your Feet on a model that is not Paralyzed?

End Paralyzed on target model. Target model is immune to Paralyzed until the End Closing Phase

You cannot Summon another model while controlling an enemy model. But The Dismount action says Replace and Replace is a placement effect. So I say you can Dismount McCabe if you Alpha him.

This happened a while back and am just now getting around to figuring out how it is to/you all play it.

Papa Loco dies doing his huge pulse hitting a lot. One of the guild models dies activating Slow to Die. My opponent and I still had models that needed to make resist flips. In this kind of multi-model resist flip, when does slow to die happen? We played it that it happens after all models make their resist flips first as i took it as one big "Determine Success" stage of an attack . Was this played right?
