Michael Van Breemen (The Ninja Scot) Tournament Report - 2E - Online Event 2014-03-31 - 12:30 AM VCard Introduction Do not build a deck in under 30 minutes. Round 1 Matthew Zinno ML (-30)View opponent's ReportView original Report I couldn't keep a ship, using Dukat to blow up his Sight for Sore Eyes and Watch Dog. I eventually got out after he had eventually solved two missions. I solved Cardassia IV and, had I realized that we were going to time, I would've gone to Dyson Sphere instead which, based on the dilemmas I had received, I would've solved. Mental note - for future, keep a chess clock. TNS played Cardassian capture. The Defiant was in my opening hand, and once I had 6 people I sent it in a bluff attempt against my space mission, though I hadn't played the mission skill of Security. Michael suspected it was a bluff, and agonized for a while, finally deciding on 0 dilemmas. He then punished me by playing Ensnared for Trip (no longer at the HQ), and then using Dukat to destroy my Watch Dog with a few interrupts on it. After that, I got lucky many times throughout the game, such as revealing no personnel when he played Evek, picking both Kelby and Forrest for Overburdened, and drawing Necessary Execution on both of Michael's first two planet mission attempts. He took a long time before playing a ship, and I still took a long time getting Security, so I started on a planet mission instead, getting a few dilemmas under it. Right after that I drew Security as well as my magic shuttle, and went back to my space mission. On its first attempt, it got "damaged" by Gomtuu, and I discovered I didn't care. Michael finally played a ship and went after his planet mission, but I was able to stop him several times, just as he stopped me at my space. Eventually we both had 4 under, and I attempted with 6 and got no dilemmas and solved. In the same turn, I flew home With the magic shuttle and then to the planet mission I had tried earlier, and solved that too. I tried a third mission but got stopped just about at time. He solved his planet (I drew 2 and couldn't afford either of them), then went for Kressari. I burned two copies of Unexpected Difficulties to cycle through my dilemmas, looking for something that would impede his megateam even through the Central Command interrupt I knew he would have. So no "stop everyone" dilemmas, even the otherwise attractive Intimidation; instead I went for 3 dilemmas which would each stop a few. Fortunately for me my gamble paid off, and he played his Central Command on the second one, then losing two people to Chandra. He ended, and we were done, two missions to one. Round 2 Kevin Jaeger FL (-100) Bajoran micro-teaming stuff. I didn't get a ship and he had all the players in place to get through his three missions for the win. Round 3 Tyler Fultz FL (-55) He captured a lot more people than I did, including Evek the turn before I could play mine. I solved Dyson Sphere in one attempt, cheating around Tsi Infection but lost a bunch of bodies at Cardassia IV. Closing Thoughts On the good side, got the Full Set achievement so that's nice...
