One of my venues had Battle of Mempa over the weekend. At this venue we play by the suggested format, but we do NOT retire resources. I have two regular opponents at this venue and have been seeing a lot of Donatra and Cloaked mines from both. Needless to say it's been getting a little boring
So I had an idea
to shake things up a bit. I have been trying to play thematic lists lately, but I thought I would deviate a little. This is what I came up with.
Officer Exchange Borg/Federation*
52 Cube 384 (also known as Big Momma
)
05 Kirk (Enterprise A)*
00 Admiral Haden*
01 Magnus Hanson
00 Borg Support Vessel Dock**
12 HMS Bounty (Support Vessel**)
04 Spock
02 O'Brien
46 Tactical Cube 001
05 Picard 9*
02 Dispersion Field
01 Hive Mind
130 Total
Yeah this is
. I have been trying to play thematic but I have been getting tired of the Cloak Mines and Donatra and there is a Romulan Grand Prize at stake, so it's on
Round 1
was a Bye
Round 2
My opponent flew
IKS Maht-H'a
Kor 8
Indy Fleet Captain (tech)
Drex
Projected Stasis Field
Romulan Cloaked Mines
Cry of the Warrior
Scimitar
Donatra
Mendak
Interphase Generator
Interphase Generator
Vor'Cha
Koloth
N'Geran
Set up
Turn 1
He gunned Koloth's ship and I did the same with the
Tac Cube. He cloaked but Picard was able to
TL and
BS. Koloth was one shoted and Donatra was well out of range of Kirk and Big Momma.
Turn 2
He brought in Kor and dropped his mines.
Koloth and Donatra end up right in front of Big Momma. Kirk stripps the shields off of Kor's ship and does 2 hull damage. Picard finishes him off.
Turn 3
The Scimitar is still there but it is under the Cube. Picard says
"screw those mines" . Both cubes pound on the Scimitar and get rid of her Interphase Generators
Turn 4
Kirk and Picard finish off the Scimitar while it is under the Cube.
Victory!
IIRC Big Momma lost her shields and took two damage to the hull. The
Tac Cube only lost 3 shields to the mines.
Round 3
My Opponent flew
Scout Cube 255
Khan 8
Dispersion Field
Magnometric Charges
Torres (Val Jean)
Monotonium Armour Plating
Stalking Mode
Praetus
Donatra
MendakDisruptor Beams
Cloaked Mines
Cloaked Mines
Robinson
Riker (Hathaway)
Red Alert
Sakonna
Troi
Valeris
Tuvok (Voyager)
Phased Polaron Beam
Set up
That mine field isn't really there it was just sitting on the table (tidy gaming
)
Turn 1
He books it to castle up in the far corner away from my
Tac Cube. (the Robinson isn't active yet) As expected Donatra drops her mines
Turn 2
Donatra gets too close to Big Momma and gets blasted off the table. Riker takes some shields off of Big Momma but nothing to worry about.
Turn 3
Big Momma hits the Robinson but Riker and Valeris save the ship. Riker uses the Polaron Beam to hit Big Momma for 6 including a STUNNED HELMSMAN. Picard lost some shields to the mines and Khan hits him for 3 including another STUNNED HELMSMAN
Sorry for the perspective change on the pics, it was getting too difficult to get all the ships in the above shots.
Turn 4
So with both Cubes get hit with a STUNNED HELMSMAN Riker and Khan get some free hits.
pic missing
(blame Q)
Turn 5
Time to get rid of Riker
Kirk strips the Robinson of shields, but Riker's extra die and Valeris save him from taking any damage. Picard gets 5 damage on the Robinson, but he uses the ship ability to take it down to 1 Warp Core Breach.
Turn 6
The Robinson is lost to a Core Breach
Turn 7
In fitting manner Kirk and Khan exchange fire. Both ships are smoking, Big Momma is down to 1 shield and 4 hull left. Khan has no shields and only 2 hull.
pic missing again
Turn 8
Kirk blows through the mines losing his last shield and takes one to the hull. It is enough to catch Khan in range and destroy him
Victory! In the end Big Momma still had 2 hull, the
Tac Cube had 6 left and again the Bounty was secure in the hanger.
Is this my best moment, no, but it was fun to just blow through those mines and not really care
