If he doesn't leap to Bretonnia, you'll be 1 VP short at 49 to my 50. Way to give me a heart attack, though. :P
Damn, are you sure, i could have sworn i was at 51....damn damn damn...

Yep. I guess not getting that hit in Norsca actually did cost you the game. Would've been a VP tie at 50 with you winning on the threat tiebreaker. It's funny, I never even factored that possibility in to the many endgame scenarios I ran. Sorry dude, that's just the way the dice go sometimes. Believe me, I know.
Edit: Oh right, now I remember. I was just so sure that Plaguebearer would survive the battle in TC.

Yea, i knew it hinged on that. And i figured the same thing you did. But when Korne took him out, i knew i was in the running.

Actually, rethinking it again, I had already decided that I'd kill that TC Plaguebearer if I got a hit and didn't need to kill an Acolyte, but I was sure HR would take second in Bretonnia so it wouldn't matter. So I guess by "did cost you the game," I mean "might've cost you the game based on HR's decision." :P

Wait...what? I thought you said you'd win regardless of his decision?

Yes, now. But not if you'd scored a hit two hits in Norsca.
Forgive me, i guess i don't know why norsca is in question. When i said that, i had forgotten the dark elves. Are we tied there? I thought i took second by myself...

Second is yours alone, but you needed two hits to dominate.
Could I get an official post-battle board?
I'm at work & can't dig into all the possibilities but I know people want my decision, I think, if it still matters.
Solid play all around, good game people and nice win Slaanesh . One lousy dice roll in the end... Guess the Warrior upgrade was the way to go after all, eh :P ?

Just realized I missed a couple minor things on my unofficial update for the HR earlier. I forgot I killed that Bloodsworn in Kislev, and HR should've been given a chance to add another Clan Rat from his upgrade when he leaped. Neither one actually matters, but I'll hold off on accepting any congratulations just yet until SeGaTai finishes wrapping things up in case I missed anything else.
3. Resolve Old World cards - Skavengers - In the end phase when Old World cards are resolved, the player with the smallest Threat score places one Skaven token in any region where there is at least one Warpstone token, unless there are no Warpstone tokens in play. Not going to matter
Dark Elves already claimed there victims
4. Score Ruined Regions -Norsca:+7, +3,
Troll Country:+8, +4
Bretonnia:+10, +5
5. Advance Threat Dials - Khorne has the most DAC and ticks twice, all others tick once-no VP awarded with dial ticks so again not going to matter
6.Check for Game End-The game has ended with a VP win by Slaanesh
The extra rat from skittering wont effect anything, feel free to check the math though. My thanks to everyone for playing, was an enjoyable pace from everyone, makes it more interesting for me to host.
Added props to Nurgle for completing his quest-burned a little too bright, and Khorne for refusing to pick the bloodletter upgrade which I currently believe breaks the balance of the game

Wow, this one was crazy tough. They say that in games where all the players are of equal skill, it comes down to chance, and this one really did come down to coin flips that just happened to land in my favor.
Oh, and susan, I'm still not sure the Daemonette upgrade was the right choice. With the Peace in effect, I had hoped to drop Daemonic Subtlety in The Empire and steal 3 cultists to dominate and possibly even steal 1st place there, but then the Electors turned into Dark Elves and blew everything to hell. It's possible the KoS might've screwed me by bringing more attention on me, but I think in the end it might've been worth more points. Although you were right; the Daemonettes are a ton of fun.
Thanks all for the great game, I'm really looking forward to playing with all of you again! And thanks so much to SeGaTai for hosting - I hope I didn't meddle too much.
