Malifaux Campaign
Forces
In this campaign each crew will
be operating its own crime syndicate, from humble beginnings to Mafia overlord.
Each player will submit a fixed 50ss list to be used from the start of the
campaign. As the campaign progresses, your pool of models will increase
alongside your territory. This will be explained further below.
Sponsorship
This section of Malifaux is beyond Guild control, they simply do not
have the forces to intervene. It has been deemed more efficient to ‘sponsor’ various
‘pillars of the community’ to act on their behalf. This often comes in the form of sponsoring
hits on gang leaders to prevent one party establishing enough power to create a
worry. As such, when players are selecting their forces, the player with the
least number of territories adds the difference to their cache (this may take
the cache above 7, but no more cache may be bought if this happens). These
Soulstones may not be spent on additional models and are just to be used in
game.
Map
The map is made up of sections. Each of these sections will be either
neutral, or be influenced by one of the players. The more sections you have
influence over, the more power your crew will have. Each player will have a
base of operations, this may not be contested (see below) by opposing players. When
you expand and seize new tiles they need to be connected to your base. To be
connected there needs to be an unbroken chain of influenced sections between
your base of operations and the section. Expansion will be explained further
down.
Some map sections will also have a business. This can be anything from
mining to whoring. When you have the majority of each kind of business on the
map you are said to have ‘monopoly’ of that business. For each monopoly
selected you increase the models available to your crew:

What it means by ‘pool’ is that when you may select your crew at the
beginning of each game selected only from the models in your pool to the value
of 50ss. Summoned models don’t need to be included but upgrades do.
If a player has three monopolies, then they have won the campaign.
Victory:
As previously stated, as soon as
one player manages to claim 3 monopolies, they have won. However, the campaign
will only go on for 3 months. If no one has achieved victory at the end of 3
months, the player with the most territory sections wins.
Turns:
Each turn in Malifaux will result in a number of missions being
generated. This number of missions is equal to the number of players divided by
two, rounding up. E.g. if there were 4 people playing
there would be 2 missions generated (4/2=2) but if there was 5 there would be 3
(5/2=2.5 round to 3). Each of these missions will be generated by
flipping a card and comparing it to the relevant scenario in the chart provided
in the story section of the Malifaux rulebook and flipping two cards for
schemes just like in a normal game of Malifaux. Once all missions have been
revealed, the player with the least territories may choose whether they want to
select their battleground first or last. The other players will then select in
ascending or descending order depending on what the other player selected.
Conquest
Once players have taken part in
the various scenarios, the winner may select a map section to claim. They will
also gain loot, further explained below.
Contesting:
When you select a section for your crew to gain influence over you may
select sections already controlled by another crew only if it was the result of
winning a game over that player. That way players have a chance to defend their
territories or avoid risking conflict and not chose the same battlefields as
the invader!
Loot:
Winning battles will also provide loot to the victor’s leader. The type
of loot won in the mission is determined at the same time as the mission, so
people know what they are fighting over. To generate simply flip a card and
compare it to the table below. These
only effect your leader and last for one game:
