I saw that - a brilliant use of Fast Cruisers.
The Unique rule from earlier editions would have worked well for this sort of thing.............
my tournament:
Matt was very kind in lending me his Fed warships as my Klingons were not ready.
1 Kirov battlecruiser (which survived every game)
1 Constitution Command Cruiser
2 Texas Light Cruisers - which usually took the brunt of the fighting
3 Burke Frigates - In sinks and defensive ships - they were put into the line of battle with reluctance and usually died there
I had decided to merely enjoy the games against unfamailair opponents and set my self the objective of killing at least one ship a game
Game 1 against Alan's Klingons
Really great fun - and whilst on at least one turn we could hardly hit each other - the other turns proved suitably bloody with much of my fleet going down but did kill the enemy dreadnought
13 - 7 loss
Charge and Kill that Dreadnought!
Game 2 against Klingons - slightly ironic that I played the first two games against the race I had been hoping to bring!
James fleet was very different built around D5's and D5Ws with no frigates or Dreadnoughts. First turn was a bit nasty as his disruptors had awesome long rang accuracy which would continue during the game. Good fun and plenty of destruction as I again lost my escorts but sent two enemy cruisers to oblivion.
13 - 7 loss
Swirling melee
Game 3 - agianst the Romulans who I really hate playing against - worse than the Minbari!
Hmm odd one here - the game was "Rescue" and as the enemy fleet advanced I cautiously gave ground - fully aware of how deadly the romulan plasma had been in previous games. Probably I was way to risk averse but as they advanced I kept firing huge amounts of phasers in the hope of damaging the stealthy ships - to very little avail. Cripppled a Snipe near the end but it did not loose its cloak and the Romulans clamed the victory -without firing a shot.
13-7 loss
Game 4 against the Federation
Relgated now to the bottom table where they obviously considered terrain was too difficult for you to cope with! I faced the very striking looking enemy fleet of two Dreadnoughts (!), a fast cruiser and a pair of frigates. Will was still learning his trade and sent one dreadnought out alone to meet my fleet - which was hammered into burning wreckage by three ships but my light cruiser had strayed too close and was crippled by the explosion. Mopping up now contionued as massively out In sinked, the second dreadnought was finally pummelled into submission, with the fast cruiser following quickly.
20-0 victory
So in the end finished nicely mid table, had some very good games against friendly and good natured opponents - my thanks to them.
