Four of us gathered for this meet, Grahams first after the arrival of his second child.
Game 1
Geoff !Tremere Bruise/Bleed > Sam New Ventrue > Graham Followers Dream > Paul Recklessly Lost Assamites
A very quick game, with huge amounts of damage being thrown down. Geoff had big bleeds, I had big votes, Graham had lots of little bleeds, and Paul had even bigger votes. However my three Princes mostly stopped Pauls deck, who then tried to fend off the Followers with Dream World and stealth. Graham overran Paul, and then started to pressure Geoff. I had by then managed quite a lot of bloat, and could really surge forward, pushing past the Waters of Duat, and then on to oust Graham and Geoff in quick succession.
Win
Sam 3vps GW, Graham 1vp, Geoff 0vps, Paul 0vps.
Game 2
Graham Followers Dream > Geoff !Tremere Bruise/Bleed > Paul Warghouly > Sam Ahrimanes
A slower game, mostly due to the lack of big bleeds and big votes. Indeed a lot of the early discards were Poison Pill and Delaying Tactics. Grahams hordes put lots of pressure on Geoff, indeed Paul even sent the Warghouls over to slow them down a little but it wasn’t enough. I had slowed Paul a little, but he Direct Interventioned my Entrancement and I had to defend some more. Graham pushed through Geoff, and then overwhelmed Paul, mostly due to massed minions - I had sent two of Pauls vamps to Torpor. It was then down to two, but my reactions ran low, and Faceless Night took its toll preventing Howler from doing her thing.
Win
Graham 4vps GW, Geoff 0vps, Paul 0vps, Sam 0vps

Next week there is a plan to meet at The Huntsman on 30th of April. Quite a few players are unavailable (including me), so you will need everyone to turn up. Potentials are Paul, Geoff, Nick, Kieran and Andy.
The following meet is also planned for The Huntsman, on 7th of May. I will be available, as will everyone above, but Graham, Stevan, Richard and Steve are all away.
After that it will be back to 18 QC Gardens, on 14th of May. This will be the last practice meet for those going to the ECQ in Burton, for which Graham should be available, plus the above players.
17th of May is the ECQ in Burton, so far Graham, Kieran and Paul are going, and I think Nick is interested.
