Steve Hartmann (chompers) Tournament Report - 1E - Kazon Collective Regional 2014-05-16 - 06:00 PM "I'd be very disappointed if you didn't find the major... intoxicating. After all, she is me... Or the next best thing to me." Introduction I should have tested this deck before the event. I Miss This Office was a poor seed choice and was not used in any game. Edit - I just reread the card and should have used it vs Ben - oh well Round 1 Andrew Walker FL (-40) When time was called I was ahead 60-55. Andrew had solved space and planet so had the advantage. I sent a large crew to solve Kressari Rendezvous. He stopped Quark (smuggling) and Kira (treachery) leaving me stranded without the skills to solve (I had 3 weapons to discard to get up to 100. Andrew went in next and ripped through two missions to take the full win. Tight game with my dilemmas buying me a few turns. Round 2 jws8888 FW (+100) James is primarily an attack wing player and enjoys the battle aspect of the game. We decided to build him a deck entirely focussed on battle in the hopes he can steal some wins with a lockout. Against me he had a staffed ship through the wormhole on turn 2 pretty much guaranteeing the win. At the last minute we realised he needed Science to get to the mirror quadrant which pretty much ended his quest to battle. Late game I sent a ship to Kressari to solve for the win. He had few personnel left alive after been eaten by the Horta but had enough to destroy my ship and all aboard it. Two turns later I had recovered and had the skills to solve my space mission and take the win. Round 3 Ben Wynn FW (+50) Ben worked out he could steal my gamma mission and got everything in place for a steal by turn 4 - way faster than my deck could get there. He sent the crew in, breezed through the dilemmas except for the last one - Friendly Fire (he forgot Quark only had Security if Odo present). He also lost 10 points from his own Edo Probe - woops! I managed to get the pieces in place to solve the mission before he could, but only by deploying a personnel aboard my ship through the Temporal Micro Wormhole to save some range. So I was up 40 to -10. Ben then got going again and strolled through some of my dilemma combos solve two planet missions. 40-60. I solve a planet mission by walking through Denevan (having four hand weapons in play). 70-60. Ben had to solve to win, he attempts space with a crew of 20ish personnel. He encounters Edo Probe and decides to continue, declaring that he has a 20 point differential advantage and is feeling safe. I am hoping The Higher the Fewer in under the mission as he may have enough personnel in his crew to lose those points. Turns out THTF is not under the mission, but Radioactive Garbage Scow is. He is attempting with a runabout so can't do anything about it. Next turn I solve and take the win. Fun game. Closing Thoughts Worked out better than expected. Close tournament decided by differential. Result would have been the same is using CVP.
