turtleclub13 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 So quick rules questions. The enforcer brawl format, where everyone lays an enforcer, control hand of three, solid 5 turns, get 1 pt per turn your guys alive, 1 pt per kill, 1 pt per assist kill, and neg 3 pts per time your enforcer dies ( min 0). Your enforcer comes "respawns" on your turn if it died. So my first question is this. Should you still get assist points if your guy is not currently alive? second. How should turn order be decided whith 4 plus people? lastly. Is bete as broken as crap? You know, with the getting points for surviving the turn buried, and then not dying with a 10 in hand. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I don't think so. First, there isn't a fantastic chance she gets the 10 that she needs to hold on to (which is pretty huge in a hand of 3). Second, she needs something else to die to come back. Third, she just isn't that offensively out there. I consider her better as a threat and assist piece than as a killer, which is what matters in a solo game. I think a strong, well-rounded enforcer like Lazarus is a lot more threatening. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtleclub13 Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 What about turn sequence and assist points? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDisaster Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 What about turn sequence and assist points? I've played a few 4 way games in the past and we've always determined activation order the same way as normal. Just do a 4 way initiative flip where people that draw re-flip against each other. As for assist points I'd say if you are dead you aren't around to claim them so no joy there. Seems only fair and of course gives you an incentive to keep yourself alive! As for my Enforcer of choice I'd have to with Lazarus, Killjoy, Strongarm Suit, Bishop or maybe even a Freikorps Librarian. Not that I'm a massive Outcast fan or anything . Ashes and Dust could also be pretty funny. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Howard Langston is ridiculously broken with his decapitate trigger in this format. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDisaster Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Howard Langston is ridiculously broken with his decapitate trigger in this format. Well... With only a 3 card hand it does limit the the chances of him reliably being able to get said Trigger however if he does it's game over for sure! How would people deal with the Witchling Handler and her ability to summon Witchling Stalkers in this format? Or the Riders for that matter (Specifically thinking of the Mech but Pale could also be a bit of a problem) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twilightmikasa Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 The hand is supposed to be 4 cards, according to the Nova open rules. I'm hosting my first enforcer brawl next weekend so it should be an exciting format. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
default_108 Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I only played this once. The Mature Nephilim, I found, was like that joke "Where does an 800 pound gorilla sit? Anywhere he wants!" was a very apt description. Then again I was fighting a player who chose the Witchling Handler, and another player that chose the Strongarm Suit. So only one of them was really a threat at any given moment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I regard the formats as different ways to play MALIFAUX, but are about as balanced as a story encounter. If you are looking for a balanced game, don't play them, they aren't that bag. They are for mixing the game up so players don't get jaded. For my money then I really don't mind if any one model or two are OP. if it matters the TO can just ban them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuttleboy Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 It ain't 1 point per kill made, it's 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valhallan42nd Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Howard Langston is broken. Miss Step is much more balanced! Joking aside, Howard has free movement, a possibility of flurry, armor +1, and min damage 4 with a high melee. The decap is just icing on the cake. He/She is easily one of the bigger threats in the format. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
