Maybe a silly question. 

In the rule book it says models can still activate but can't take actions in the burried section. But Béte unburies through an action (rise again). Should this action state that it can be taken while burried, or am I missing how she should play?

A single day, 3 game, 50SS fixed faction tournament held at Common Ground Games in Stirling on the 22nd of September 2018.

39 people so far - meal been announced, as last year, beer been confirmed. This is often quoted as one of the most "fun tournament experiences" - If you have friends that aren't already signed up - get them to! I promise we won't disappoint.

Something that wasn't there last year is a new Travellodge, just a couple of minutes walk from Common Ground Games. It might be handy for some of you.

It will be held at Common Ground Games in Stirling on 9th of June

HAPPY NATIONAL UNICORN DAY!!!!!

Today was the last day of the early bird offer for the Scottish GT (a sweet sgt unicorn supply model). It was timed for national unicorn day. 

However, it is also my son's birthday, and although I had planned for the player pack and event page to be up today - events got away from me.

So, with the hope to get it up tomorrow, I will extend the date to Friday.

There is already 31 signed up. 39 tickets left!

Sorry for such short notice for the rules of this....

Format
The day will consist of 2 Enforcer Brawls, 2 Hardcore Henchman Games and a 50SS Standard Game.

You will pick an enforcer to start. Then, build a hardcore henchman crew around it. Then build a 50SS crew around that. the enforcer must be in each game. The full hardcore henchman crew must be included in your 50SS list.

We will use GG18. However the scoring will be done on VP earned as the enforcer brawls will have multiple people in it. Tables will be allocated randomly on the first round, and then grouped by the league table thereafter.

The 50SS game will be Public Executions, Close Deployment, with Eliminate the Leadership, Dig Their Graves, Undercover Entourage, Show of Force & Take One For the Team

Enforcer Brawl Rules
Each player selects one Enforcer and attaches up to one Upgrade to it. The Upgrade must be something the Enforcer could have attached at the start of a normal game considering its Faction(s). (Leader only Upgrades may not be selected, for example.) The Enforcer must be one with a Cost which may be hired (no Coryphee Duets, for example).

The game is played on a standard table. Each player flips a card to determine deployment order; the player who flips highest deploys first, followed by the second highest, etc., until each player has deployed their Enforcer. If two or more players are tied, they reflip amongst themselves. Models may be deployed anywhere on the table which is more than 6” from another model.

Play proceeds for 6 rounds. Each round, all players flip for initiative; the player who flips highest must go first, followed by the second highest, etc. until all players have gone. If two or more players are tied, they reflip amongst
themselves. If a model receives Reactivate, it receives a second Activation at initiative -1 (if multiple models Reactivate, they flip to determine which goes first).

Before the game, assign a suit (R, t, etc.) to each table edge. On a player’s initiative, if they have no models in play or buried, they must flip a card which may not be cheated (reflipping jokers). The player places a new copy of the
model they chose at the start of the Brawl (including its Upgrade) within 6” of the board edge corresponding to the suit flipped and then proceeds with their Activation as normal.

Enforcer Brawl Restrictions
 * Players have a hand of 4 cards, instead of the usual 6.
 * Any Actions, Abilities, or Triggers which summon models are considered to be “blank” (they may not be used and have no effect on the game, as if they were not printed on the model).
 * When a model is buried, it may choose to be sacrificed instead (in which case it counts as sacrificed by the model which forced it to become buried).

Enforcer Brawl Scoring
At the end of 6 Turns, the player with the highest Victory Points wins. Players score VP in the following manner
 * 3 VP for each opposing model killed or sacrificed. A player scores 4 VP instead if the model they killed or sacrificed had a higher Soulstone Cost (including the cost of Upgrades) than their model did.
 * 1 VP for dealing 1 or more damage to an undamaged enemy (this may stack with killing the model). A player scores 2 VP instead if the model they damaged had a higher Soulstone Cost (including the cost of Upgrades) than their model did.
 * -3 VP for each time the player’s model was killed or sacrificed.
 * Players can not go below 0 VP.

Hardcore Henchman Restrictions
 * All Crews must be led by a Henchman, not a Master.
 * The game size is 20 Soulstones.
 * All Crews must contain exactly 4 models, no more, no less.
 * Upgrades may be purchased, as allowed by the standard rules of Malifaux.
 * The size of a Crew’s Soulstone Pool is limited by the Cache of the Henchman leading it; any Soulstones above this amount are discarded.
 * Any Actions, Abilities, or Triggers which summon models are considered to be “blank” (they may not be used and have no effect on the game, as if they were not printed on the model).
 * Only one Scheme will be available.
 * The same Crew must be used in each round of the event.

Hardcore Henchman Set Up
 * Deployment: Close.
 * Strategy: Hardcore Extraction. This Strategy uses the Extraction rules (GG18 pg. 16) with the exception that VP may be scored on the first Turn.
 * Scheme Pool: Eliminate the Leadership (GG18 pg. 12). This is the only Scheme available and it must always be taken.

Most are in agreement that we should try this.

I think while the 4 round argument is valid - it is the same as the 28 player rule we have had for years - some venues can't support that. If we get half way through the year and it hasn't worked out - we can re-run it - maybe even try different simulations. But I think this will work.

I assume the algorithm will adjust the points each participants gets automatically? Will bottom place in bigger events still get auto 5 points? 

Yes, 5 points for turning up - it always worked of the base of 100, that would be what changed.
