The Universe as we discovered it...
We bravely went where no man has gone before, and learned that The Federation rules. In an highly *ed game we used to learn the mechanics we found several corrections and direly await a rematch.
It didn't help that Q made an appearance and threw me half way across the universe. It didn't help that, coincidentally just as the Klingon's were about to make 'their conquering move', the power went off at which point the Federation decided to 'help' by sabotaging my only way to produce light on my oil lamp then choose to retire to his house until power returned.
Even thought the Federations die rolls were up to par as shown above where anything below a 5 would have saved his ships, the Federation still found a way to pull off a victory. In a strategy which I am certain they would like to be kept hidden so they can reproduce it in the future I will go into detail here: As the Romulan's and Klingon's were discovering the other and finding one turning on the other the Federation refused to partake going so far as to not even making contact with another world until very late in the game choosing only then to use underhanded methods to 'clean house'.
Ofcourse old tactics were also used by the Federation, the old trick of making quite public his opinion of how 'dominant ' the Romulans were and how they could not possibly be beat. Even going so far as suggest he would, once again, lock himself in the bathroom to show his frustration in him not being in a commanding lead. Only to get our sympathy and at that point make his move to connest his small part of the universe to ours.
How long we fall for that ploy is anyone's guess but it works and the Federation knows it.
