jason bales (jbales1974) Tournament Report - 2E - Qo'noS Regional 2013-04-13 - 02:00 PM Voyager Introduction DAMN YOU ARCHER!!!!!! Round 1 Jason Beyer FL (-100)View opponent's ReportView original Report basically got steamrolled! damn Archer!! This was my first match against Jason. I got off to a fierce start. Archer was the savior in this deck. After two consecutive turns of AWC, I had a "two turn" advantage in plays and draws. I completed Eliminate Sphere Network on the first attempt on turn 4(?) because Jason through some non-skill random selectors. That was an immediate 50-0 as he had yet to complete Caretaker's Array. I then motored over to complete my next two missions quickly. The skills were there to overcome the dilemmas, and Jason also used some non-skill random selectors again. I think I know what Jason will be putting together for his next tournament... Round 2 Erin Linscott  MW (+1) scrapped by with a mod win had a planet and space done she had 3 space done giving her more points but gave me the mod win Round 3 Joshua Sprung MW (+80)View opponent's ReportView original Report did pretty good First two games went well with luck… so it only makes sense that this game would go so poorly. Took me a while to get a ship, even with extra draws and voyages. Against more federation, I had more trouble with stopping Jason AND had bad luck on drawing dilemmas to boot (even with unexpected difficulties being used twice). I scored all my points with Getting Under Your Skin… yay. I think I had a good chance at beating Jason… but with luck that bad I wasn't going to beat anyone anytime. But having said that, luck doesn't come into play too much in Star Trek - and it's one of the things I find most enjoyable about this game. Luck makes the games fun and 9/10 games is not the deciding factor in determining the winner. Jason played very well and easily took the victory. I think it would have been hard to beat him even if luck had gone my way. Round 4 Joel Skon FL (-20)View opponent's ReportView original Report was able to get a couple missions done despite having been giving changeling Bashir. Dominion rolled right thru my dilemnas due to savior ODO,Remata'Klan, and Arak'Taral. Jason was doomed the moment I gave him Bashir founder and beamed Kahn and Krajensy down onto his only planet. His core was full of events and just about everyone had engineer so I was able to lock him out with zero hour and or clown bitter med, its pretty tough when half your people are -3 and the other are -5 and there is a limited welcome on the mission.
