Malifaux Gaming - three player battle mode

A quick update of my second game of Malifaux.  Originally this was a 1vs1 game, a game for me to learn, but due to another player at the club without a game we decided to do something different.  We decided to make a game where all three players can get involved.  The player who I was originally playing against, James, came up with an idea of capturing a token that was placed in the centre of the gaming mat and walking away with it, off the board, to win the game.  In order to pick up the token you need to use 1AP, also the carrior can only make one 1AP each turn.

The crews were to start at each side of the mat.  Terrains were then added with two pieces selected and placed by the players, obviously making it difficult for the opposition.  We did use a scatter die to make it more randomise but didn't much difference.

This is no way a battle report, which I won't attempt to try.  Though with Malifaux being a recommended 1vs1 game it was very fun what we did.  I used the McCabe crew and was mostly shooting from distance, whilst James using his Hoffman crew was battling Franc, our third player, with his Resurrectionist.

The game was eventually won by James on the forth turn when his Watcher flew off the with the token.  It all could have been different as at one point the Watcher was engaged with two Resurrectionist in the centre.  James needed to disengage from combat and with the the Watcher being weaker he was desperate to get away.  He made the necessary card flips.  The first flip James drew was a low card though Franc couldn't match.  He didn't want to cheat as he still had another Resurrectionist engaged against the Watcher, which he was confident on getting his result.  Second time round James drew a high card this time Franc drew a low card and he still didn't cheat not because he didn't want to but couldn't, which says he did have any high cheat cards.

In the end James made some good moves using Hoffman's buff of Fast on the Watcher. The last turn saw the Watcher fly away into the far distance and bu that winning the game.

This was a very fun game for me, being not conventional and having a good laugh.
