pugwhan Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 The Battle for Malifaux Background: The ancient city of Malifaux is in disarray. A recent influx of cheap convict labor has incited strikes and riots from the Miners and Steamfitters Union. The violent clashes between union workers and the convict scabs have stretched the Guild’s law enforcement to the limit...This is the moment you have been waiting for. All your preparations are about to come to fruition. In safe houses and strongholds hidden throughout the city, your minions await the command to strike. Seize the moment and wrest control of the city. Rules: The league is $5.00 for all participants. League runs Dec 3rd – Jan 7th Participants will need to be present at All About Games! Monday, Dec 2, 6:30pm to 7:00pm in order to generate their starting locations for the league. Each participant will begin the league controlling between 5 and 6 locations. All flips for initial locations must be made under the supervision of the League Henchman (Mike). The first flip is for number of initial locations a player controls. Black Joker = 5 Starting Territories (1 is salted at random) 1 - 13 = 5 Starting Territories Red Joker = 6 Starting Territories Once the number of initial locations has been determined, players will flip a number of cards from their fate deck equal to the number of initial locations they control (i.e. between 5 to 6) to determine whether they are indoor or outdoor locations. Black or Red Joker = Players Choice 1-7 = Outdoor location 8-13 = Indoor location After a player has determined the number of indoor and outdoor locations they control, they will then flip a number of cards from their fate deck equal to the number of initial locations they control (i.e. between 5 to 6) to determine the locations they control. Outdoor Locations Hags Territory Gremlin Village Bayou's Edge Bogs Downtown Industrial Zone Slums Quarantine Zone Ruins Mine Pioneer/ Ghost Town Badlands Mountains Black or Red Joker. Players Choice Indoor Locations Theatre Sewers Arcanist's Lab Resurrectionist's Lab Guild Library Necropolis Guild Holding Facility Warehouse Research Facility Cave/ Mine System Ancient Ruins Large Tavern Collapsed City Block Black or Red Joker. Players choice A player that donates a piece of terrain for the use of the league (must be available for the full duration of the league, at least 3" x 3" in size and fully painted) will be considered a Patron of Malifaux and may choose up to one of their initial locations rather then randomly determining it. During league games, all participants will "wager" one of their controlled locations each game (unless they do not currently own any). The winner of the game will gain the location "wagered" by his opponent. The loser of the game will lose the location that he "wagered". Draws will result in both players locations being salted. Salted locations lose the use of their special benefit for the duration of the league. The Ronin Rule: Players without a location to "wager" (henceforth referred to as Ronin), instead choose one from their opponents list of controlled locations to fight over then flips a random location to wager. In this circumstance, the player that has locations under his control does not "Wager" another location. The winner of this game gains both locations. Two Ronin players may not play league games against each other. A player loses the Ronin title once he gains control of at least one Location. [*] During league games a player may only use the Special Benefit of the Location that is being "wagered" and no others they control, i.e. you may not use the benefit of a "Collapsed City Block" if you "Wagered" control of "Downtown". Participants are expected to play at least one league game per week. No more than two games may be played in a single week, and players are not allowed to play the same opponents more than once in a row. A league score sheet must be completed by both participants and turned into either the attending Henchman or All About Games! Staff. The following changes to the standard Game rules will be in effect throughout the league: Players must use the same Faction throughout the league. All league games will be Scraps with a maximum of a 35 Soul Stone Encounter Size (Henchman being played as Masters may use their Henchman Reserve to exceed the Encounter Size in accordance with their rules on page 71 of the Rules Manual). Encounter Size is to be agreed upon by both players. Players may change their crews' composition between games. Once players have determined the locations they will "wager" for the game, both will flip a card from their fate decks. The high card determines the encounters location between the two that were "wagered". Deployment type and Strategies are determined as normal except: Strategies will be generated by each player from the Individual Strategies Chart on page 69 of the Rules Manual. Should both players generate the same individual strategy then the game will be a Shared Strategy. [*] Schemes may be chosen in accordance with pages 72-73 of the Rules Manual.
