Strolling into combat

[Lovepuppet]

Hi everyone,

Played my first game of Malifaux a few days ago and I've been reading through the rulebook to see what mistakes we made.

One that I'm still not sure about is the matter of walking into melee combat.

The way we played it (it didn't occur to us not to) is that if you walked so that an enemy model entered your melee zone, you could perform a melee strike as part of the same action. However, it now seems to me that you would have to make the strike as a separate action - I'm just not 100% sure.

Could anyone clarify please?

There are two actions. walk and strike. Each action costs 1AP.

There is also a charge which uses the second number in a character's walk stat (usually slightly more than the actual walk distance). That is a move and strike. Charging costs 2 AP.

Hi,

Thanks PlasticBoy, I thought that was how it worked, I guess I just wanted it confirming from someone else.
