Arkham Horror League: Metro WG off to a strong start

The NY Metro Wargamers Club team claimed its first victory in the FFG sponsored Arkham Horror League (see  http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/ah_league.html ). The scenario pit our 5 intrepid investigators against the horrid serpent god Yig and his vile worshippers. The team consisted of:

• Joe Diamond (Frank Griebel)
• Gloria Goldberg (Gaylord Tang)
  
• Vincent Lee (Peter Bless)
  
• Ashcan Pete (Sean Mannion)
  
• Harvey Walters (Tim Staines)
  
• Game Master / Coach (Mike Willner)
  

Despite the fact that some of us had not played in a long time, had only played once or twice, or were playing our first game, the team took control of the situation right from the start. Monsters were kept under control, gates closed at a regular pace, and encounters were well played. Every player got to contribute, and some even got the save the day, like when Joe Diamond managed to remove a Doom Token from the Doom Track during an encounter late in the game that gave two other players the time they needed to return from the other dimensions.

In the end the game was won by closing gates, and Yig never awoke from his slumber. The team racked up 23 points and moves onto Scenario 2, where they will face the dreaded Nyarathotep and his legion of masked acolytes. 

Anyone interested in joining the team is welcome, we can rotate players in and out of future games, and there are 9 more scenarios to play! Contact Mike Willner ( willner90@msn.com )
