End of Game Statements
Chris Geggus (Swarmlings): A fair spread of points, but well done to Martin as the clear winner. I never seem able to get a plan up and running in these games, so usually end up scraping the odd point wherever I can get it. One day maybe? Thanks to Chris once again.
Kevin Wilson (Auren): Congrats to
Martin on a runaway win. He was off to a strong start getting
that stronghold on turn 1 and never looked back. The rest of us
chased him the remainder of the game, without much hope or
chance. It became a race for 2nd and I came up just short.
My focus on the town/city and cult tracks just couldn’t close the gap
to him but almost closed it to Geggs. Maybe next time.
Thanks to Chris for running the game, as always well done and loads of
fun.
