Back to The Huntsman this week, although with only four available players.

Game 1
Graham Followers Dream > Geoff !Tremere Bruise/Bleed > Nick Ravnos Illusions > Sam CEL/FOR Anarchs

This was a very quick game, which seems to be quite common at the moment. Anyway Graham surged forward with large numbers of Waters of Duat, while I built up numerous Anarchs. Geoff struggled with the speed, meaning he didn’t really get a chance to find either intercept or bloat before he was overrun. Nick had little pressure, but his Ravnos needed time to build up. He did fire an Edged Illusion back on Graham which certainly slowed him, and if he had followed up with a few more on me or Graham then he would have been in a stronger position. However I could push forward and oust Graham, with Nick following soon after, although he did put a number of my minions in torpor.

Win
Sam 3vps GW, Graham 1vp, Geoff 0vps, Nick 0vps.

Game 2
Sam Cycling Trujah > Nick !Nos Beats > Graham Assamite Bleed > Geoff !Tremere B/B

A slower game, although one that turned very violent. I was back rushed by Nick which sent Nehemiah down. Nehemiah was then eaten by Olugbenga who gained the AK-47 that was lying next to him. This slowed Nick down, although he picked on other minions with Fame, and still rushed Olug, causing him trouble. Geoff sent forward some large bleeds, and with Fame in play there was little I could do to resist. I did lose another minion, this time to aggravated damage, and I was quickly ousted. There was then a frenzy of combat, which ended up with every vampire (there were no allies in play) in torpor. The race was then on to be first to recover, but everyone was looking frail. Geoff pushed through Nick who never got the chance to take that AK-47. Geoff however had gained it earlier, with Uta, but she was still in torpor. It was a two player race, especially as everyone ended up in torpor againg. However Geoff finally got the Blood Dolls, and bought back Malgorzata his key vamp of the game and got the final oust.

Win
Geoff 4vps GW, Graham 0vps, Nick 0vps, Sam 0vps.

Next week will be at 18 QC Gardens, with only four players available - Sam, Graham, Paul and Nick. So if there are any cancellations then we will have to cancel the night.

The following Saturday is the ECQ in Burton for those that are going. If anyone needs cards or wants some opinions on their decks then post them up and we will see what we can do.

We will have to think about further meets at The Huntsman, as the main reason for starting them was for Andy to be able to come along and play, and of the five meets we have now had there he has managed to get to one of them. The main problem is the higher cost of meeting there - I spent £13.90 on parking, food and drink, which adds up especially compared with meeting at someones house. What do the rest of you think? Is it worth keeping the first Wednesday of the month plan, or not?

However we might want to plan some later in the year, as Richard may want to meet us there as he won’t be coming to work with Graham this summer. Its a big shame, but hopefully we will see Richard at some point during the summer months - perhaps BloodBATH 2008?
