So we didn’t actually meet up for this one, but it is the conclusion of our experiment with that high fangled internet JOL thing.

Game 1

Graham 4/5 Brujah > Richard 4/5 !Brujah > Sam Jack Dawson Rush > Stevan Followers Bleed > Geoff !Tremere

Graham and Richard battered against each other for a couple of turns, while I churned out weenies and shot up Stevans minions with Jack and his Assault Rifle. Geoff sat pretty building up in his corner, getting an oust on Graham. Unfortunately the time ran out (end of the year) before he could sweep the table, which looked very likely as Richard was low on minions, Jack was Banished with not enough pool to bring him back and Stevan had no ready minions left.

Draw
Geoff 1.5vps, Richard 0.5vps, Sam 0.5vps, Stevan 0.5vps, Graham 0vps.

Game 2

Geoff Malk Bleed > Graham Assamites > Sam Malk Block > Richard Nos Anarchs

Only four players for this one, and a slightly unbalanced game. We dodn’t get any ousted in the time, but again it was looking promising for Geoff as Graham had problems acting, while I wasn’t really up to much blocking. Richard had the minions, but complications of Anarchness (and lack there of) had hampered him.

Draw
All players 0.5vps.

Total: 40 Games (31 GW, 9 Draws 78%)

So Graham wins this year, taking the crown from Paul. We have only managed 40 games this year compared with 53 and 52 in previous years. Although the win ratio is way up, from 30% and 29% previously. It would look like this years list of players will be shorter, as we won’t see Nick and also seems unlikely to see much of Andy or Richard. Will have to see.

This weeks plan is Ad Astra, Grahams new board game. If you get the time the rules are downloadable from here.
