Introduction |
A fun tournament where everyone went for the Starfleet Block achievement :) |
|
Round 1 | | Roxanne Barbour | FW (+65)View opponent's ReportView original Report |
Against Roxanne we duped Romulus and Earth. We both quickly got our Raptor Ones out for extra card draws. I incorrectly thought that we weren't using OTF rules and stole a mission of Roxanne's that I shouldn't have :(
As things got going I was using my Raptor One to attack Roxanne's ships and causing her some issues. I solved my "Steal Technology" to get a Gold Pressed Latinum, then cleared earth before using Bribery to add a Ferengi Icon and attempt with Brunt for a 40 point completion. |
We duplicated Earth and Romulus.
I was using Raptor One as a card draw engine.
James stole "Automated Repair Mission", which turned out to be illegal.
I was stopped at "Control Plague" by Medical Crisis.
Final score: 100-5 (War Games) for James. |

Round 2 | | James Huckin | FW (+100) |
Against James we only duplicated Earth. I wasn't drawing an Out of Time so I special downloaded it with Daniels and then proceeded to be dumb and special download another card on the same turn, thus shuffling it back in.
James had some real bad luck on his draw and was in the past a lot longer than I. During one of my mission attempts Daniels got captured :(
I was able to complete Earh again using the Ferengi method, and I got some good battle in (both with Raptor One AND with a Starfleet ship in the past thanks to HQ: Defensive Measures) |

Round 3 | | Kenneth Tufts | FL (-100)View opponent's ReportView original Report |
Ken wan't playing with Earth, so we only duplicated Host Metaphasic Shield Test. Early on I drew Malcom Ried so I flipped my HQ: Defensive Measures and did battle with Ken's people in the past. Unfortunately I was having a bad time drawing and was only able to successfully battle two turns (by the third Ken had enough people with high strength in play that it would have been risky).
I got out and to attempting missions after that but Kens combos kicked the tar out of me :) I had cleared all the dilemmas from Save Stranded Crew, but could not complete it for the rest of the game due to a lack of Transporter skill. |
My Nemisis James, we only duped 1 mission!!! but I saw romulus and a seeded mercenary ship and started to worrie expectign mostly SF ro maby the odd Raptor one only I had neglected strait and steady in my deck I could get in trouble if he got staff out to that thing. We both had below average draws, after a few turns of getting people in play James the sneaky devil dropped Mr. Section 31 flipped a HQ: defensive mesured and started to fight in 22nd San Fran, he was winnign and I was losing people slowly, luckly he rapidly drew bad and could only safely battle me for 2 turns as i was still dropping 2 SF a turn and he was reduced to 1 slave girl a turn, archers 8str was the final straw that saved me untill it finished out it's count down. VERY cool tech.
So I got most fo the key stuf fi needed in play and ventured out on to the space line to start attempting, his dilemmas slowed me by Daniel L. with his SD of the columbia and a card play of the grappler to it on my next turn got past the scow a few turns of stall as Armus space stopped the wrong people for me, but I eventuly solved. James mean while came out to attempt as well he unfotunutly had no way to safely death with the Dalrok God combos this tiem i rembered to put a wall first to stop redshirting so he had a crew stranded slowly dieing off though no dilemmas left at apropreatly enough Save Stranded Crew ;) I continued to slowly work through his dilemmas as my second planet and after a side trip to pick up the Orians I had only 2 medical and 3 bio with a known med crisis under the mission BUT one of the med was Danica and shes a nurse,, one fo those last minuet cards I added to the deck so i attempted and it was 50/50 lucky fro me he hit the universal med/sci/bio guy and i passed the dilemma and solved the mission. Some time around here James was able to save the last few of his crew members but I had managed to kill all his Transporter Skill, and he was havign bad luck drawing in to any more. James also got the mercenary ship staffed up with a FERNEGI! and Silik and it and raptor one started hunting my ship the raptor had already finished off the Columbia. As I decided to spend an extra turn adn fly to the far end not freeing my slaves, it had 4 in sted of 3 dillemas, he was following me at a distance. and his main crew triped another dalrok combo loseing some people. I went to the Augment mission knowign i could use SD of otu of time to posibel break bad dilemmas and BOY was i glad i did as Distraced + God would have been horrable as armus had previously killed archer one of 2 base 8 int humans in my deck as I way flying there I had cycled my deck with iso mag though, and started drawing lookign fro archer. I needed to use the out of tiem trick because that combo was there, and i drew in to archer the very next turn useing TMW to drop him directly to my ship and pass the god while distracted thanks to Puppy Power 1 turn before his ships would have caught up taking my ship out causing me possible major problems, solving my mission for the win 100-0 though he had 2 missions one bare one with only a dead end left and I was going to be stranded so the score was not close but the game could have swung the other way purty fast had it not ended just then. |

Closing Thoughts |
Playing Starfleet Block against other Starfleet block decks is fun. It put us all on a fairly even footing and made for interesting games. |
