Introduction |
I was coming into this tournament a little under the weather with cadets nothing new. |
|
Round 1 | | Steve Nelson | FW (+25) |
Steve was playing a affilation that I have never played in a tournament before so that was a cool thing to have experienced but some how a stopped all his cheaters to pass dilemmas.Thanks for the game Steve |

My game with Barry was crazy we both where going in backwords order of are missions was really cool to see on both sides of the table.Thanks for the game Barry |
This game was a bit bass-akwards. We Both went planet first (I couldn't get the skills for IAP, and I'm guessing he didn't have those for POM). I made a hardcore error early game, when I discarded away an extra ship. This made it impossible to make a round trip for the IAP skills, and my reluctance to lose a turns-worth of dilemma busting gave Henry time to get his last mission before I could.
Henry's father was Avenged in this one. |

Round 3 | | Jeremy Benedict | FL (-25)View opponent's ReportView original Report |
Jeremy was ready for cadets his dilemmas hit me hard but my casual did hit him which made him go get the enterprise-D for the little bonus.Thanks for the game Jeremy |
I see Henry put down missions for Cadets and know he's not only got a build that his family is well known for but also ample practice with. He doesn't have many Cadets at the start and ends up going planet first but breezing right through the first attempt (Dal'Rok was a card too early in the sequence and he had 18 counters worth of personnel to overcome it). I was able to counter by clearing my first mission in one attempt, but not without ending up with a Causal in my core. I knew my only option to not go four missions was to get the Enterprise-D that I put under with TAtV on my second turn (dang it), and forgot for a turn or two that the Tacking in my hand does exactly what I needed (was thinking of blowing up Enterprise-J instead but didn't really need to since Henry went for his smaller missions first). This game came down to the wire and Henry gave me no room for mistakes. He's already a force to be watched, and I think he's going to be one to beat at Regionals this year. |
