Brian Sykes (Armus) Tournament Report - 2E - Trek Masters 2020-10-19 - 12:00 AM War...Peace... whatever works Introduction I wanted something easy so I went with Klingons for the 2 mission win with battle support made cheap by Edith Keeler Round 1 Greg Hodgin FW (+50) Won by a turn thanks to blowing up his Unexpected Difficulties before micro-teaming his last mission. Round 2 Julius Melhardt ML (-15) Clock got me. Had it won next turn, but I held Julius to a 95-80 Mod Win Round 3 Jon Carter FL (-60)View opponent's ReportView original Report Good play by Carter and a bad dilemma draw at his last mission sunk me. Brian cannot find transporters for a while so he has to go away from space. His gomtu slows my ship down and I fear battle. (I had 4 people with the integrity to hit gomtu, just one dip short). Otherwise i get through plannets fairly quick. he shoots me for 40 points over the game I double wall his plannet to burry but keep him from solving. Next turn, I go for the planet i need to win. He timescapes for the first crew, so I take a bonus run at Bomar, he gets a bad draw. I use JLP to thward his best bet at SI. This lets me beat his chula. we play out the next turn. he solves the planet goes to space. i get the lucky random pick of Riker for Adopted authority. This gets me the stop I would have needed and another turn to try to beat if I had needed it. Round 4 Josef Lemberger FW (+100) Josef got a terrible draw and couldn't find a ship until turn 7. He did a reasonable job stopping me but I was too far ahead. Nuking his Hurried Departure was the finisher. Round 5 Benjamin Rostoker FW (+45) Close game. I went first and worked my way through my space mission before he was up and running. I caught a break at my planet when he threw Nothing to Lose against Gonik. I hit a Tozara'Kesh with Hip Oath, but then he makes a player move and Our Death's my Battle card... Killing Tozara'Kesh. I solve my 3rd mission taking me to 95, but then I overthrow at his planet mission, leaving it buried, so I need to draw a battle card on my last turn. I draw BaH! and he's out of counters, so I shoot his ship for the win. Closing Thoughts This deck wasn't perfect, but Edith Keeler is as good as advertised. Lots of potential there.
