A few friends and I have recently manifested our interest in Malifaux by buying and assembling some of the crew box sets. Now we're ready to play. I set up a 40SS game by myself last night (The Battle for Painter's Tape River on Kitchen Mesa) and did a dry run through a couple of turns based on my understanding of the rules (which I've read three times), information I picked up poking around the internet, and watching people play at Game Kastle in Santa Clara. I'm sure I am doing at least a dozen things incorrectly, but I feel that I have a sufficient grasp on the core mechanics to start teaching my friends. My question is this: where should I start? I don't want to reinvent the wheel, so I'm asking you, the community, where you start when demoing and teaching. My instinct is to go through a couple of duels (opposed, simple, &c.), as this is what will be happening most, then build with turn structure, movement, cover, and soulstones. If there is somewhere else that I should be focusing initially, please let me know. Also, if there are any resources that cover this topic, I'd be super thrilled to know where those are. Thanks in advance!

Hello. A friend and I recently discovered Malifaux, and are trying to get started. I already have a painted M2E Sonnia Criid crew, and I am working on a 1.5 Von Schill crew. The above mentioned comrade has a Viktorias starter. We both have rules manuals and fate decks and, most importantly, an eagerness to play! There are no game stores in Monterey at the moment, though Mythic Games in Santa Cruz will be opening a location here within about a month. I've touched base with a couple the Malifaux souls at Game Kastle in Santa Clara, but that's a 90 minute drive from where I am, and we'd like to play more frequently than practicality would dictate were we to only play up there. So basically, I'm looking for somebody who would be willing to show us the ropes, and would possibly want to get together semi-frequently to play. Anyhow, I hope you all are having fun. I intend to.

This is my first miniatures game. I'm beyond excited. Starting with a friend in Monterey, CA.
