    I don't think the board updates have saved as this is missing recent moves...

    Yeah, not quite sure what happened there, but it's fixed now. Still good on your move, @Icerimp?

    I will cast Warp Portal to Estalia moving a Slaanesh cultist to The Badlands

    To do this I will discard The Blue Scribes

    Round 4, Summoning Phase

    game61state37.png

    Corsairs (remove a figure after battle at event) are still crusading, after all these years.

    Chaos effects:
    Troll Country: Glean (adjacent to all other regions)
    The Empire: Decay (+1 VP for N when others summon to or from) and Havoc (Warriors/Greater Daemons roll no battle dice and place corruption during battle phase)
    Bretonnia: Plague (card remains in slot if N places corruption) and Subtlety (Daemonettes and KoS place corruption)
    Tilea: Subtlety (Daemonettes and KoS place corruption)

    Khorne is resting; Slaanesh is active.

    He can do it due to the Under Empire upgrade.
    This means all areas with skaven tokens are considered adjecent for him! Its a good upgrade...

    I'm kind of curious as to whether that or the Council of Thirteen upgrade ends up being better in the long run. I guess this is the wrong thread for me to talk about it, though.

    Is it ok for me to change that, if nobody's taken another move yet? I don't know the policy on moves.

    Well, if it's ok to change it, go with this below. If not, that's fine, too.

    I had a feeling this game isn't going to be lasting that much longer. With all the Skaven tokens on the map I though it was a better idea.

    Hold up, Slaanesh's second move doesn't work, as he has no cultists remaining in The Border Princes. What would you like to do instead, @Icerimp?

    Here's the board before Slaanesh's move:

    I probably could've guessed that would be the move. Unless he says otherwise, I'll assume @The Bashar is keeping his move the same, so Tzeentch is active.

    Round 4, Battle Phase

    game61state39.png

    Corsairs (remove a figure after battle at event) are still crusading, after all these years.

    Chaos effects:
    Troll Country: Glean (adjacent to all other regions)
    The Empire: Decay (+1 VP for N when others summon to or from) and Havoc (Warriors/Greater Daemons roll no battle dice and place corruption during battle phase)
    Bretonnia: Plague (card remains in slot if N places corruption) and Subtlety (Daemonettes and KoS place corruption)
    Tilea: Subtlety (Daemonettes and KoS place corruption)

    Troll Country: 2 dice
    Kislev: 4 dice
    The Empire: HAVOC'd! - +1 corruption, +2 corruption DAC
    Bretonnia: 2 dice
    Estalia: 2 dice, 1 die
    Tilea: 2 dice, 1 die
    The Border Princes: 2 dice, 1 die

    Khorne is free to roll in all regions except The Border Princes. Once The Horned Rat rolls for Tilea, The Border Princes dice may then be rolled.

    At least I found this last round shocking. I'll explain after the game ends.

    It was fun to play. Hopefully I can get more games in. Looking back, I can see plenty of places I could have made better choices. Maybe Khorne will be very unlucky with rolling, though!

    Edit: Very, very, very unlucky.

    It was more you as kingmaker than me, since there really wasn't much I could do to affect things. I'm annoyed at myself for playing pretty poorly this game. Hopefully I'll do better next time!

    Players with more experience than me would probably be able to tell better, but I think you played the round as best as you could have, considering the circumstances.

    Wow, I got curb stomped this game. I'm sure I misplayed stuff but damn, I didn't even have a chance.

    Just need Khorne's roll in The Border Princes.

    Wow, I go to sleep and there has been a huge amount of activity...
    Looks like feeding Khorne cultists paid off on stopping Slaanesh dial.

    It was an incredibly long shot for me to tie or catch Tzeentch anyway. I needed nine hits.
    I think it may have been even more than this, I had it figured out like this...
    At the start of the Battle Phase we had six points between us, I was getting 18 that you weren't (Empire Ruination and Domination) so that was 24 points difference, so you needed 12 kills. I thought that was pretty unlikely. (Unless I'm missing something which is highly possible)

    I think you did exactly what you had to in the last turn as soon as the Havoc went down.

    I feel properly guilty about screwing you on turn one, sorry about that. I know that wasn't it for you but it didn't help.
