Kevin Jaeger (Hoss-Drone) Tournament Report - 1E - Andoria Regional 2014-06-01 - 12:00 PM We have bunny. Give us a million dollars. No funny stuff. Introduction Been a long time since I played complete constructed live. Went in with low expectations since 1: I know I'm rusty and not fully versed on 1e strategy. 2: Kris, James, Justin, Hayes are all solid 1e players with a lot more recent experience than me and 3: I had no idea if this deck had legs. in fact by the end of round 2 I already had 3 changes in mind for improvements should I roll it again. the premise is solid though. Round 1 Ben Johnson FW (+86) Ben had lots of cloaking romulan ships and used them to keep his outpost reports reliably safe. problem was that he had some early free reports to his HQ that got captured.....and then tortured. I did choose to brainwash pardek for the diplomacy and vip at guest quarters. Ben scored some points somehow idr but with torture ended the game @ +14 or so...can't remember. lots of people died though to kazon bomb and a personnel battle mid game. I switched to solving after that and somehow sent the exact right 4 people to clear the first mission, then I drive'd to fhb and had my mega team blow through to solve but lost 11ish points to thtf the drive'd back to the gq and mass attempted and solved there ftw. Round 2 Justin Kaufman FW (+100) Justin also played romulans but I got to go first which meant that Justin had 1 turn of playing people before they were captives who also got tortured. I built up and spent time looking menacing so I could pounce if needed but tracking who Justin played he never reached the 3 security or 2 diplo threshold so I let his people live. he found an apnex laying around Romulus and spent the rest of game between cloaked ships mostly. I switched to solving and ran into a personal duty which gave away the rest of the combo. omet'iklan and 3 security went the rest of the way to solve. then I drove to fhb and tripped the dead end. next turn drove to the gq and cleared out dig but couldn't solve since my physics was stopped. following turn I separated people and went back to the aq to harass Justin. I then solved my two missions over two turns to avoid in the zone ftw. Round 3 Kris Sonsteby FW (+74)View opponent's ReportView original Report I'll let Kris handle this one. I just remember spending lots of time chasing him around the spaceline with quantum slipstream drive and winning one large combat but he rebuilt fast and I had to start mission solving and was reminded of the other reason I love qsd - it soft counters Cytherians. I also remember kazon bomb goin off again for a large group of kills. Big Kev was administering Dominion, and benefited greatly from the distance between my three facilities. Despite weathering an early storm of capture and a pair of personnel battles, a second helping of Kazon Bomb slammed the door on my upset bid. FL 100-26. Round 4 Robert Petersen FW (+100) another game against someone I've never played before! yay! I went first and was able to slip the wormhole 11 span from his outpost with a dominion mission in between so my big turn 2 went off and I captured 4 people and killed the other 3, declared victory is life and rewarded my loyal jemmies with more ketracel white. Deyos hauled the prisoners back to terok nor and tortured them. the rest of the game was per normal script of harass and build up for solving. after I started mission solving Robert ventured out on runabout which lost orbital stability. my dominion battleship Swooped in and destroyed it with MAXIMUM FIREPOWER! couple of turns later Robert had a pair of ships get stopped the same way so the battleship and breen warship wandered over and destroyed the first with a photon torpedo then simply outgunned the other. rest of the game was me solving missions and Robert actually rescuing his outgunned captives. lol I riker faced when I had a 50/50 shot to capture roga danar and failed somewhere around turn 5.
