That is probably one of my favorite games a Malifaux ever! I clearly remember most of it even a year later.
The dog killing can be explained as such: The scheme card said that the viks would get 2 vp if the first two models to die belonged to the opponent, one of us(Gruesom and I) was nominated as the opponent. Then on turn 1 activation 5 or 6 we used Sebastian to Bloody Harvest the dogs being sure to resolve the damage first against the one of us who'se dogs were not nominated for first blood; thus breaking the scheme. I felt kind of dirty doing it but some whiskey chased the nasty taste out of my mouth and we were happy to share some with our frenemies across the table :-) Then you got sword vik over the hill and into choppy choppy mode against dead rider, a rogue necro, and I think Izamu. We were lucky to escape that situation. You got one thing wrong though Gruesome, we won that event by the thickness of a bottle label.
Sorry I couldn't make it this year, turns out I'm dumb.
