I don't see  Diesel Engine in the Guild Upgrade list. Its time to Call 0-800-WITCH-HUNTERS (yes, Malifaux phone numbers are that long)

Guh, guess that didn't make it through Closed Beta.  Let me refamiliarize myself...

I start with the attack style I want to bring. If I think I can accomplish melee against an elite crew, peacekeeper and guardians and plan on Hoffman actually meleeing also. If I won’t reach melee but guns will do, Miss Kore (only if Ryle isn’t available, I prefer him to her for gunnery) and hunters.

I've been theorycrafting a DMH list taking both Ryle and Kore to turn Hoffman into more of a shooting and engagement control master.  It seems very expensive to do what I want, however.

How I played it in closed beta is Hoffman gives guardian fast amongst other things. Then guardian tossed Hoffman and runs after him =P then turn 2 you are close enough to do stuff without hoffman being miles behind

I did the exact same thing.  Also do keep in mind re: Guardians feeling pricy that as minions they can reap the full benefit of upgrades.  A Guardian with Diesel Engine can be a surprising deterrent.

Best of luck, Mason!  For what it's worth I think you did a bang-up job handling the M3E beta.

I have just started Malifaux (played 3 games), so if we do know each other I'm guessing it's from another game.

That was the implication I intended to convey.  Infinity?

Added Comic Quest in Lake Forest California. Not a lot of action there for Malifaux, but I'm looking to get some people interested in the OC area.

I suspect we know each other.  Call it a hunch.

West LA.

How did it do? I'd be afraid of all that ranged stuff in headhunter.

It did okay.  I got cagey and went for schemes, sticking to my own zone and pursuing Eliminate the Leadership and Take Prisoner (on his Widow Weaver).  He pretty swiftly outclassed me on Headhunter but I was able to make up the difference by offing Collodi very early with a sustained rifle barrage.  Once he closed to melee he slaughtered my crew and maxed Headhunter but I still tied us off by waddling Dashel up to engage Widow Weaver in the final activation.

My last list was a Lucius thematic crew, which I'm quite fond of.  I was running up against Collodi (in Headhunter IIRC) and it was a pretty casual game.

• LUCIUS
  • Deep Pockets
  • Legalese
  • Watch My Back
• CAPTAIN DASHEL
  • Arrest Him
  • A Debt to the Guild
• MASTER QUEEG
• GUARD SERGEANT
  • A Debt to the Guild
• GUILD AUSTRINGER
• GUILD RIFLEMAN
• GUILD RIFLEMAN
• GUILD GUARD
• GUILD GUARD

All kvetching aside, I actually ran a lot of Arrest Him! Dashel alongside McCabe, as Guild Guards are a good cheap vector for McCabe's Sword in big brawls.

Starting M2E with Lucius finally pays off!
