VYING FOR POWER

As much respect as I respect my father, our Oyabun, this is a new world with new rules. So I will

lead the Ten Thunders, as he asks, but I will do it my way, and I will take you all with me. To the

very top. This world will not know our next move until we make it.Misaki Katanaka

GENERAL RULES

CAMPAIGN FEE

There is a R50 fee to be paid to enter into this Campaign which will go towards the prize money.

HIRING POOL

Each player is asked to choose one Leader to join the Campaign. Players with only one Leader will be given preference but repetition of Masters is not

allowed as a whole. Thus, no one Leader will have to face themselves throughout the

Campaign.

The size of the Hiring Pool is 60ss The Master or Henchman chosen to lead the Hiring Pool must be listed but does not

count towards the Hiring Pools overall points limit.

The 2ss cost to Manifest Avatars is required to be paid into the hiring pool. If the Hiring Pool is not led by a Henchman may be hired as a Minion in the Hiring Pool.

You may hire more than one Henchman into the Hiring Pool but Bear in mind that they

may not be used together.

Out of Faction models may be included in a Hiring Pool if one or more of the Hiring PoolLeaders special hiring rules would allow those models to be included in at least one

Crew the Player might build. These models DO NOT cost additional or fewer Soulstones

when calculating the Hiring Pool total. However, when generating a Crew list for

purposes of the Campaign round apply any hiring discounts or costs as per the special

rules of the Leader or model in question.

A player does not need to include models in his or her Hiring Pool if the model does notcost Soulstones (e.g. Summonable Models) just as they would not need to include them

in a standard Crews point allocation.

Bear in mind that the restrictions placed on the hiring of Special Forces models are liftedfor the purposes of hiring models into the Hiring Pool but are treated as normal for

purposes of the Campaign round. For example, Seamus would not normally be able to

hire both the Rogue Necromancy and Carrion Effigy into a standard Crew, however, he

may in the case of the Hiring Pool.

If a Leader is Dual Faction it is necessary for players to settle on one faction to whichthat Leader will belong for the entirety of the Campaign.

ETIQUETTE

This should be pretty straight forward for everyone. The game is designed to be fun so try and

keep things light-hearted. If anyone is caught cheating they will be either excluded from the

Campaign or penalized for the Encounter as seen fit by the Campaign Organizers. There are two

so any indiscretions made by either of them throughout the Campaign may be handled by the

non-offending CO.

PAINTED MODELS

A fully-painted and based model does not show any visible bare metal or primer. The paint job

should look like the painter made an effort to stay within the lines and enhance the appearance

of the model with their painting. Bases should not be bare. Players using a fully painted Hiring

Crew will be awarded extra Campaign points when tallying results.

PROXY MODELS

Proxy models are allowed but the inclusion of proxy models excludes a player for consideration

of any extra points awarded for a painted Hiring Pool.

BACKGROUND STORIES

Each player will be asked to write a background story as to why their Leader is participating in

the Campaign. After each Campaign turn players will be asked to amend these stories to reflect

changes in the conditions in the Campaign. This is not required but the background story voted

as the best by the participating players will be awarded bonus Campaign Points.

CAMPAIGN LENGTH

The Campaign will last for 12 weeks. Each Campaign Turn is expected to take two weeks.


5/12

CAMPAIGN TURNS

Each Campaign Turn is expected to take two weeks. The turn will begin on a weekend and end

on the Friday two weeks later. Thus everyone should be able to finish as they have that

weekend, the following Wednesday, the following weekend, and the Wednesday following that.

Thus, all actions for the following turn should be declared in the two days before the next

Campaign Turn starts.

DECLARING YOUR ACTIONS

Declaring your actions means that you have stated whether you take the Move, Consolidate,

Invasion, or Raid Actions in a given Campaign Turn to spend your Action Points. If choosing the

Invasion or Raid actions the Strategy must be declared at this time too. All players must also

declare their Defensive Strategies for the round at this point too, if it is possible that they may

be Invaded or Raided. The order in which these takes place is as written here: 1. Move Actions,

2. Consolidate Actions, 3. Invasion and Raid Actions. Each action is resolved one at a time to

avoid more than two players engaging in one Encounter.

The reason for this particular order is that the Move and Consolidate Actions are very easily

resolved and would cause confusion if they were to happen out of this sequence. If an Invasion

was declared on a Territory that is no longer occupied, treat this Invasion Action as a Move

Action and Consolidation Action in the Territory that was invaded. If a Raid Action was declared

on a Territory that is no longer occupied, treat this Raid Action as successful and if the Treasure

Hunt or Plant Evidence Strategies was selected apply the benefits. If a new opponent occupies a

Territory that used to be occupied another opponent they simply become the defender in the

case of an Invasion or Raid Action.

Any players that have not declared their Actions by the Friday before the start of the next turn

will be assumed to have passed on that particular Campaign Turn. They may still participate indefending their Territories though. Any player that fails to complete all the required Encounters

within the allotted time will be taken to have forfeited those Encounters and opposing players

will be awarded points as such.

CALCULATING CAMPAIGN POINTS

The player with the highest number of Campaign points will be declared the winner of the

Campaign. Points are tallied after 6 Campaign Turns. Players earn 1 Campaign point for each of

their occupied Territories at the end of the sixth Campaign Turn. Players will earn 1 Campaign

point per Encounter they won. So Defending, Invading, and Raiding Players may earn points in

this way. Players with fully painted Hiring Pools will earn 2 Campaign Points. The player voted

to have the best Background Story will also receive 2 Campaign Points.

JOINING LATE

Players may enter into the Campaign Late as long as they understand that they will have fewer

turns to conduct their business and they have paid the Campaign Fee in full. Players who join

late will automatically count as Routed.

TERRITORIES

HOME TURF

All players start on Home Turf which is considered Consolidated from the first Campaign Turn.

There are a number of Territories listed below that are listed with the Faction that may choose

the Territory as Home Turf. Each player may choose to his or her home turf from the listed

Territories provided the players Leader belongs to the faction listed.

NEUTRAL TURF

Neutral Turf is turf listed below that may not be chosen by any player as a Home Turf.

ENTRY POINTS

There are several Entry Points on a Malifaux map. Players may not declare Movement,

Invasions, or Raids into this area. The only time a Player may occupy an Entry Point is if he or

she is Routed. Players occupying Entry Points may not take Consolidate Actions in them and

must declare a Move or Invasion action in the next turn so as to move out of the area as quickly

as possible.


7/12

- 6 -

ROUTED

If after an Invasion Action a player fins that he has no Consolidated Territories to retreat too he

is then counted as Routed. What this means is that the player retreats to one of the Entry Points

on the map and must begin his Campaign from scratch. This does not mean that he loses all of

his Campaign points up until that point only that he must begin to try and make his or her name

in Malifaux again, however, this time he starts with no Home Turf and so things are more

difficult.

THE DIFFERENT TERRITORIES

The Defending player may choose the Location Type if more than one is listed.

CAMPAIGN ACTIONS

In the campaign there are four different campaign actions. Each player will be given the chance

to take one action in a Campaign turn. Each action is declared from a Controlled Territory. A

Controlled Territory is the Territory in which a players Leader is currently placed. All actions

are declared from a Controlled Territory. This means that no action may be taken from a

Territory that does not contain the players Leader. Each player will get two Action Points per

Campaign Turn. The Move Action costs one Action Point, The Consolidate and Raid Actions cost

one Action Point each but may only be taken once each in a Campaign Turn, finally the Invade

Action costs two Action Points.


9/12

- 8 -

MOVE ACTION:

The first action is the Move Action. This action allows the player to move his or her master to an

unoccupied and adjacent Territory thus making that Territory the Controlled Territory.

CONSOLIDATE ACTION:

The second available action is the Consolidate Action. This action allows a player to claim the

Territory currently occupied by their Leader. What this means is that even if the Territory is not

currently occupied by a players Leader, it still counts as occupied in terms of restricting the

Movement actions of other players and controlled in terms of being able to be the Defender

against a Raid or Invasion action declared by another player.

INVASION ACTION:

The third action is the Invasion Action. This action may be taken in order to make an attacking

move into an adjacent occupied Territory. This means that the Invading player and Defending

player enter into a conflict that must be resolved by engaging in an Encounter with the

restrictions and effects listed in the Encounter section of this rules pack. If an Invading player

successfully wins the encounter and the Defending players Leader is occupying the Territory

the Defender is pushed back into one of their friendly Consolidated Territory while the Invading

player then moves and occupies the Invaded Territory. If the Invading player loses it is the one

that is pushed back to a friendly Consolidated Territory. If there are no Consolidated Territories

to be pushed back into the Player is considered to be Routed.

RAID ACTION

The Raid Action is the fourth action players may take. This action may be taken in order to

disrupt enemy players. Like the Invasion Action this action is taken by making an attack into an

occupied adjacent Territory. The Raiding player and Defending player also enter into a conflict

that must be resolved by engaging in an Encounter with the restrictions and effects listed in the

Encounter section of this rules pack. However, after the conflict is resolved neither player is

forced out of the Territory unless stated in a specific rule.
