Ah, indeed you did. Yeesh, I need to get some rest, making mistakes like that...
Anyways, I totally play out my hand into this check.
Borderlands 2 PA Xbox Metatag - Bazillion Guns
Also, I will contribute nothing to this skill check. Go ahead and waste your cards overshooting, thanks.
Also, how many civilian ships are still available (neither destroyed nor in play)?
Seven civilian ships have been destroyed, four are on the board, and one has not been placed.
1. Besieged, Cylon Assault
2. Luanch raiders, no jump prep
3. Boarding parties, Cylon Assault
4. Thirty-Three, Cylon Assault
5. Activate Raiders, no jump prep
Statistically speaking you're supposed to get 1 cylon assault every 10 crises and 2 jump preparation per 3 cards drawn.
We've got 0 jump prep in 5 turns, which puts us statistically down no less than 3 preparations, and 6 times as many cylon assaults as intended. If we can jump from here? That is more of a feat than any victory I've witnessed yet.
[EDIT] Correction, 1 cylon assault every 7 crises, which means we've only gotten between 3 and 4 times as many cylon assaults as statistically intended.
