Star Trek: Attack Wing - Prepare to be Assimilated

I was able to play in two Month 6 events of the "Dominion War" organized play series for Star Trek: Attack Wing last month. I was a distant second for a DS9 model at the venue I host at, and had no chance of winning at the other. I simply hadn't been able to go to enough tournaments at the second event to garner enough points. All that is in the past however, as the Borg are coming!

Oddly enough, the preview for the first Borg expansion didn't show up on Wizkids website like all the previous ones, but rather on startrek.com. If you want to read the whole preview for the expansion click here. The sphere is a pricey ship points-wise, and seems pretty powerful, but I think the Borg should be powerful. They're the f-ing Borg!

Yeah, still sounds Swedish, but these are nasty cybernetic swedes that you don't want to hang out with!

Anyway, I wasn't I regular watcher of "Voyager" so I don't think I ever saw the sphere on TV, just the little one at the beginning of "First Contact."

The ship itself looks pretty good, and I think that scenarios included in the Borg expansions will be a lot of fun!

It's difficult to talk about the cards until I use them. I've found that my opinions of the cards and abilities change quite a bit after I try them out in a few combination. Some of the stuff sounds very good but ends up being too situational, or costs too many points to really be worthwhile. Other stuff can be tougher to make work but when it does...(take another look at those Energy Dissipators for the Breen, they're way nastier than you think).

We have a few months break in the storyline Organized Play events until we start fighting over the Delta Quadrant, but I'm really looking forward to it. I might even have to go back and try watching some more "Voyager," but really what I want to do is recreate the battle of Wolf-359. I'll have to wait for the Borg cube expansion to be released for that. Until then, I'll get my affairs in order before the assimilation ships arrive.

You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

Farewell Ozzy!

This afternoon I found out that the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne, has passed away. Although I've been a fan since my early teens, I am surprised at how strong my reaction to the news has been. I had missed out on catching the Black Sabbath farewell show a few weeks back during live stream, so I've not yet seen it. A friend of mine told me about a few days after, and I'm looking forward to watching it when it becomes available. I've had the good fortune of seeing Ozzy perform twice; once at an outdoor stadium show with Zakk Wylde on guitar, and once with Black Sabbath several years later. I remember more about the experience of those shows than the specific details, and could not tell you set lists or anything like that. His impact on music and pop culture, both as a member of Black Sabbath and a solo artist simply cannot be understated. As impactful and important as that is, it also hits me that his children have lost their father, which happened to me at the end o...

Errata Discussion

Here's my first-ever joint article! Thanks to Scott Mooney for providing counter-point to my ramblings. Following the release of Marvel Universe and Marvel Evolution there has been a lot of discussion among our player group (and online) about the powers of certain cards, both in terms of sheer power and in terms of wording. I'm sure most of you are familiar with the debate brought on by the 3-cost, Exiles-affiliated Blink. We'll not be discussing that particular card today, but rather some other combinations you may or may not have thought of. Scott has built a very deadly Starjammers/X-Factor/X-Men deck that takes advantage of discard effects and Energize to lead to an amazing turn 7 combo using Cyclops, Astonishing X-Man and Havok, Proud Son. This combo can stun an opponent's board if they are unable to pay the discard required by Havok's ability. It is especially dangerous in a multi-player format and brought up some thoughts on designer intent versus the ...
