    As positive as I am that Khorne had that moved planned out all along, Tzeentch I really wish you hadn't brought attention to Troll Country like that.

    *sigh* It was a calculated risk that he didn't have that card, and anyway Khorne was going to double-click anyway after Slaanesh refused to abandon Estalia and/or the Border Princes. Barring intervention from the Dice Gods, I think Khorne may be our winner...

    Empire Cultist to Troll Country, 0/6 and done in more ways that one.

    Which.. makes it easier for Khorne to tick in that region.

    Considerably... For reference, dial-ticks take precidence over points in endgame, right? As in, in all likelihood, Khorne will need kill but one solitary model next round to take it all?

    Yep. Dial victory over victory points.

    And I do take control of the Bloodletter in Border Princes.

    Well, if you look at the PPs, after I moved the Keeper to Border Princes, I didn't have the PP to remove my cultists from regions with Khorne, as susan wanted me to do.

    The reason for the concentration is to preposition the figures for next turn. Khorne would only get one dial token from it, and if he rolled really bad, then maybe my upgraded cultist will live. In fact, I will dominate the region if Khorne gets one or three hits.

    He has six dice; if he even gets two hits, he'll tie you for Domination and you'll get nothing from there. Hindsight, of course.

    Well, I didn't really move them there for the domination, but to have them there for next turn. and as usual I forgot about the damn point from the card :)

    Also, atm I consider Nurgle and Tzeentch not winning 2nd best after me winning.

    Hmm. I just noticed that I don't get a dial token this round. Not really a catastrophe since I would just have used it for +1 PP, and I can't see that being the deciding factor next turn.

    Alright, Nurgle/Slaanesh, huddle in, it's game time. I ain't gonna lie; it's probably too late for us all, but we can't quit now and by the Dark Gods (ie, Us) we may still pull this one off.

    Odds are that Khorne has one, possibly multiple of those 'Can't Summon Away' cards, which if I were him I'd plop immediately into Norsca then Estalia. Slaanesh, if you got a FoE, it is of vital importance that you hold onto it and match up card slots where Khorne tries to lock us down. I'm outta Charger of Ways cards; I can't really help here. Best I can do is teleport people around, not that that would actually help much. Nurgle, save defensive cards until they're absolutely necessary. If Khorne puts down a non-'Can't Summon' card we gotta fill up the other slot fast so Khorne can't slide one in behind us. We need to stay mobile out there people, stay pumped. Break!

    Round 5, End phase

    Board at the start of the end phase:
    citowg26r58.gif

    1. Remove Chaos Cards from the Board - Control dissipates

    2. Hero Tokens are resolved - Heroes strike down someone from Khorne in Bretonnia

    3. Resolve Old World cards - Slaanesh removes the hero from Estalia

    4. Score Ruined Regions - none

    5. Advance Threat Dials - Khorne has the most tokens and ticks twice; no one else met their criteria
    Khorne:
    31 - Draw 2 Cards
    32 - Draw 2 Cards

    6. Check for Game end - The game does not end

    Things that need to happen (feel free to go out of order):
    1. Khorne to choose a victim in Estalia
    2. Khorne to draw four cards (10 cards in hand, 4 left in deck after drawing)
    3. I'll reveal the next Old World card; Slaanesh to make any decisions
    4. Tzeentch may discard one card (6 in hand) before drawing back to 6 (deck will be shuffled after second draw)

    Round 6, Old World phase

    Dark Elf Corsairs
    Remove all Event tokens from the board and remove any Old World card bearing the Twin-tailed comet from the Old World track.
    Then, place one Event token in each of Estalia, Bretonnia, and Norsca.
    At the end of the battle phase, each player must remove one of his figures from each region where there is an Event token, if able.

    Black sails are spotted off the coast of Norsca and of Estalia; Road Wardens are discarded.


    citowg26r60.gif

    Round 6, Draw phase

    Khorne: Draw 3; 1 left in deck, 13 in hand
    Nurgle: Draw 2; 9 left in deck, 10 in hand
    Tzeentch: Draw 1; 1 left in deck, 6 in hand
    Slaanesh: Draw 2; 9 left in deck, 4 in hand

    Once he has drawn, Khorne may begin the Summoning phase for round 6

    Ah, such a beautiful stand-off in the endgame. Three regions stand to be ruined, yet each is corrupted exclusively by a different one of my brothers. Such hard decisions for each of you to make...do you meddle with my plans in a region that's not yours, which means that region will be ruined by your opponent, giving him the victory? or do you focus on protecting what's yours, leaving me to grab victory when I go after the other two?

    I'll start it off slow:
    Blood Frenzy to Estalia 8/8 pp
