I See Blue... He Looks Glorious! |
Introduction |
As an intermission between Regionals season and the forthcoming Worlds weekend extravaganza, MN's finest turned back the clock for some hot 1E sealed action at the Extreme Rules PPV. Despite three returning champions, I somehow broke free to win my first 1E event in the CC era. |

Round 1 | | Justin Kaufman | FW (+39)View opponent's ReportView original Report |
Crimson drew first blood early at Test Propulsion Systems, then deftly dodged a Q-Net lock down with a Wormhole. Despite smashing into an Edo Probe at Repair Mission, I was able to power through 3 more missions while he struggled to find Diplomacy. FW 100-61. |
Kris and I both solved a 25 point mission early, however I was only able to solve one more mission before Kris was able to score the remaining 75 points. |

Round 2 | | Barry Windschitl | FW (+78)View opponent's ReportView original Report |
The Genius set me back significantly with a Time Travel Pod, Wormhole trip, and Q-Net, but squandered several turns digging for mission skills. Forced into plan E mode, I swiped two of his cleared out missions for the win thanks to Major Rakal becoming Romulan. FW 100-22. |
Even with a Time Travel Pod, wormholes, and Q-nets couldn't keep him from getting my cleard missions. I needed more mission skills in this one. |

Round 3 | | Zach Magnuson | FW (+70)View opponent's ReportView original Report |
Herr Oberth and I both seeded 6 space missions, though without a 3-way Treaty blocking my path I was able to steal his Pegasus Search. In a rapid fire encounter where most of our collective dilemmas were blanks, a well-placed Outpost Raid proved the difference. FW 100-30. |
Kris was also running all Space, so it was a matter of who found the bluffs first. A lucky Outpost raid on me, killed a ton of good skills and I was hard put to recover. He Kevin'd my Red Alert (after exploting it first) I flipped TLMBDH just because I could. But he passed his dilemmas for the steal of Pegasus for the win. |
