So I my local store had our Matter of Honor yesterday. We had a 4 person turn out, so not terrible. I flew:
32 Battle Cruiser
06 Picard 9
03 Glin Daro
04 Cloaked Mines
32 Battle Cruiser
05 Gul Dukat
03 Jennifer Sisko
04 Cloaked Mines
28 USS Enterprise D
03 Miles O'Brien (MU)
The basic idea was to have some big hull, non borg, ships and repair damage from the space bacteria.
Round 1 was against
IKS Negvar
Martok 9
Negvar class
Picard 8
Regent's Flagship
Indy Flagship (scan)
Gorn Commander
Mr Spock
Jennifer Sisko disabled Spock. My opponent had some bad luck on the bacteria rolls, each ship took damage turn 1. He was also very unlucky with the are olls for clearing the bacteria. My Enterprise took damage, but O'Brien took care of it. I flew up the middle, he sent his massive 8 hull
flagship against me and tried to flank me with the other 2. The cloaked mines stalled him. I was able to focus fire on thr flagship and take it out turn 3 or 4. O'Brien flew between the Klingons to break them up. Picard and Martok widdled away Dukat, but Picard and O'Brien finished off the Klingons turn 5 or 6.
W 1-0
As I thought klingon ships were ill suited for this scenario, too few shields. It took very little to take out my opponent's IKS Negvar because it had taken 4 damage from the bacteria. My opponent did do anything wrong, but he had some awful rolls that extra shields could have compensated for.
Round 2
Excelsior
Picard 9
4 shot photons
Exceldior
Spock
4 shot photons
Fighter Squadron 6
Coordinated Attack
Fed Fighters
Coordinated Attack
High Yield Photons
This list actually worried me because I had virtually no defense dice and he had high quality torpedoes plus fighters.
Jennifer Sisko disabled Fighter squad 6's coordinated attack. I have no shame in the fact that I took this one slow and steady. I did 3 turns of 1 straights to keep keep bacteria down. My opponent tried to keep his big ships close to the fighters, he had one unfortunate bump that wrecked his plan and kept his ships infected. Turn 4 I dropped my mines. His fighters had taken a beating from the bacteria, squad 6 was down to 2 tokens and the other had 2 also. He didn't want to risk the mines so he broke his formation. The fighters veered to left and right, the Excelsiors backed up out of my range. I gunned it doing 4s. Picard and O'Brein destroyed the generic fighters, Dukat took squad 6 down to 1 token. Turn 5 his Picard and Spock ganged up on Dukat. My Picard and Dukat destroyed his Picard. O'Brien got off an amazing close range attack hitting spock for 4 hits and a crit. Spock had already taken 3 damage from bacteria so 5 was enough to take him out.
W 2-0
Round 3
USS Voyager
Kirk 9
Transphasics
Paris
Enterprise E
Picard 8
Attack Pattern Omega
Photons
USS Equinox
I think the general idea behind this was to fire away with Kirk and Picard while using the Equinox to clean bacteria.
Jennifer Sisko disabled Paris and transphasics. Every ship except the Equinox, his and mine
, took damage turn 1 from bacteria. It was funny everyone gunned it turn 1. Kirk was exchanging fire with Picard and O'Brien turn 1. Voyager was left limping and my Enterprise lost some Shields. Turn 2 my Picard finished off Voyager. My Enterprise and the Equinox took some pot shots at each other. His Picard got off a great torpedo shot on Dukat stripping the shields and sending 1 crit to the hull
ATTACK PATTER OMEGA, instant Warp Core Breach. Dukat took some shields off of the E. Turn 3, you guessed it, CORE BREACH,
Dukat was gone. Next 2 turns O'Brien chased the Equinox down and my Picard went head to head with his. I think I got both his ships on turn 5 or 6.
This was a fun game against one of our youngest players. I was very pleased to see the young fellow hit me with such a good combo of Picard and APO, nice one
W 3-0, and took home a Pagh
I was pleased with how the list did. Daro and O'Brien saved my bacon in games 2 & 3, they were healing left and right. At first I didn't think Jennifer Sisko did much, but I realized that out of 3 games non of my opponents re enabled their stuff. Spock on the flagship with a free scan would have been bad. Those transphasics turn 1 in game 3 would have been game changing. So I think she was worth it.
So in all the scenario was more fun than I thought, but that could have to do with good opponents rathrt than anything else. Everyone was happy to see no borg. Everyone is also planning to come to Peak Performance so
for that. Now I just have to think of a list for that, maybe Tholians
