FAIL! Galactica Damaged and two boarders on Galactica!

Would you like the damage to be on Pegasus or Galactica, Apollo?

The Law

If it says galactica damaged do you still get the choice? if I do get one I say Galactica anyway.

Spoiler:

The group I play with irl does not give the choice if it says galactica specificially (basicially the only choice comes in when basestars fire)

Capfalcon

Well, either way, same result,

FTL is damaged!

Your group is a bunch of silly geese.

Pegasus Rules, p. 9 wrote:

Damaging and Destroying Pegasus
Pegasus locations, like Galactica locations, may be damaged
by Cylon attacks, and follow similar rules for damage and
repair. Each time Galactica would be damaged, the current
player may choose to draw a Pegasus damage token
instead of a Galactica damage token. These tokens behave
identically to Galactica damage tokens, except that they
depict Pegasus locations.
If all four Pegasus locations have a damage token on them at
the same time, Pegasus is destroyed. Move all characters
on Pegasus to “Sickbay,” and characters may not move to
Pegasus for the rest of the game.

Phyphor

Discard Tac 2 - scout to move to President's Office & Activate it. Regardless of draw I will play Presidential Pardon on Helo and order him to take my spot at Command

We need a lot of actions but the civvies are technically safe for the moment so I didn't launch. It's absolutely critical I get an XO soon - I'll be assigning a mission specialist for better chance of a 3 distance and repairing the FTL & vipers while digging for AoBFs. I suggest that Dee jump us even if we're at -3 if we manage to keep the civvies up by then

Phyphor

Also, someone should go to the armory, we have 2 go arounds before we lose (unless we get screwed by the crisis cards) so it's not super critical yet

antherem

Thank you, Your Holy Eminence. I'll move to Command.

Spoiler:

Not sure if I get the choice here as I don't have Presidential Pardon in front of me, figured I'd cover my bases.

Phyphor

The card says I choose. I figure it's marginally better for you to be there in case raider activations mean we need to immediately cover the civvies

antherem

If someone other than me goes to the Armory, I should be able to give them effective executive orders from the ECO.

Capfalcon

As the the swarms of Raiders advance upon the defenseless civilians, a lone Raider jumps in at 11:00. This one seems... different, though.

Scar has arrived.

SCAR

Step 1: Activate Raiders
Step 2: Setup
1:00 - Empty
3:00 - Civ, Civ
5:00 - Viper
7:00 - Viper
9:00 - Empty
11:00 - Scar
Step 3: Special Rule - Scar
Scar activates twice on Raider Activation and can only be destroyed on a roll of 7 or 8

Well shit, that's a terrible setup. On the bright side I did draw an AoBF. I really hope the Chief can XO Helo for massive viper pewpewing at 3:00

Maximus

All we need to do is move some ships around and It's all good.

Isn't FTL supposed to be damaged?

Phyphor

We still have jammed communications right? No civvie moving?

Maximus

Maybe we shouldn't say anything.

Capfalcon

Jammed Communications is still in effect until you jump.

Gene Parmesan

I discard one card to keep my hand at 8

I'll move to ftl and play ENG 1 - Repair, then (because of chiefs ability) I'll play an LEA 1 - XO on helo

We took this line to mean atack as in basestar/raider atack not damage from crisis

you don't need to discard until the end of your turn

Phyphor

I think you have to discard at the end of your turn, not the start so you don't have to discard

antherem

One viper to 3 and one to 9, or both to 3, or should I launch more instead? I'm thinking the former option.

Phyphor

I'm thinking 5:00 to 3, triple attack (2 command activations means 4 viper moves). We'll lose civ D to the raiders but that's not the end of the world

antherem

Spoiler:

Ooh, even better, I forgot they can both be the same viper.

Hotdog, Galactica. Move from 5:00 to 3:00 and open fire on those three Raiders.

The Law

Um arn't you forgeting that you are still in the BRIG!!!

He isn't, sadly

Capfalcon

No. He was pardoned last turn.

antherem

Apollo, isn't Baltar supposed to be the delusional one? The One True God Emperor pardoned me.

The Law

Well I am now surrounded by them it must be getting to me

Capfalcon

1d8 = 4! Hit!
1d8 = 2! Miss!
1d8 = 7! Hit!

Two of the three raiders explode, leaving dust in their wake. The last raider breaks off it's attack run to engage the viper.

However, within the Galactica, someone is holed up in the Research Lab, demanding that they surrender to the Cylons, or he'll blow the whole thing up! Galactica's staff debates how to end this quickly and quietly.

DETECTOR SABATAGE!

Diff 8
Lea/Tac

Pass: No effect
Fail: Everyone in the Research Lab goes to the Sick Bay. Also, no more peeking at Loyalty cards.

Heavy Raider
Jump Prep

Phyphor

Who cares? Tank this

No cards

El Skid

Positive: Heavy raider activation.
Negative: Otherwise useless check that gives jump prep. Seriously???

e- 0 cards, obviously. I'm willing to concede that everyone plays zero.

Gene Parmesan

Um, well apart from the centurions activating that's a bit of a break. Anyone wanna take care of those toasters klomping around near aft damage control?

Phyphor

I'm ready to take care of one of them at least. Please to be XOing me if you can Helo. Althoug if you can't XO, jumping the fleet is not a terrible choice and then maybe Dee can XO me. I can SP the roll and you can reroll it so maybe that's actually a better option

Gene Parmesan

oh and no cards.no cards

And if now's the time discard the TRE 2 - Gods plan

Capfalcon

You played two cards. You have less than 8 cards. You don't discard.

Gene Parmesan

ahhhhhhhhh sorry about the bother.

You're reading too much into their attempt to mix fluff into the rules

From BGG:

Q: If a Crisis card says "damage Galactica twice", can the current player choose to damage Pegasus? (page 4 of this thread)
A: (Corey, FFG, by way of David Goldfarb) Yes, and he can choose and resolve each token before choosing the next. (By implication, this may also apply to the Cylon reveal power: "May Damage Galactica.")

antherem

The Baltar model sabotaged the Cylon detector before it left the ship!

I'm not sure why we care, the thing never worked right anyway. 0 cards

Maximus

Frak this crap, no cards.
