Once upon a time there was a tournament in cold russian town named Ulyanovsk (really, google where it is 😁). I came here with two full keywords (Cadmus and Dua/Umbra) and some versatile models. Before each game, I tossed a coin in order to choose a master, because, to my taste, both masters were equally strong in all the schemes presented. I played five games and ended up in first place with 4 wins and one draw. I attach schemes and strategies, a photo of a great prize for this event.
First game I played against Bayou
.
My opponent's crew:
New Ophelia LaCroix Crew (Bayou)
Size: 50 - Pool: 6
Leader:
Ophelia LaCroix
Totem(s):

Young LaCroix 2
Young LaCroix 3
Hires:

Raphael LaCroix
Francois LaCroix
Gautraeux Bokor
Lucky Effigy

My opponent's schemes:
LTB, LYM
My crew:
New Nexus Crew (Explorer's Society)
Size: 50 - Pool: 4
Leader:
Nexus
Hidden Agenda
Totem(s):
Shambling Nest
Shambling Nest 2
Hires:
Archivist
Dr. Meredith Stanley
Mr. Ngaatoro
Intrepid Emissary
Winston Finnigan
My schemes :
LTB, LYM
I will not describe in detail what happened on the table, but I will say the following: during the placement, the opponent exposed Ophelia and the kins bubble under the blow of the Nexus totems, after which, for two turns, I ate his models with the help of the legion, threw phials from Meredith and by the time we reckoned he had Ophelia, effigey, totems dead, and the rest of the models were less than half health. I only lost Doctor Meredith. We counted, I opened LTM and strategy, my opponent revealed LYM and strategy. 2/2
Before the second game, I tossed a coin and Ivan fell out to me. Parker was put against me:
My opponent's crew:
New Parker Barrows Crew (Outcasts)
Size: 50 - Pool: 2
Leader:
Parker Barrows
Totem(s):

Hires:

English Ivan
Totem(s):
Mr. Mordrake
Hires:
Eva Havenhand
Gibson DeWalt
Corvis Rook
Intrepid Emissary
Winston Finnigan
My schemes :
Assasinate, BRTHR
I came across a not very
experienced outcast player and it was a complete rout. We played five turns and at the end of the fifth turn, my opponent ran out of models in the absence of losses on my part. We played 8/2, the opponent opened the first TP condition and got one point per strategy. Ivan counters Parker.
I will continue a bit later :)
