We only had 6 people at our combo even this weekend, quite a bit down from the 10 we usually have. Two OPs on the same day is quite the time commitment. I ended up winning with a kinda cheesy list. The final game in OP2 was against a 3 Borg Sphere list! The Alpha Hunter was the star for me and I was able to stay at range 3 to grind out a win.

Here's the list I ran for OP2

Alpha Hunter [Alpha Hunter] (26)
Karr [Alpha Hunter] (5)
Fleet Captain: Independent (Federation) [Fleet Captain Resource] (5)
Lure [U.S.S. Dauntless] (0)
Faked Messages [Gornarus] (5)
Kenneth Dalby [Val Jean] (2)
Monotanium Armor Plating [Alpha Hunter] (3)
Total (46)

Regent's Flagship [Regent's Flagship] (32)
Worf [Regent's Flagship] (2)
Adm William T. Riker [U.S.S. Pasteur] (4)
Total (38)

I.S.S. Defiant [I.S.S. Defiant] (24)
Khan Singh [U.S.S. Reliant] (6)
Conditional Surrender [Krayton] (3)
Cyrano Jones [I.K.S. Gr'oth] (3)
Total (36)

Fleet total: 120





After a lot of post game grumbling from the players who did not like facing Lure+Faked messages I switched up to a straight forward Dominion list for OP3.

Cardassian Keldon Class [Koranak] (24)
Gul Lemec [Reklar] (3)
Remata'Klan [Battle Cruiser] (4)
Shroud [4th Division Battleship] (1)
Total (32)

Gul Macet [Assimilated Vessel 64758] (3)

Cardassian Galor Class [Assimilated Vessel 64758] (28)
Gul Dukat [Koranak] (5)
Boheeka [Koranak] (2)
Total (35)

It was a fun day, but after six games I was pretty tired

Nice job. Yeah the Lure/Faked Messages combo is nasty, but at least there is an errata on Lure. Can't say i have much pity for the guy with 3 spheres. Nice build for both events, two OPs in a day sounds like a blast, but I'm sure it is tiring

Yeah someone played Lure against me at GenCon. It was so effective I had to use it on somoene else

I like the psychological aspect as well. People change their deployments when they see it in the list. I consider that a win.

I love the psychological warfare in this game. I had a guy fly his Ent E out of a fight and avoid me for the rest of the game because he was terrified after I played Stalking Mode on his Picard. He was soo afraid of loosing Picard he let me destroy the rest of his fleet to save it . The really funny thing was it was Peak Performance so he would had gotten him back. But no he hid him and I just kept blowing up his other two ships each time they came back on.

I really Like Stalking Mode. I LOVED doing a 1 ship 50 point game with it... I ripped a Reman to pieces because he couldn't get me in arc.

I just wish that Attack wing would borrow the "Limited" idea from X-Wing: basically it is a statement on the card saying that the card can only be used one per ship. I would be a great way to fix the whole issue of making non-unique upgrades unique for "game balance"
