Cardassia Regional Winston Draft |
Introduction |
ALWAYS DRAFT FOR THE 1 SPAN HQ!
Also, Jem'hadar. Seriously.
And pulling both the treachery Sisko and Confessions in the Pale Moonlight was SWEET! |
|
Round 1 | | Ace Matteson | FW (+70) |
Avery and I took our time, as I walked her through using Lackey. She did great, but got a little ship-screwed. I should have been more forceful in suggesting that she use the first-turn ship download.
I had Keevan out first turn, and was sharing the drawing love. I got lots of Jemmies out early. I think I solved Penetrate Enemy Lines on my 2nd attempt. I know I then went to |

Round 2 | | Benjamin Rostoker | FW (+70) |
Ben and I had some problems with getting kicked from Lackey after he started his first turn. We tried re-loading the saved game a couple of times and one or both of us would crash. We decided to start a totally new game. Apparently, his original opening hand was god-like and his second opening hand was not as good.
I had Keevan, Jemmies and Sisko out early, and was rolling through missions as fast as possible. Confessions Sisko confessed to needing science, which kept me from being stopped by Unknown Microorganism, which I think won me the game. |

Round 3 | | Michael Van Breemen | FW (+35) |
Michael had a rough early game, drawing into all his ships and support personnel. I had lots of Jemmies out early again and started on Penetrate Enemy Lines as soon as I had a ship (forgot to download in the first turn, again). Michael one-stopped me on my first two attempts. The dude is a monster - drafting Counterinsurgency Program and tracking me successfully! I think I got through on my third attempt and then jumped to DS9 to pick up Sisko and a hologram and then onto Vandros IV. My first attempted he got me with Telepathic Deception, so all stop and none under. After that, it was the multi-crew slog for a couple of turns. While I did that, he completed his planet and started on space. I managed to slow him down long enough to win. |

Closing Thoughts |
Soooo much fun! The Winston draft was a very cool variant on the standard IDIC draft. It's very suited to online drafting. I could see doing it with Lackey in the future. |
