Alexander Schmitz (TyKajada) Tournament Report - 1E - Online Event 2016-10-07 - 12:00 AM Launch the Phoenix! Introduction Sorry this is a little short, I should have taken notes. Round 1 Pope FL (-100)View opponent's ReportView original Report 1. game Pope wins 100-0 quite entertaining game against another Fed, ended up stealing my Battle for sector 001. I remember his effective dilemmas. I didn't much done in this one... Round 1: Fed Flagship: Relaunched / Protect Historic Encounter One area I know that I could improve in my 1E play is not letting myself get so fixated on missions that I'm able to steal -- this has cost me tournament games in the past, and my determination to snatch victory in the Battle of Sector 001 definitely slowed me down tremendously in this game -- kind of a dick move on my part to steal a mission in round 1 that the mission becomes tournament legal, but it did make for an interesting game, to say the least. He'd parked Starbase 247 there, and with my Quantum Fissure as the final dilemma, I'd have to sneak it at just the right moment (when his Defiant & Enterprise weren't home). I was able to get Starship Excelsior there to block his solving it pretty early on, then just needed to wait for my moment. The Nexus complicated this, but thankfully broke the right way for me so as to clear out his ships for my turn and not the other way around, He was able to use Amargosa to make the Nexus take another pass across the spaceline again (I think it hit every mission twice except for the last one, so it was a long-standing irritant, fortunately I was able to dodge it by going back to Camp Khitomer a couple times). My dilemmas were surprisingly effective at preventing his Feds from getting much done, dead end, scow, Nexus, whale probe & QF locking him out of any solves. He was able to get the Phoenix launched for 10 points, but I was able to make use of his temporal vortex to send someone back in time and got Attack Authorization to blast the Phoenix, which was pretty amusing, I thought (he was annoyed as he'd opted not play Anjj on the prior turn). After eventually getting the timing right & stealing Battle for Sector 001 for 50 (Reunite Legends doesn't say it has to be *my* mission), depositing Soran in the Nexus, I quickly went from 0 to 70. I failed my first attempt at a planet mission, lacking the strength for Chula: The Dice, but was able to GTT for Mr Sisko on my turn to fool-proof the AT for the next turn for the FW. Round 2 Rem Boon FW (+36) 2. game 100-64 win against Rem Rem you have to help me out here and report what you played. I don't remember :( Sad enough the only game I won I don't recall. Round 3 Bruce Parrish FL (-20)View opponent's ReportView original Report 3. game Bruce wins 100-80 He used some new Starfleet stuff and was just faster. Still a close game, I think I would have gotten it next turn.. :) My game against Alexander was another game of Solitaire. Pure race to missions and Starfleet excels at that game especially again im going to say here The Warp 5 program, such a beautiful card. Closing Thoughts Kudos to the host, I like how the results are presented in the tournament thread, nice and orderly :)
