Well we played again today, and I used this trick and it... helped. Pandora did great. The rest of my crew is still getting slaughtered though, and I can't think of anything to do about it. This time I used: Pandora, 2xSorrows, Candy, Iggy, Insidious Madness, and Teddy He used: MacMourning, Mortimer, 3xCrooked Men, 2xZombie Dogs, and of course Von Schill again We tried one of the Halloween scenarios from 2010, the one with 'the Carver'. Insidious Madness found the Carver... great! Oh dear, the Carver is killing it, not so great. MacMourning comes into the building and *by himself* proceeds to carve the Carver. Von Schill jumps in from a thousand miles away and shoots poor Iggy down in one activation. The Crooked Men kill both of Pandora's Sorrows and leave her wounded with blasts. Teddy charges Von Schill, who laughs at the beast and jumps away, then shoots and wounds him for good measure. A dog bites and kills the Insidious Madness. I'm left with Candy and Pandora and, oh look, the Carver is immune to Wp duels AND he doesn't care about the box, oh well. I figure I can still win if I can save the Carver (as I have one point for finding him?) So when I got to activate it I used his magic spell to teleport him away to another building. No problem! says MacMourning. He uses his scalpel on his own dog to get an extra move and reaches the Carver to finish him off. I get that my Pandora crew is 'very friendly', which is a nice way of saying 'a bit lame', but quite frankly if one has to throw the fluff out the window and trade in Candy for a Doppelganger or whatever or get used to being slaughtered, well I dunno...

Now now, he's a nice bloke. Hate is a bit strong! : )

I never would have thought of that! Thanks a gazillion! : )

The strategy was 'Shared Turf War'. His scheme was... the one where you need to have more models in your opponent's zone than she does, which dovetailed nicely. Von Schill won those points for him handily. He also chose to kill Candy, which he did not manage or even really try. Again, it was a draw on VPs, so you might think it was okay, but that's not really the point. The point is that I *did* throw everything possible at Von Schill and it did nothing. All I managed to do was kill my own Stitched Together with 'Gamble your Life'. VPs aside, it's just not fun when your crew doesn't do anything except 'walk toward the objective while Invulnerable Man takes shots at you'. It's kind of discouraging that Pandora and the creepy kids are not a 'proper' crew. Aren't they supposed to be her thing?

Hello. I played a game this weekend that to be honest, wasn't much fun. The crews were: Mine: Pandora, Candy, Baby Kade, Iggy, Insidious Madness, Stitched Together, and one Sorrow. His: Sonnia, Sammael, Von Schill, and two witchling stalkers. The game was a draw, so there's that, but it felt like playing one of those bank robbers who throw their guns at the Justice League in frustration. Von Schill alone just laughed off my entire crew while Sonnia and the rest stayed in the corner doing nothing. When I finally got close enough to them Sonnia simply denied Pandora everything and then started throwing fireballs at her own crew, cheating low in their defense result in order to create blasts in which to catch Baby Kade and Candy. How on earth do you fight that?

Well it was only my 6th game ever, and I'm still just figuring things out, so the mindset is pretty much 'what do I do next?' 'how do I do that?' and 'you gotta be kidding, that can't be right!' : ) How should I 'ungeneralise' my list? I have 'Dora, Candy, Kade, 3 Sorrows, Insy Madness, and Teddy. Thanks!

Can anyone suggest a good way for my Pandora to fight Sonnia? I've just had a very discouraging game. As strategy I had 'slaughter', and instead half my gang was slaughtered in just one activation of Sonnia's insane firebomb-dropping antics.

Is this correct? Sonnia casts Flame Burst at a Sorrow and gets severe damage. She puts down Blast Marker A so that it's edge touches the base of the Sorrow. Then she puts down Blast Marker B 2" from Blast Marker A, reaching Candy who was 4" away. Then she puts down Blast Marker C 2" away from Blast Marker B, reaching Pandora who was 4" away from Candy and a second Sorrow that was linked to Pandora. Both Sorrows die, Candy and Pandora take 5 wounds each. Now Sonnia casts it again at Candy and gets Moderate Damage. Blast Marker A on Candy, Blast Marker B on 'dora. Each takes 3 wounds and dies.

You want the Doppelganger to mimic Pandora's Unhealthy Relationship, allowing the Sorrows to use Mimic, which they then use to mimic Pandora's Emotional Trauma? I'm pretty sure that you *can*, and it stacks with the Sorrows' Emotional Stress. The Doppelganger won't have Martyr though, so the Sorrows that are linked to her will cause her one wound every time they activate.

Okay, so Pandora casts a Project Emotions that touches three models (the target and two others), and she draws a Crow doing so. All three of them lose the Wp duel to resist the spell. a) Do all three of them suffer a wound due to Emotional Trauma? Do all three of them fall back due to the Mental Anguish trigger? c) Does Pandora push 4" due to Fading Memory for each of them (up to 12")? Thanks!

Hi. Simply put, can you attack a Sorrow that is linked to another model (say, Pandora) with ranged or melee attacks? I can't find anything in the description of 'Linked' that says that you could not. Thanks!
