Kris Sonsteby (LORE) Tournament Report - 2E - Andoria Regional 2016-05-21 - 10:00 AM One of Those Probably Added to the Lack of Sleep... Introduction Another Regional out in SD with Big Kev and his crew. Always a good time, win or lose. Round 1 Bye BY (0) Took the BYE as T.D. and used the time to refine my build. Round 2 Mark Muston FW (+35) The Basement was rocking Klingon / TNG, and was trying to ALC Bomb everyone. I won a nail biter after hitting him with Quantum Filament and killing K'Ehler, whom was his primary source of bonus points. FW 75-35. Round 3 Kevin Jaeger FL (-35)View opponent's ReportView original Report Big Kev was working Bajoran and knocked me back with a surprise Necessary Execution. Effectively a 1/2 turn behind the whole game as I went second, I lost when Dohlem avoided all the stops before an Antedian Assassins. FL 75-40. The Old Pro was playing...Bajorans with a lot, and I mean a lot of NA weenies so that he could reliably solve Risa for 40 points then run to space for the 35. I tracked his anthro and was able to kelvin the first guy, stop the second attempt and then on the third attempt draw Nec Ex to kill both in play which forced Kris to lose a turn just playing more, grabbing them and flying back to solve instead of being able to solve then move to space. That was what bought me the time I needed to squeak the win out. Kris still got to space first and put three under, then I did the same. Kris then had to macro team attempt. I stopped him but the mission was buried. So it all came down to whether I could solve my space on my turn. After some careful thought, I attempted with 10 and hoped Kris did not draw the 2 dilemmas he knew would stop me. He failed to find the Gorgon and Dressing down so I got my skills and attributes through to get the close win. Closing Thoughts Cool format. Not really a fan of the faction icon rule being irrelevant as that created wonky interactions, but I appreciate Kev's efforts to find a better alternative to ID Draft.
