[BSG Boardgame] Game 4 - Game Over: Cylon Victory

Ah, I didn't remember the other 0 pop ship, but I did correct my math up there, I reversed my numbers.

Other facts: 28 Crisis Cards involve the risk of morale in some fashion. 41 cards contain a Skill Check, 16 which allow the current player to choose a non-check option, the remaining 25 which are compulsory. Of these 41 checks, 23 involve Politics, 26 involve Leadership, 29 involve Tactics, 10 involve Piloting, and 10 involve Engineering. Any check involving Engineering also involves Tactics, 9/10 checks allowing Piloting also allow Tactics, and 21/23 checks requiring Politics also require Leadership.
DA will <3 you when he sees this. Then he'll ask you the what the average skill check is for each type of card, possibly using the Target/# of Positive skills (so our most recent one would rate a 3.333 (repeating, of course) for each of Politics, Leadership, and Tactics).

I'm going through all these numbers as well and mine don't match. But I'll put them up in a moment.
The physical deck in front of me says I'm right.
Another observation: All checks involve Leadership or Tactics. As for average skill check numbers... The overall average is 9.98, the average for cards that include Politics is 10.26, Leadership 9.77, Tactics 10.34, Piloting 10.80, Engineering 11.1.

Yeah, after his action this turn of drawing cards instead of something useful, I knew it was coming soon.
I see. I misallocated one of the skill cards, so it's 41 that have skill checks, not 40. So I'm going back and updating my previous posts. Then I'm going to update the turn.
And I was going to discard anyways. I have fourteen cards in my hand prior to contributing.

I was working to make it blatantly obvious. The one check after the sleeper phase we didn't have a committee for meant I knew he was a baddie just from the cards that turned up. There really isn't anything we could do about it though.
Discard Politics 1 to move to Weapons control.
Leadership 1 played on Rend. Launch Vipers for pew pew I guess. On your turn if we're not all dead consider XOing me to pew pew the raider at 1 o'clock. It's going to take us forever to get a viper there but losing it could cost us the game.
Borderlands 2 PA Xbox Metatag - Bazillion Guns
Launch a viper and activate it 3 times to move to starboard quarter and fire at the lone raider there.
Movement Step: Move to Weapons Control by discarding Politics 1
Action Step: Play Leadership 1 to give William Adama (Rend) Executive Orders.
Executive Orders: Adama remains in Command, launches a Viper from the port-quarter bay (5 o'clock), orders it around to the starboard-quarter (1 o'clock), and has its pilot attack the Raider there.
Attack: 8 > 3, Raider destroyed!
Zarek moves back to Galactica to prepare for its defense, and confers with the Admiral to send out another Viper to protect the remaining civilians.
Crisis Step: Scouting for Water
Tom Zarek (DevoutlyApathetic) must choose:
A) Skill Check [9] Tactics + Piloting
Pass: +1 Food.
Fail: -1 Fuel and destroy 1 Raptor.
OR
B) -1 Food.
After Crisis: Activate Raiders, Advance Jump Preparation
Food isn't high on our list of worries right now. Probably a better plan to keep the piloting cards in our hands than use them to save....food.
