William Hoskin (Gumbo) Tournament Report - 2E - European Continentals Day One 2012-07-21 - 10:00 AM Euro Fleet Introduction SF Nathan Samuels but not all non humans there are half a dozen humans as back up. Round 1 Earned Bye EB (+100) walked to the shop and got some water which was very much needed. Round 2 Sebastian Kirstein FL (-15) Sebastian attempted Asses Contamination with Donatra so I was struggling to play any of my usual dilemmas. buy the time i was out and going Sebastian was out in front and got the Win. Round 3 Auwerd Bijker FW (+65) Auwerd was playing a version of Tylers Ferengi so I knew I was in trouble if he could get all his pieces into play and could bust through my dilemma pile. I managed to get enough people out and attempting to give me a good lead before most of the pieces were in play but Auwerd didn't wait for the last piece to get going. I was able to get rid of Reyga with out his past icon for Ulis to get him back. I snuck through for the win. Round 4 Johannes Klarhauser FL (-25)View opponent's ReportView original Report I sat down against Johannes and knew I was in trouble my dilemma pile is poor, the only hope I had was to out speed my opponents and Johannes was going to be just as fast if not faster. I was right my dilemmas failed me in the end and Johannes gets the full win. Mirror match. Will also had a Starfleet build, though he went with Deliver Ancient Artifact as his second planet mission, which meant he was running some Macos for the skills, which probably slowed him down a bit in comparison to my build. It was a very close game for the entire duration, and when time was called and it was my last turn, we were on a true tie. I managed to get my third mission done in overtime for the full win. Round 5 Nicholas Yankovec FL (-30) Nick and I had playtested these two decks against each other so we both knew this was going to be close but Nick got the good start and mine was only average, Nick got the personnel advantage and started blasting through my dilemmas whilst I was still getting Samuels into play. when I did, Weyoun surfaced to put him under but the next one was close behind and it was close but Nick won by 1 turn. Round 6 Tjark Ott ML (-20) Tjark was playing an interesting Revised Chuckles Ranya Kapec deck that could ignore stops and kills but took forever doing the seven shuffle. Had there been some more time then I think Tjark would have had the full win but we will never know. Round 7 Nickolay Korotya FW (+100) SF threw 15 people into play fairly quickly and were out double teaming away alowwing me to play an extra dilemma or two with out any fear of being caught. Closing Thoughts Always nice playing against new people unfortunately I only managed to play against 1 in this tournament.
