I saw very few of the Toturi's Army  peeps from any booster that came near me, otherwise I would have grabbed them. Not to mention Lions, though I admit to grabbing two Matsu Goemons. That was the sum total of Toturi's Army or Lion that I could get from the Jade Boosters. (Editorial note: The draft also reflects the availability of resources as well as who the resources go to).

Report May 31st, 2006 from Joe

Minimum 30/30 with no recycling was introduced this week, resulting in some change of tactics. Players were also allowed to including one ring per week they had been in the league so that ring victories would be possible. Crane and Lion formed an alliance as did Crane and Unicorn. (Yes, Unicorn returned and Toturi's Army has taken a back seat). Crane promptly broke the alliance with Unicorn and attack them with their other ally, Lion. Toturi's Army was assisted by Yorotimo. (Just like Crane!). The multi-player games were popular with lots of interaction, both sides winning one game apiece. Brotherhood has finally gotten the five rings and is on it way to enlightenment. Lion and Crane formed an alliance and attacked Yoritomo and Unicorn. The results were non-decisive with each team winning one confrontation each. Unexpected allies turned the tide!. Lion then broke their alliance (presumably in frustration) and teamed up with the Brotherhood to attack Crane, who promptly teamed up with Unicorn. Thus far, only three rings have made it in play in one game. 

Report June 7th, 2006 from Joe

With the first storyline arc almost complete, my undefeated record was shot down by Ookami's Unicorns, as the Monks slowly progress toward enlightenment instead of military. The rematch, saw 4 rings come out.

Report August 4th, 2006 from Joe

With the addition of starters last week instead of boosters, all the deck have upgraded dramatically. This week, we have introduced the old style Imperial Favour. We haven't been uing the favour until now. (Arc 3, week 2).

Report August 9th, 2006 from Joe

Scorpion return and build their forces. Unicorn transforms into Toturi's Army. A second Lion faction springs from the Void and quickly establishes itself.

Report August 22nd, 2006 from Joe

The third arc has finished. We have added another Lion player. Naga wins the third arc, with Daniel taking tops honours, followed closely by Richard with Naga. Although Richard come in second, he had an impressive 100% win rate. 

Report August 29th, 2006 from Joe

We have just begun the forth story arc (Diamond). We are now using the wind favour. This will be the final arc in this league season. We will probably have a break before beginning another L5R league.

Report September 13th, 2006 from Joe

We have reached the stage where players decks are pretty much set. Drafting now usually has little effect. For this reason, and since week 4 will be the final week of the league, there will be no drafting on week 4.

Report September 19th, 2006 from Joe

Ookami has now played with his third different stronghold faction. The greatest number of any other player. He has played Unicorn, Toturi's Army and now Dragon!

All players are welcome to write their own 'accounts' of battle, treaties and glory.

For a history of how the wars went, this is a record of the standing after each weeks battles.
