Introduction
I played an all-[AU] deck that was a bit too big to get ASFSE reliably, but had a bit more redundance and was not as susceptible to the odd kill pile as the minimum version.

Round 1KlingonTNGDS9Andrey LarinFW (+45)
Triple HQ dilemma bypass! I was lucky Andrey never got his Dabo! (one of my favourite 2E cards ever) out, but once his setup was done, his multiple Field Studies and the downloaded Aggressive Solutions shortstacked Wormhole Negotiations for him. By the time he completed, I was already well on my way, and got to 100 before he could move his personnel to Deliver Ancient Artifact.

Round 2KlingonAuwerd BijkerFW (+100)
Auwerd played an intriguing point loss deck built around 3x Raise the Stakes. Thanks to my 10 points from the HQ, I was able to afford some losses, though, and with Archer and the other attribute bonuses, I was able to do my mission even after Auwerd had stopped a lot of guys.

Round 3DominionTyler FultzFW (+20)
Tyler's infiltration engine scored him 40 points, but he thanks to a D'vela I overcame a Whisper in the Dark at the right time and kept enough mission skills alive. Some losses to Sylvia and Unfair Terms were unavoidable, but in the end Tyler ran out of Cloak and Daggers / Founder Instigator and I was able to attempt without 500 infiltrators watching and doing their thing. Tyler had his space done (Reflections bought me two turns, but I never got a WNOHGB to go) and was on his way to completing Mine Vendarite for the win, but he couldn't get past a Rogue Borg Ambush with his Jem'Hadar. He had no deck left, so I did the dirty thing and drew my last seven card to win the cheap way.

Closing Thoughts
All-AU is fun to play and is actually somewhat competitive with Starfleet.
