Wave 2 - Klingon, I.K.S. Kronos One Expansion Pack

The I.K.S. Kronos One makes a great addition to a player’s fleet with its ability to cause opposing ships to roll one fewer attack die when firing upon her at Range 3. Two unique captains– Chang and Gorkon– have two very different combat philosophies represented in their special abilities. Chang has the unique ability to disable an opposing Captain Card of a ship which he has in target lock while Gorkon can “sue for peace” by causing his ship and every ship attacking him to roll 2 fewer attack dice for a turn.

No Star Trek: Attack Wing expansion would be complete without a few interesting Upgrades as well. Kerla can assist in avoiding hits by converting one Battle Station result into an Evasive Maneuver result if the attacking ship is within Range 1. Stex also provides a defensive boost but in the form of the ability to keep Crew Upgrades from being disabled or discarded by the opponent. For the more offensive minded individual, the unique skill Once More Unto The Breach will greatly enhance the already potent Klingon ship’s attack potential by allowing a ship’s Primary Weapon to make two total attacks during a round at a -1 attack die penalty– however, this bold move comes at the price of not being able to roll any defense dice for the remainder of the round.

Keeping with the offensive nature of the Klingons, the I.K.S. Kronos One expansion pack also contains two new Weapon Upgrades for players to consider and both will be able to be used with great effect on one of the first Klingon ships to sport a rear firing arc! First we see the Klingon faction get a 5 attack Photon Torpedo very similar to their Federation and Romulan counterparts which allows the player to convert one Battle Station result into a Critical Hit. The Klingons also get a new addition to their arsenal in the form of Concussive Charges. We’re going to take a bit more in depth look at this card as it has a lot going on with it.

As you can see the I.K.S. Kronos One Expansion Pack has a wonderful balance of offensive and defensive offerings for a player as well as new Effect Tokens to help players remember card abilities when they are activated.
