But why would I want to ruin, when I could kill? Perhaps later...

Bloodletter to Bretonnia 3/7 pp

Oh I'm not saying don't kill. By all means, Kill to your black heart's content! But also take a look at the board: Right now, Slaanesh, Nurgle and I are all crowding the Empire. Why? Because it's valuable. It is a source for clicks and points. And will continue to be so for as long as it lives. Which is why I believe it should be destroyed. That will stymie both Slaanesh and Nurgle by cutting off a source for easy points and guaranteed clicks, leaving them exposed for your axes to find them nice and clumped up and with fewer options for securing powerups. Look at the game history, brother: Nurgle and Slaanesh are dominating. We need to look out for one another this fight so these two don't run all over us.

Cultist to the Empire. 4/6

Nought

Seductress to The Empire.

2/6 PP

Holofernes

Your words don't hide the fact that the one with the most cultists is asking the one with the fewest to "help" ruin something...especially considering the cards on it right now. I would gain nothing by joining the petty squabble over the Empire. As a matter of fact, I think Tzeentch is a bit uppity, won't you agree, my friend and brother Slaanesh?

Nurgle @ 2/6 PP

susan

Khorne, anything you can do to keep Nurgle's last Cultist in Bretonnia?

Changer of Ways to The Border Princes, 4/6

lodwilk

Why brother, are you trying to convince our more warrior like brother to focus on me so you can get those dial advancements in the Border Princes and the Badlands? Me double ticking doesn't really mean anything since I won't win in that way. But you need to double tick atleast once so you can win this game via dial advancement.

susan

What? Tell our Bloody Brother to focus on you, Brother Nurgle? Perish the thought! Truly, I am merely hoping that Khorne has the opportunity to advance his dial this turn, for in the long run we are going to need Khorne to have some punch if we are to stand a chance against our Sister Brother's upgraded troops. Were I you, I would leave my last cultist in Bretonnia and allow our Brother to become a better opponent. Truly, it would be in your best interest.

While this Old World card remains in play, each Peasant token on the board raises the Resistance of the region it occupies by one.

Note: There are enough Peasants; two still in the box with these 8 placed.

Board update coming; in the meantime, Tzeentch can draw three cards (back to five in hand) and everyone else can draw two. Those of you not named Tzeentch should have a total of 7 cards between your hand and discard, with 17 left in the deck.
