    Yeah, we need to talk with our group to figure out some ideas to get better Malifaux terrain.

    For those who don't get why that matters, 1 - we need smaller pieces - the ones that take up a square foot aren't conducive to the way the game is supposed to play which should use 3-4 pieces of small terrain per square foot for a board that is 25-50 percent covered in terrain overall, 2 - there are rules for moving into and playing in buildings, but the 1 piece of terrain I knew of that had a removable top got destroyed pretty quickly, 3 - all los is determined by height bands, which always means a before hand discussion as to how to classify each part of a piece, 4- theme, but that is minor.

    Those are things we can deal with as a group as most of the malifaux players are hobby inclined. But it would suck if we make a bunch of stuff for malifaux and it gets mixed in with all the rest, to be carelessly handled.

    I do hope we can get a couple of those other mats like I had requested earlier in this thread, as I think it would make the oddball deployments a lot easier to use. Will send them a message about that.

    Also, the new mats look great. And I would support a designated hobby day to meet up with everyone and fix terrain and come up with ideas to ensure it doesn't get so banged up. Saturday afternoon is best for me for something like that.

    I like how they seem to be leaving the terrain on top of the tables, makes it easy to have a themed battleground ready to go. Tho would have been great if they had gotten a few of the x-wing type mats, or some 3/4x3's (that isn't a complaint, just a suggestion for future, as I know the FAt mats like that are available)
