SEV Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 So we can't declare henchman as leader in this format? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can, there's a generic option on the sign-up form for henchmen (TO will contact you for specifics) and another for X-roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You absolutely can declare to have a henchman led crew, which is why I was careful to say Leader as opposed to master during my phrasing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniacal_cackle Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 For a future series, I request double masters + iron scorpius. Double masters gets a lot more interesting when it locks you out of two masters for the rest of the tournament. I imagine we would see double master tech picks, but you couldn't just Molly + Kirai a whole tournament for example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insomniakwulf Posted December 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 So this season it's singles but given the feedback we are looking at allowing multimaster play next season, if we did do Iron scorpius for multi master any master used would be ruled out for future rounds, but we would never enforce multimaster play. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Historically I have been a bit against double masters, but I realised I don't have any tournament data to back that up (and it hasn't been a problem locally). Would be nice to see a high-calibre tournament put the idea to the test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to see a high-calibre tournament put the idea to the test. So multiple masters are inherently imbalanced, all it takes is looking at how much value certain masters bring as additional hire as opposed to others, kirai, zoraida, ophelia would all make solid additional masters that don't need any keyword support whereas ulix, Leveticus, mei feng don't really bring anything to a crew without their support pieces. But this isn't the place for this conversation, so we will leave it at that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higgybeans Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Hi there, I am interested in joining in as I have built and painted a lot this year but been unable to play. Would not knowing Vassal particularly well put me at a huge disadvantage? And are there other things I have to do first, or can I just jump in? I am relatively experienced in the game itself though, just not on computer top gaming 😂 Thanks, Higgy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the best thing you could do is join the discordant ask someone to run you through how to use vassal, knowing how to play will mean you just have to learn the controls, and as you have just over a week and a half that should be plenty for you to get the hang off things. https://discord.gg/QSApfr3ZMY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcathous Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 @Higgybeans In my experience, anyone with Malifaux experience takes less than a full game to get up to speed on Vassal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniacal_cackle Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 To add to this, make sure to watch a video of someone playing or get a tutor. You need to know what vassal can do to fully use it. I watched battle reports and was like "oh, what's the hotkey for that function" a lot. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a series of very old videos that seem to tutorial it quite well, and I've taken notes so I have a cheat sheet of functions 😛 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you hold shift you can move models more precisely using the arrow keys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think vassal changed it for a few versions and then either changed it back or the module makers found way to over ride it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
