Today's interesting combo of Good Card, Bad Card comes from Dan Van Kampen, a.k.a. Iron_Prime. He asked me my thoughts on the missions that give you a discount on manuevers and assault events after you complete them. Then I realized I play one, but never the other.
Good Card: Advanced Battle Simulation
Why: Who's the best affiliation for this mission? Surprise, it's TOS. One of the few times I was clever in Trek was my TOS Battle deck, "Wrath of the Constitution". When looking for missions for TOS personnel this fit like a glove. Leadership x2? No problem, non-unique Evans. For the other skills you can go either way, 1-cost Josephs has navigation + security and 1-cost Angela Martine has engineer + programming. It's my philosophy that for a good deck your non-uniques should provide all your mission skills. Plus, Cunning > 33 for 35 points is always a great deal.
Bad Card: Advanced Combat Training
Why: Skills. Sure, leadership, security and officer are usually found together on personnel. But the oddball medical thrown in there makes things tricky. At the moment the only affiliation I could see using this mission is Klingon, and they aren't too keen on doctors. Plus, they have plenty of easier planet missions to pick from. Maybe the new Bajoran Resistance personnel coming out tomorrow could use some combat training? I hope so, it makes me sad when a mission never sees any play.
