Nicholas Yankovec (nickyank) Tournament Report - 2E 2012-08-05 - 01:30 PM Klingon datryswr gyfer NACC bencampwriaeth Introduction Return of my Klingon deck, with all-new, all-different dilemma pile! Well, not that new, as I'd used it with previous decks, but hey. Round 1 William Hoskin FW (+55)View opponent's ReportView original Report Luckily for me, my dilemma pile was pretty much an anti-Starfleet pile. I remember capturing Archer on Will's first mission attempt, and he never managed to get him back. With Kruge and an engagement in my core, the Future Enterprise was taking refuge at Earth, and while I could have captured the Damaged Enterprise, thought it wasn't worth the time wasted. Will's dilemas didn't slow me down too much and it ended being a comfortable win for me. Thanks Riker! This was the game that I wished I had some events out 8 costers costing 8 just doesn't work against Klingons. My deck is working ok but Archer gets captured and then unfair comparison ruins me on a few occasions. I finally get the Maco out to rescue Archer and realise that I don;t have enough SF cards in hand to use him. Nick flies through my last combo of Urgency, Entanglement, Whisper in the dark and the mission for a convincing FW. FL 45-100 Round 2 mark radford FW (+75) Mark was playing his Borg deck again, but couldn't get out his No Win Situations in time - I managed to Tacking the one he did get out, and muscled through his dilemmas for the full win. Round 3 Unjustly Banned FW (+65)View opponent's ReportView original Report James and TOS... we were both playing Unfair Comparisson, and at the first mission I passed this with my dilemmas costing more. At my 2nd mission attempt, I had 9 personnel in play, but for some reason my gut told me to leave Riker on the ship, and attempt with 8 Klingons, which I did and hit Intimidation, which allowed me to play Bridge Officer's Test, and with multiple skills at Rescue Prisoners I got my 2nd mission. James first atempt at a space mission didn't go to well for me - he completed on his first atempt, but after that my dilemma pile worked as I hoped, giving me the full win. Near the end, his Enterprise was unstaffed, and I was set to play an Engagement, capturing his only ship in play before I realised that I didn't have Kruge in play! That would have been sweet :) Nick was playing dirty Klingons coupled with an Unfair Comparison dilemma pile. I too was playing Unfair Comparison, but we didn't find out until Nick made the first attempt. Naturally, I played the dilemma, but Nick's three dilemmas cost more, so none were stopped. Fortunately, I'd backed my dilemma up with Overwhelmed and then Whisper in the Dark. Even so, Nick completed the mission, thanks to stacking a lot of skills on Will Riker so only two were stopped by Overwhelmed. On my turn, I played Coordinated Counterattack (one turn too late - doh!) and then I made my own attempt. Thanks to Nick's poor draw (so he says), he was unable to stop enough personnel before Where No Man Has Gone Before, and I completed my mission too. From that point, things went downhill again. Nick walked through his missions, while I took a bit of a beating at The Last Outpost (I didn't bother with Aid Legendary Civilization as I thought I'd come off worse if I put 12 points worth of personnel beneath my deck). At Brute force, Nick used Relentless to prevent a stop and complete the mission for the win. As we'd finished so quickly, we continued "playing". If Nick had not played Relentless (or if I'd had Sisko in play to prevent it), I'd have gotten half way through my third mission before Nick would have won. Thanks to a couple of McCoy dilemma retrievals, and Shran dilemma retrievals, it would have been a much tighter game (If wishes were horses... Probably.) FL 35-100
