Kind of New, have a few questions...

[Alcesinvicte]

Hello all. I've been messing around with Malifaux since it released but only just started getting serious about it. We have a pretty decent grasp on the general rules but we have a few questions about specific ability situations.

If an ability does not specify it's duration does it last until the end of the game? For example: Cassandra's ability "Southern Charm" merely says that all attacks and Damage flips against her receive [-]. Does this last until the end of the activation, turn, or game?

If a mannequin is linked to Colette and she does one of her model swaps with another performer the Mannequin pushes to be in base contact at the end of her activation. Does it push directly into contact with her ignoring other models and terrain? Or can it merely be picked up and placed into base contact anywhere on her base?

A model is engaged and must go through the disengage process if it is within melee range of an enemy model or is it only if they are in base to base?

I think that is everything we are wondering about at the moment. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If an effect does not have a specified end time it ends during the closing phase of the current turn

This is clarified in the FAQ that explains it with a nice diagram

You would try and disengage while within their melee range

As for the Mannequin: yes, just pick it up and place it in base contact with the target of the link.

The "push to within" is really a long push across the board, but you'd simulate that by just picking the Mannequin up and put it in contact.

*However* if the Mannequin has no route to where Colette ends up (if it's surrounded by other models for example) you cannot make the push.

Actually, since the FAQ, there doesn't need to be a valid path. You just pick it up and put it in the right place.
