Johannes Klarhauser (Kaiser) Tournament Report - 2E - Online Event (Return to Farpoint) 2014-07-07 - 12:00 AM Ingeborg Introduction Time machine borg. Round 1 Andrey Gusev FL (-70) Forgot to write some notes after the game; I think it was Cardassians all intelligence missions and a healthy amount of cheating going on. I do remember that I couldn't find a Sphere 634 and had to waste two turns flying around for reinforcements. Round 2 Chris A. Mead FW (+30)View opponent's ReportView original Report After two good stops with filter/Hard Time/Gomtuu and another Gomtuu, Chris cheated through a D&W with Explicit Orders and repeated the trick on his planet mission to take the lead, 70-0. With some rarely seen dilemmas (Flim Flam, Quaint Technology), Chris nicely stopped my Locutus-less Borg twice. I then made the biggest blunder in a long while: trying to Queen-Swap my Anthropology-sharing drone in for the final dilemma and the mission, I interlinked away my entire deck, only to realize I had already played the drone but left it at the HQ. So, with no deck left, and therefore no way to Obs-drone back my key cards (all copies of Locutus, Ascertain, The First of Many...), I was stuck at 11 guys left in play and six cards in hand. A single Secret ID would likely have locked me out at this point. As it was, I attempted space with 11, where running into Exposed Power Relay actually worked in my favour - Queen-swapping in the Reclamation Drone, I was able to put two cards on top of my deck (Locutus, Ascertain), then completed the mission. After a four-card combo to stop Chris at his last mission, I then sent my 9 guys to the planet. Chris gave me Quaint Technology again, knowing I wouldn't be able to interlink for the missing Anthropology with no deck left. However, I Queen-swapped in Seven of Nine, then Ascertained the Cunning option of the dilemma and stole the win. Great game! This was a very fun game. Johannes was also playing Borg, but a lot of his Borg tricks never saw play because he milled himself out trying to find a source of Anthropology against an early Quaint Technology. Given that I got out to an early lead, Johannes came back marvelously; his dilemmas caused real problems for me, as I had trouble finding sources of Diplomacy and Gomtuu Shockwave kept stopping me. Ultimately it came down to a final turn; he had the dilemmas to stop me, and I did not have the ones to stop him. A great game! Round 3 Michael Van Breemen FL (-10)View opponent's ReportView original Report So much fun! We duplicated all our missions. I attempted first, was stopped, then Michael flew over and abducted my Queen and went on to use her for dilemma busting with K&E and some swapping. Michael decided to let me have the last mission rather than try to stop me but running the risk of giving me Locutus points. Borg vs Borg, one with the Queen and one without. Queen was just too funny so I went over and Abducted her. From there it made solving my missions that much easier, getting the win thanks to Knowledge and Experience. Closing Thoughts I realized after my last game that I only had 2 copies of Ascertain in there.
