Arkham Horror League: Masquerade Ball
The NY Metro Wargamers Club's intrepid investigators managed a difficult win against the insidious and numerous followers of dread Nyarathotep in the latest round of the Arkham Horror league.

The scenario was "The Masquerade Ball"; several special rules made the Arkham city streets virtually uncontrollable, with maniacs, cultists and Mask monsters automatically causing Sanity loss, mistrust and fear making the acquisition of allies and trading deals difficult or impossible. The prospects for our heros looked grim in the first several turns, and the Mythos events conspired to create a perilous environment. One memorable moment was when Ashcan Pete sacrificed his faithful canine sidekick Duke to an evil forest of animated trees to save himself... for shame!
Finally the ancient one awoke and, thanks to a bit of intelligent preparation, was quickly blown to bits; in barely 4 rounds the team had defeated Nyarlathotep and won the game. However, in the process Ashcan Pete was devoured (hey, what goes around comes around!), and will need to be replaced in the next scenario. Due to Pete's loss, and the trophies and other goodies lost with him the team scored a pretty meager 12 points. No matter, next round we add in the Dunwich Horror expansion and face Tsathoggua.
This round the players were:
Joe Diamond (Bernard Rauch)
Gloria Goldberg (Gaylord Tang)
Vincent Lee (Rotating)
Ashcan Pete (Sean Mannion)
Harvey Walters (Mike Willner)
Please let Mike Willner know if you'd like to participate. The same team of investigators must play each round, but the players can change. So, we can always use extra players to be sure we cover the game. Contact willner90@msn.com.
