Pardon my ignorance, but what is a Kaufman retrograde? I'm assuming
it is a specific set of moves. Given that, two D-7's will not normally
be able to hold out against a pair of Federation NCL's. Operating at
any sort of range is bad news, since your phaser II's and disrupters
are going to be of marginal use. The UIM might help some, but they
always break down on me before they do any real solid damage.

I'd say that your best hope would be to close in, try to stay out of
the photon firing arcs, and pray to whatever gods Klingons believe
in. This is a good time for every dirty trick you know. Fast drones
might be of some help, too, but I don't think they allow them in
tourney play. (Do they?)

Overall, this doesn't seem to be a fair match. The only reason the
D7's will win is luck. Not what you need for a decent tourney. 
Maybe they are thinking about two of the D-7C Command Cruisers vs
the NCL's. I haven't played that one, but it should be a closer
match.
