Surprise Assault from Kathy McCracken (01/1999)

See picture of Surprise Assault.

 

If you haven't been convinced yet of the wisdom of carrying hand weapons in your Away Teams, this planet dilemma may change your mind. With stiff requirements of Leadership, 2 OFFICER and 2 SECURITY unless you have two hand weapons, a modest wall dilemma in front can make you lose two personnel. While they will be the lowest CUNNING and STRENGTH, not the highest, that may mean a limited "opponent's choice" if there is a tie. This can be particularly hazardous to the Borg, where the lowest CUNNING will be any [Com] or [Def] drone and the lowest STRENGTH any [Com] or [Nav] drone. If you have to pile up drones to pass a wall dilemma, your opponent will pretty much get his pick of which ones to kill. (Only Locutus, Dukat or Tomalak of Borg in your hive will get you past this unscathed.)

Combo:

  • Crisis + Common Thief + Surprise Assault: Tie up one OFFICER to man the ship and eliminate one hand weapon, and your opponent may be hard put to muster either requirement.
