We had 11 players show up for round 5, one short of the number needed to divide the table into two. This meant we started late and finished later too, but I think a good time was had by all. The kills were shared around this time with Eddie C getting 3, Anthony H and Jay N each getting 2, and 1 each to Alexis A, Leanne J, Jay N,  and Keith D. Several players also took the melee deck challenge, of these Anthony H did the best.

Here are the standings following round 5:
