Johannes Klarhauser (Kaiser) Tournament Report - 1E - Online Event 2013-05-06 - 12:00 AM [Block] Sela Vie Introduction Block tournament. I decided to run with TNG Romulans, since that was the one TNG faction I hadn't played yet. Let's See What's Out There as additional draw engine, Romulan Underground/Office of the Proconsul as play engines. Round 1 Matt Kirk FL (-30) My ships got blown up by Matt's fleet, but I was still in the game and made decent progress at my missions. In the end I gave away the win when I missed a Biology that Kamala could have copied to get past the Medical Crisis that blocked my third mission. Not to take anything away from Matt, though, he totally deserved to win. Round 2 William Hoskin FL (-60)View opponent's ReportView original Report With three shared missions and a bad spaceline layout for me (I need to improve this part of my 1E game A LOT), attempting / getting rid of dilemmas was a pain. Even though I got Friendly Fire to hit, and Linguistic Thingie with a countdown of four, I couldn't get the right people to the right missions at the right time. At three missions I cleared most of the dilemmas, only to see Will score two of them when I was skill short. With his never-ending supply of D'Lors, he always had enough Diplomacy to deal with Gomtuu or A Good Day to Lie, and he also killed some of my people with his Evil Data and Lore and managed to take out a key skill with them. Good game as always. I managed to get out ahead of Johannes and he seemed to be a turn behind all the time, some of my dilemma combos actually worked for once and I got a few extra people out for free. Round 3 Stuart Marsh FW (+100) I had probably the best starting hand of all games so far, with the Mercenary Ship out on turn 1, and a steady supply of personnel for all the different play engines. I managed to dodge a hunter probe early and so was able to keep important people alive, and in the end I had enough personnel to afford to have cannon fodder crews to work at two missions while keeping my solvers out of harm's way. Good game! Round 4 Chris Morse FW (+100) Chris played Klingons with Officer Exchange Programme and a splash of Rogue Borg. I attempted early - too early, as I hit Dal'rok straight away and lost two personnel to it. I camped at Chris' nearest mission to get card draws from Let's See What's Out There, and thanks to my turn 1 Romulan Underground I had most of my deck in play by the time the game ended. I decimated the Klingons with Armus dilemmas on the planets (Fun stuff: Kahless made the first Armus: Roulette fizzle ; the next Roulette killed K'eyhler and Worf), and Friendly Fire / Medical Crisis stopped them until I was through my missions. It was very close, though, as I had lost two of my Honor personnel early and couldn't get the 10 bonus points from Romulan Undergroung, so when I was hit by point-loss dilemmas twice, I feared I had to do four missions. Thanks to the mission specialists, I managed to hit 100 exactly, though. Closing Thoughts Now that I've tested the 1E waters with Feds, Klingons, Ferengi and Romulan TNG decks, it's time to move on to the affiliations that don't exist in 2E - Hirogen, Kazon, Vidiians, Alliance and Empire. No idea how they play without CM draws available, I guess I'll be in for some rude awakening...
