Johannes Klarhauser (Kaiser) Tournament Report - 1E - Online Event 2013-06-10 - 12:00 AM [OTF] Das Leben kommt auf alle Fälle aus einer Zelle... Introduction The ongoing mission to play every affiliation took me to the mirror quadrant this time. Resistance Cell for draws, Halkan Council and the Terran Hideout were my reports, MTD was supposed to take me to the Badlands and do some missions there. Round 1 Jason Cawker FW (+91)View opponent's ReportView original Report Jason should have won this game, on account of me being stupid and loading an incomplete version of the deck - it had an extra Q the Ref in the Tent instead of the Temporal Vortex that was supposed to be there, so I had actually no way to get my TOS guys to the spaceline. Jason let me use the wrong card as a proxy to keep the game going - super nice, thanks again, good sir! Jason had Tower of Commerce, a Trading Post and DS9. My three badlands missions separated one of his planet missions from the rest of the alpha quadrant, and were near the stealable Geological Survey. He went first, I downloaded General Quarters to slow him down. My opening was bad. Not a single Empire personnel, but two Espionages (that I want in the deck, not in hand). The only upside was that I had two Bajoran, so I reported one with BRC, and one to DS9, played a Hidden Fighter to grab an Interceptor, and headed towards DS9. Jason quickly set up Morn and a Dabo engine, and had Son of Keldar, Rom, the Trois, Dr. Arridor, Gozar the Gozarian and assorted other useful folks out soon. Eventually, he attempted Ferenginar, and was stopped by my Medical combo (scoring 5 points for the Plague Ship). Myself, I eventually moved my TOS people forward in time, then beamed over to the alpha quadrant. A Ferengi Ambush stopped me for a turn, but thanks to a Phaser and War Room, nobody died. The following turn, Goatee Spock got rid of two Clown dilemmas by himself, only to be stopped by Dead End. By now, my Interceptor was on its way back from DS9 (passing a D'kora Transport along the way - no weapons were fired), and I attempted with my Bajorans in space. I cleared Important Guests/Friendly Fire, then was stopped by Maglock. The next turn, I cleared it and scored 45 with mission specialists. As Jason was busy near the end of the spaceline, I took the opportunity and stole his Geological Survey - I sacrificed three guys and the Delta Flyer to the Land Eel/Flapjacks/God combo I had seeded there, then sent in the Resistance and Spock with his Tricorder to solve for 30 points. Meanwhile, Jason had assembled a new crew and attempted in space, got rid of Ankari Spirits thanks to Rom and the Dabo Girls, but was stopped by Personal Duty/Friendly Fire. On my turn, the Interceptor beamed up my remaining guys and, thanks to its RANGE-boost within the region, reached my planet mission where I now got through the Dead End to complete for the win. 110-9. Great game, looking forward to the next one! Kaiser and I had a fun game. Kaiser played a version of Ken Tufts Alliance/Baj deck, which worked quite well at getting personnel and equipment out. He put out a "General Quarters" early which slowed my deck down significantly. On top of that I ended up stuck on a Dilemma without enough Biology. I managed to take out some of his crew with DNV, and stopped on mission attempt with Ferengi Ambush, the whip saved my ferengi by taking out the ever strong Mr.Spock. I managed to score a few points from Dabo and one of Kaisers dilemmas. In the end, Kaiser pulled out a full win 110-9. Round 2 Matthew Ting FL (-35) Opening hand was ok with two Bajorans, a Kivas, and no cards that I could download. I decided to put my Badlands Region between Matthew's two outpost missions and tried to make the spaceline longer for him. We set up, and attempted around the same time. I got stopped in the MQ by a Founder Secret, Matthew lost some Medical equipment to my Med Combo and got stopped. I beat Founder Secret, lost some people to Firestorm, but got past In The Pale Moonlight with Evil Kirk and completed my HQ mission for 35 points. After some unsuccessful attempting in the alpha quadrant (Dead End under my planet there), I tried Mine Dilithium. Crisis stopped my once, then Denevan Neural Parasites wiped out six people, but the survivors knew how to deal with "God" and completed to put me on 65. Meanwhile, Matthew had cleared another planet (the (Un)Scientific Method combo was easy with the help of an ETU and K'chiQ) and was in the lead, 80-65. I had to do the hard part now, and attempted in space - Shaka stopped me, than Matthew donwnloaded a second Plasmadyne Relay (argh!), crossed the 13 Range that I though kept me safe for the moment, and destroyed my Delta Flyer in one shot. I couldn't draw into another Hidden Fighter, so I just took a chance and went with all my people aboard the Interceptor, only to hit Cytherians. I didn't have an STP out, so that ship got blown up as well. Matthew than lost 12 people to Kelvan/V'Ger, but had to wait another turn to complete his space mission. I Round 3 bunz FW (+100)
