This tournament was our first together as a group. We all came in with high hopes and "well planned" decks. The day started with a trading session, as usual, and a chance to hang out for a few minutes.
The first round was a chance to learn about each other's playing styles and get all the wrinkles in our perceptions of the rules smoothed out. The Romulans under the command of Benji proved to be too much for Bockers' Klingon force, scoring a 154-105 win and sending a loud message to the Federation forces of Razor and Wolfe. The UFP's battle excercises ended with Razor emerging victorious in a 150-123 firefight.
After some considerable time wasted in dining and recreation, the time came for the finals. In the consolation round the Klingons came back with a vengeance and destroyed Wolfe's forces 158-63. And, after having all but 3 personnel die after the misfortune of hitting The Sheliak, Supernova, and Barclay's Protomorphosis Disease, Benji was defeated by Razor after 4 hours of play in a 169-125 slaughter. Benji was quoted as saying, "Just wait until next time." And on his victory Razor said, "I have never seen such heavy losses before. The next time we meet, you'll be lucky to have one person left alive!
