"Sorry" out of luck.

With the release of the second act of A Stitch In Time means the continuation of the groups being played at Gateway Games and Hobbies in Sequim, and new play sessions to be had!

As with Act 1, we'll have multiple groups running through the event, with the first of which meeting this Friday, March 17th at 3:30 p.m. If you're interested in joining that group or one of the others -- which have yet to be scheduled for this act -- come down to the store (235 E Washington Ave in Sequim, WA) or call the store at  (360) 683-8534 for more information or to sign up!

Are you a Malifaux player? Do you like to go Through The Breach, or perhaps take a sojourn on The Other Side? Then on Thursdays in Sequim, WA, Gateway Games & Hobbies (235 E Washington) is the place to be. 

From 4 pm until closing, there will be demo games, full games, Henchman Hardcore games, Through The Breach sessions -- if you think of it, we can probably get it going. There's a lot of fun to be had when we get together on Wyrd Thursdays in May, and you should join in.

As a reminder, we'll be hosting a second playthrough of A Stitch In Time for players still interested who have not yet participated this week! Due to time commitments of those signed up so far, we'll be moving the session from Thursday to this Saturday, March 4th. Call Gateway Games and Hobbies in Sequim, WA or visit the store (235 E Washington St.) to sign up or to get more information!

Are you a new Through the Breach player, or want to play with a new character you don't have to spend a lot of time developing and tracking? Do you just want to help your preferred faction? Then the upcoming Stitch In Time event is for you!

I will be running groups of the event's pre-generated players through the Stitch In Time World Event at Gateway Games and Hobby in Sequim, Washington (235 E Washington St.) on Thursdays, starting on February 22nd (with a following Act 1 event on March 1st). Players will be taken through the Breach in groups of five, with overflow signups available for additional interested players. Please come down to the store or call (360) 683-8534 to sign up!

It's barely February yet (or not even, depending on your time zone). Give them time, we usually find out in the first week of the month.

I've been throwing Airship on a scheme running Iron Skeeter -- it may sound odd, but it lets him drop a piano from around the corner of something to clear the way, then fly into position for the scheme he wants to run.

I ran Francois (DC/HitM), Burt (DC), Rami, and a Bayou in a local HH tournament last weekend and cleaned house. Everyone was caught off-guard by the alpha strike potential of Frank and Rami, and the ability of Burt to keep steady damage going while those two were licking their self-inflicted wounds (not to mention his defensive trigger, which killed Bishop in the final) was massive. Also key was Frank's huge Stone pool, which kept him going at crucial times.

I've had an odd amount of success using them to tie up key pieces in my opponent's crew. Charge them up into their faces and force them to either kill the piggies and have it blow up in their face (and not use AP on the rest of my crew!) or waste AP on trying to walk out of engagement, which for some reason has gone really well in terms of forcing lots of wasted AP.

I've been playing with the idea of pairing him with a Guild Autopsy or two. They shoot the target full of poison, then Raf runs in and finishes the job with flair.

This works for either Sonnia or Kaeris: 

Dirty Cheater is pretty much automatic on Frank for me.

Malifaux can be a pretty brutal game for most new players, and it takes a LOT of repetition and trying things over and over again and in different ways to start seeing the patterns and combinations needed to succeed. I've found success with my (admittedly limited) pool of Gremlins with most schemes in one form or another, but there's not specific advice I can give. Gremlins lean very, very, very heavily on reading the board and reacting accordingly, more so than most factions in my experience. 

As to why you're having issues killing Peacekeepers... well, that's just a rough matchup. They will tend to slaughter Gremlins, but they'll slaughter many things. If you're facing more than one at a time in a single game, though, then your opponent is cheating, as to the best of my knowledge they're a Rare 1 model. Regardless of that, however, the best thing you can probably do is keep throwing cheap, expendable models at it to slow it down while you go about your business elsewhere. Piglets, Stuffed Piglets, Bayou Gremlins, that like. Yes, they'll die fast, but they'll keep the Peacekeeper from closing down on you as ably and keep their massive killing power at bay. Being able to essentially take an 11-stone model out of the game like that is a massive blow to your opponent, and since it's only defense 4 you can still whittle it down steadily even with Armor +2 and HtK.

If you're having issues with wargamevault's shopping cart, you'll have to ask them. That's on their end. @yool1981

For Abyssinia, Electrocutioners. Though the Mechanized Infantry have me reaaaaaaaaal tempted.

By the looks of the model bases and what Wyrd has said about how much thinner the Fireteam bases are getting, I'd imagine that they'd be pretty easy to magnetize to keep models secure but still make them easy to manage for removal/reinforcing.

Sure, but on the other Hand they also could have appealed to me. For me it's rather that it got cancelled over a project I do not care for enough... and it got announced as a happy thing to do...

It IS a happy thing in that it's to better support a product that, while you may not care for it, looks like it can help sustain and improve the long-term financial health of Wyrd and allow them to do more of the smaller side projects that you DO care for, including some of the ones that they pulled funding for.

The best bit about the errata is that now the Nothing Beast is a henchman, which pairs well with Scion's abilities. 

Not to mention becoming much more durable thanks to being able to use stones.

A fair amount of time you know where the BJ is because you tried to do something important and already flipped it.  

"Hey sweet, double positive damage flip on your master, who's down to four wounds! This is gonna be gre... oh **** it's the black joker."

excuse me if this has been already pointed out but now that tara gets infiltration.... "Critters" in karina's faces of oblivion loses a lot of sense. Shouldn't it be changed?

Critters still allows Tara to hire Guild Autopsies as an Outcast master, which is a helpful and thematic thing for her (unless I missed them picking up Void somewhere in the errata).

Just now, Freman said:

Well you don't need Dead of Winter to take Death Marshals now, so it's almost a pointless upgrade.

Not at all, that damage prevention that replaced Darlings is very useful.

War Room is GREAT for list building and card browsing, but when it comes to actually using it to play it's a miserable experience. I refuse to use it for that, actually, unless I absolutely have to -- which is why I'm REALLY not happy that PP is going to stop giving you cards when you buy their stuff.

So yes, take the good from things like War Room, and leave the bad. It's doable -- we have examples of what works and what doesn't. Learn from and fix the mistakes, and we can get great apps for TOS and Malifaux.

I've definitely noticed the various opportunities across the factions to get you bought into other factions.. as a Tara player, I now own ressers for summoning with Karina. As a Misaki player, I now have 10T models... The first hit in a faction is always free I guess...

Sounds like someone has an excuse to pick up Yan Lo.
