I find Europe's lack of gamesmanship to be a good deal of their problems. They all race to find the broken deck. The path of least resistance.
Benjamin was testing klingon battle in preparation (and played it day 1of euros last year). If he didn't play it this time it's because sascha and Johannes were beating it in testing.

In general I think voyager has good answers to battle.

At worlds last year I played against two klingon battle decks and I beat them by ignoring the beatdown and just continuing with solving. I lost voyager once but between b'elanna and the e.c.h. bouncing with cluttering irrelevancies it was mostly irrelevant. Plus another flying HQ was just a download away.

Spot on analysis :thumbsup:
It's just not worthwhile doing. We've tried damage/destroy as well as just the plain All Out War/Ferocity/kill pile.
You get a couple of kills in the beginning, maybe even a bunch of 'em. But with all the new fancy 1-costers they just keep comin' until The Doctor, Emergency Medical Hologram shows up with one or two ETUs.
At that point the Klingons can basically pack up their shit and leave.

Maybe that's the reason Euro-Voy decks can compete with Klingon kill decks :wink:
Cuz they're quite common here...

Benjamin's Klingons were the reason I took 2x ETU + 3x E.C.H. + 2x B'Elanna to worlds last year.

I know, a little bit late, but i'm so tired after the weekend that I almost forgot to give you the REAL European Champion - in Tribbles of course - again a Stefan (we all should change our first names after this EC;-) - and again Austria has a double champion...Stefan Slaby !!!

I would like to say thank you to everyone who participated in preparing and organizing another great tournament in Vienna. I have been to many great places but Jazzland is very special and it is the place where I always gladly return. I would like to once again express our gratitude to Stefan and his girlfriend for letting us stay in his living room for two nights and who have always been great hosts. Once again thank you for everything.
Congratulations to Stefan and Stefan on winning their respected games. :thumbsup: Wish you both best of luck at worlds. Both of you have become legends and the best what Europe can offer.
And finally a story of the weekend. My friend - Jan Rohacek made an impress return after losing first two rounds during the day 1 of the 2E tournament, winning 5 games in row and taking the top spot. :thumbsup:

Vlad - I'd like to hear your thoughts on 5 space Voyager and the results from this tournament. Although you have played Voyager a lot in the past my suspicion is that if you thought there was a better deck you would have played it (and Jan would have as well). Am I correct?

Also - will we be seeing you at Worlds in London?
