So you guys can check them out, but I am thinking snooze fest
[http://wizkidsgames.com/star-trek-attack-wing-resistance-is-futile-storyline-organized-play-series/]
OP1 basically is get to middle duke it out in open space
OP2 bring 2 different fleets to duke it out in open space
OP3 your going to fight it out in open space on half the table because it is certain death and possible auto lose to go into borg space  Battle for Chin'taka was better than this.
The prize ships look cool, but the scenarios are the pits.

Never played any of the OPs (no local store running them) but yeah that looks very dull. Prizes are pretty good though.

Thought the same myself.
Really want the Avatar of Tomed, but otherwise I'd not be interested

An all out slugfest in open space is just dull in my opinion. Throw some asteroids or space junk out there. The last scenario would be great for that giant borg transwarp hub. WK is really cheaping out on the map elements for this one.
Some of us at my one venue have suggested abandoning mthe OP rules and playing place 4 asteroids and a planet instead. This might be the series we actually do it.

It seems to me that stores should set up a 'council' or have the store owner review what's coming from WK and house rule the crap out of it, both to retain some form of balance and to create a more interesting game.
In other news, I actually went and read up on the Avatar of Tomed's history, it's pleasing to see expanded universe vessels will be featuring in the game as this dramatically opens up doors for new ships from barely featured fleets in the tv series but also wow, what a terrible plot for a book... The fat fingers of Bill Shatner should be prevented from writing on a permanent basis.

Yeah, I'm not a fan this round, Basically OP1 will get dominated by Voyager Dreadnought Builds, OP2 will get dommed by Borg... And OP3 looks like a huge mess, but By god, I WANT THAT GREEN CUBE!!!

I'm also thinking it's blind obsessed. We're going to see mines - so Damar's going to be good - and thought maker, I'd wager, is going to be a must for 3.

I feel that if they didn't want to put much effort into map elements then they could have just made up some off the wall scenarios and reprinted some of the planets and debris they already have.

Hell, I'm still trying to get all the blind ships from the Collective, wish they would've just stuck with the same ones this time around. :/

I'm quite happy about these blind ships. So, even though I agree about the scenarios, I'll happily shoot at people in open air or in half the map or whatever.
