leppardf Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 So, we play regular 3-4 player games and like the terraclips stuff a lot. So far we have found the scale of the set ups we like, (lots of layers for height and interest over a 4x4 square map) make game play tedious and slowat best. What we are about to experiment with is doubling range/movement to make it easier to use larger terrain...at this point it feels like Malifaux lite..lol Anyone else trying this route, or have any ideas for how to rule for climbing ladders/stairs, or even got any cool layouts to share?

Bigkid Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 We use the following house rules when using Terraclips: 1 The stone steps don't incurr any additional movement penalties for going up/down. ie you only measure the actual distance moved. You can only use them from the very front though. 2 The metal ladder things add 1" to the total distance moved but can be used from the side also. Both seem to work really well in our games including the 3 ways we often have. The only other advice I can give is to punch anyone who declares Kirai on a terraclips board...

i_was_like_you Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 I tend to play three or four players on my 4x4 table of Terraclips (or occasionally Heroscape terrain. We used to just use 3x3 of it, but we were far too close. Even with expanding to 4x4, with corner deployments, players are still close together, and some models see action immediately. Some turns might be duds for some players, if two players go opposite directions, or one holes up defensively. But usually, we still end most games with at least one player decimated by turn 3, and most VP claimed by turn 4. Ladders / stairs are unimpeded walks up or down, just like slopes. Of all of the in game batrep pictures I take of our games, I couldn't find one that shows the whole board at a glance. But here's a shot from one end of "Silurid Park," so-named due to the primed Silurids being used as statues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved using that tactic with my Hungering Darkness. Emerge, cast, submerge. But super totem or not, he's still just one model. A whole crew of Uboats does have to suck.

leppardf Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 EEEk, big misunderstanding! It looks like you guys are referring to Malifaux, while we are talking about Puppet Wars, Unstitched. Unstitched is usually played on a tiny board, while we are looking to expand both the size and complexity of our environment. I guess it plays like a hybrid...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigkid Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Errr...That'll teach me to just click on 'New Posts' and not check which forum they're in... In that case I'll bid you good day sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I'd just slow inch the sizes up from the default board size until you get something you're comfortable with. You can have an interesting board without having puppet trying to walk all over a town sized board. They're meant to be on the shelves or floorboards of Zoraida's hut.

From what I see Malifaux is just a little too "involved", with too many rules and variables, but PW is ....small...lol, I guess there is no pleasing us! We are currently experimenting with a "capture the flag" scenario, played on a 4 tile Terraclips board, it is fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_was_like_you Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 There will still be plenty of people, on the forums and otherwise, who will be sticking to Malifaux Classic, for one reason or another. Your board looks more involved than a lot of people's boards for Malifaux proper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
