End of Game Statements

Andy York:  Wow, first time I've played this in years (decades?) so I'm a bit surprised with edging out a win. Fortunately, I had two good race/ability combinations which helped.

Thanks to Chris for catching the errors in my rusty game play, and appreciate the skills of the other players in this well fought game.

Bill Scharf:  I sure was rusty playing this game, which I used to play quite a bit. For some reason, we seemed much less crowded than in games past, four players could fit quite comfortably on the board, while I remember fighting like mad to keep a space for myself in the old days. Still, a lot of fun, I’d like to try it again.

Kevin Wilson:  I got a little hemmed in with my Sorcerers so never got to take advantage of their special power. I had to put them into decline a bit early since I wasn’t gaining anything with them. Then, in the last turn, when a good roll (or two) may have helped my Berserk Ghouls I just didn’t get them. Nice close, fun game. Thanks to Chris for running the game and congrats to Andy on a tight victory.

Christopher Hunt:  I always enjoy this game.  Misplayed it kept my initial force concentrated to avid the sorcerer's power and on the back foot after that. Thanks to Chris for working out what I was doing and congtrulations to Andy on his win.
