Hi

My discord handle is not in the dropdown menu  can't manually add.

@Ceodoc -- you should be able to re-register and use the drop down now. If that doesn't work, let me know and we'll get you in manually on the back end, but I want to make sure the problem is fixed for all events, and if you can successfully register, it should be.

Cheers!

Hi friends -- currently there seems to be an issue with uploading our packet to the Forum. It has been posted (and pinned) in the #general channel of the Malifaux Vassal LFG discord channel, which is heavily used for coordinating and reporting matches: https://discord.gg/GDMhmFUc

If any registrants or players need help getting oriented to the discord or have trouble accessing the packet, please feel free to drop me a message here or on discord (with the latter being significantly faster to catch my attention).

Cheers!

For Round 1, could you please clarify the Terrain traits of the center area. (Adding my interpretation in parentheses)

Do the Wall-looking things on either side of each staircase have a Height, can they be moved through to get on/off the stairs, or are they just part of the stairs?
(It feels to me like the intent is for the "stairs" themselves to only have the +Ht1/2/3 trait, while the walls on either side of the stairs should be a Ht2 or 3 Blocking/Climbable wall - that way you can only walk up/down the stairs but it will block line of sight if LoS is drawn over it)

What is the central square considered? This isn't mentioned at all.
(It seems to me like a Ht3 flat platform which is Blocking/Climbable so that models can climb up the corners)

What is the "border" and/or quarter-circle "pillars" in the corners of the central square counted as? Are they walls/pillars with Blocking/Climbable? Or can models be pushed off the middle platform in any direction?
(I can't imagine they would be walls even if they really look like it, since that would make the center marker unreachable - but are the corner bits pillars or just flat ground?)

Thanks @Whut -- good questions. I'll be adding the following to the tournament discord to help clarify them as well:

Map clarifications for Round One:

- the central platform is ht 3, blocking, climbable at corners. The entire platform (corners, center, etc) is one terrain piece. Each stair is then a separate terrain piece

- the four stair sets are all ht 1/2/3 (base/middle/top). A model gains the Ht 1 if it is also in base contact with the grass, ht 2 if fully on the stairs (or overhanging from them), ht 3 if it is in base contact with the top platform. The white "railings" at the sides of the stairs are treated as ornamental and do not have additional ht or features to a model standing on the stairs.

- Stairs are blocking if a sight line is drawn THROUGH them, but not to a model standing on the stairs. Stairs do not require additional vertical distance to move up/down if you move along the top/bottom. The sides of the stairs (white "railings") are climbable, treated as ht 2 from the sides
