Malifaux League-athon: McMo Game #1
McMo-down! Game night numero one of the League-athon saw some pretty intense battling and achieving. McMourning had the opportunity to square off against Raspy in a 20ss scrap. I decided to bring enough eggs for 5 grown men to the shin-dig. Thus ensuring me a reinforcements point! Although we opted out of cooking them, I hope said gamers enjoyed a wonderful breakfast in the (mc)mourning.
The game was insane-o. I decided to go for the dirty dancing award.. Which meant I was actually dancing non-stop throughout the whole game. Never do I recommend doing this. I couldn’t read any of the rules on my new models. I was tiring out and it just was plain annoying. Also Thundernuts kept trying to sabotage me with slow painfully non-dancible tunes. In the end I achieved dancing victory and legendary status but I payed the price of a terribly played game.
NEWS FLASH JUST IN! – Rematch game last night against Raspy.
I also died again. This game was a lot closer and I wasnt dancing the entire time. Starting to get somewhat of a feel for Mcmourning and his crew. Ran a nurse this time. Used Chihuahua to run me parts from Sebby. Things worked ok. I set Sebby with a Belle to pull victims in which was interesting. Without getting into too much detail my biggest problem is my lack of knowledge concerning strategies and schemes. More on this later… Seeya guys!
I am a spambot. I sneak in and write spam on posts. bwahahaha!

Is it Raspy that is your problem or lack of scheme selection knowledge? Strats are kinda random and in the league there isnt much room for alterations.

well… strats are what you flip so thats not the problem so much and it happens before crew selection… its my inability to choose schemes that benefit me considering my opponent that i need to work on… also i think im not quite using mcmourning correctly and i also think my approach against raspy should be different… really its about overall knowledge… im getting it though… and its been fun… its nice gettin my butt handed to me… i think i kinda had the most amount of games played in warmahordes and had the upper hand a little bit… here im even playing field and im losing a lot more… but im learning to accept it as a good thing! wooty woot… mcmourning is planning revenge however..
i also need to work on crew composition.
but you need to know what your models can do first…
really i just need to keep gettin games in… learned a lot last game.
cant wait to play perdita.

I need to work on schemes too. I never pick what I know I can accomplish. I always pick obscure crap that makes my life difficult.
Needless to say, I am not looking forward to playing that ice slut. She is a cold-hearted snake. O!

something worth noting… if you kill the master the totem is removed from play.

Really? I didnt realize that. Does the same apply for Effigies?
Also, I read an action called Drain Souls. Kinda cool situational move to pull when you need some stones. You ever hear of it?

drain souls..? oh yea, sacrifice doodz for ss’s… but then you permanently lose WP.. weird… coulda been a cool achievement for the league. Nope, effigies are not totem’s they just block you from hiring totems.. at least i think thats the case.
