Good point, and that brings me to another question. I find that most games I end up deploying first which seems to put me at a disadvantage because I always feel like I could have done a better job after seeing my opponent's deployment. Do you have any tips for this? Maybe I just have a hard time predicting how my opponent is going to deploy because I am ignorant to how most other armies work. Also, I'm seeing The Hanged mentioned a lot in this thread. On a scale of 1 to 10, how important is that model for me to pick up? If I can only make 1 more purchase for Malifaux for the next month what would be the most important? I currently have: Seamus, 3 Belles, Madame Sybelle, Copycat Killer, Grave Spirit, Bete Noire, and Convict Gunslinger.

Thanks you guys for all the food for thought. I'll try to use some of these strategies next time I'm playing. After reading about positioning with Seamus I'm realizing maybe I shouldn't be spreading as much as I have been. I'll try to keep Seamus and my Belles ~5 inches apart at all times and just roll as a unit and see how that works for me.

Me and some of my buddies went and picked up Malifaux together about 3 weeks ago. I picked up the Redchapel Gang box set, a Convict Gunslinger, Copycat Killer, and Bete Noire. I read the tactica and I'm not sure if it's dated or if I'm just not getting it but I've lost against the Ortegas, Kirai, and Zoraida so far. It seems like at the end of turn 5 I am usually 90-100% wiped off the board. I don't want to be a whiner I'm just curious if anyone could give me some helpful advice on how not to get wiped out. I kept separating Seamus from my Belles and I was sure that was my issue but last game I tried to keep everyone together vs Kirai and found that I was stuck in melee for a majority of the game, preventing me from doing my strategy (Shared Claim Jump). Does anyone competitive use Seamus?
