Just wanna point out the resources lists 3 vipers in use but we only start with 2 on the board.

I don't know what you're talking about. It clearly doesn't say that.

I could have sworn..... Damn, it must have been one of those crazy visions I've been having lately

2 Leadership, 1 Tactics

2 Tactics, 1 Enginnering

With that, the game begins! Players and Turn Order Thanatos - President Gaius Baltar - Slacking off in the Research Lab jdarksun - Karl 'Helo' Agathon - Running for his life on Caprica Osvik - Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace - Yelling at knuckledraggers in the Hangar Deck Plutonium - Admiral William Adama - Working on his model ship in the Admiral's Quarters FrostMist - Sharon 'Boomer' Valerii - Checking all the weapons in the Armory TheMadjai - Galen Tyrol - Bossing people around in the Hangar Deck Resources Fuel 8.

I discard Leadership 2 - Executive Order and move to the President's Office. I then activate the President's Office. Hylianbunny, you forgot to send me my initial Quorum card. Someone might want to move to administration. There are a lot of Politics challenges, and we're looking at only three (possibly four) total politics between all of us, and if Chief is a Cylon, that's going to mean I'm the only one with politics helping us.

Discarding a Leadership 2 (Executive Order), Gaius Baltar decides to quit slacking and moves to his cushy office, reviewing his options...lazily. Cards are sent.

I'll move up to administrations, and start getting those political cards, if noone else feels like it

stopping by to say your board is hot. i love your tokens. share me a PSD!

stopping by to say your board is hot. i love your tokens. share me a PSD! It's a labour of love, and isn't quite done yet, but I'd be glad to when I get the final version finished.

Okay, I play: Release Cylon Mugshots The Cylons have the ability to mimic human form: they look like us now. This man has been identified as a Cylon agent. We believe him to be responsible for the bombing. - Laura Roslin Action: Look at one random Loyalty Card belonging to any other player, then roll a die. If 3 or less, lose 1 morale. Then discard this card. on William Adama. It's imperative we make sure our Admiral isn't a Cylon, since he's in position to frak with us the most (getting to make jump check choices), and it's best to do it now before we've all got two cards.

President Baltar holds a conference, distributing mugshots among the fleet's captains. 1d8=4 The fleet appears to be alright, if slightly uncomfortable, with this and so no morale is lost. However, the fleet is suffering from... Crisis Sleep Deprivation Five days now. There are limits...to the human body. The human mind. Tolerances you can't push beyond. - Gaius Baltar Admiral William Adama must choose to either: A) Return all undamaged vipers on the game board to the 'Reserves'. Then send the current player (President Gaius Baltar) to Sickbay. or B) -1 Morale. <Activate Basestars> <Jump Prep>

What's the skill check level on this? Am I missing it?

There is no skill check for this crisis - it is a straight decision.

Adama isn't a Cylon. There is no skill check. We either return all the vipers to the reserves and send me to Sickbay, or take a morale hit. I'd recommend A, and then have someone XO me out of Sickbay before my next turn. But it's Adama's choice. And I'll take a Politics card for my last draw.

I'd rather not take the morale hit this early in the game. I'm choosing Option A: Return all undamaged vipers on the game board to the 'Reserves'. Then send the current player (President Gaius Baltar) to Sickbay.

Helo loses his turn, so it looks like Starbuck should launch herself and move to 3 to prepare to intercept the raiders once they reach the civilian ships. We'll get the president out of sickbay, and hope we don't lose anything important to basestar shots.

Admiral Adama opts to give the pilots a brief rest, despite the impending Cylon attack. All vipers are recalled to Galactica, and President Baltar, overworked, moves to Sickbay. The Basestar threatening Galactica fires, scoring a hit on Weapons Control, but no essential personnel are injured. 1d8=4 [/B] Players and Turn Order Thanatos - President Gaius Baltar - Resting in Sickbay. jdarksun - Karl 'Helo' Agathon - Running for his life on Caprica Osvik - Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace - Yelling at knuckledraggers in the Hangar Deck Plutonium - Admiral William Adama - Working on his model ship in the Admiral's Quarters FrostMist - Sharon 'Boomer' Valerii - Checking all the weapons in the Armory TheMadjai - Galen Tyrol - Bossing people around in the Hangar Deck Resources Fuel 8.

Though Helo is still unavailable, the human fleet has another crisis on their hands to deal with. Crisis Food Shortage Get the names of those ships. Tell their captains to go on emergency rations immediately. - Laura Roslin President Gaius Baltar must choose either: A) -2 Food. or B) -1 Food. The President discards 2 Skill Cards: then the current player discards 3 Skill Cards. <Activate Raiders> <Jump Prep>

Frak. That's valuable food, but it's also 5 frakking skill cards. Sorry, Helo. I think I have to go with B. I discard Engineering 3 - Scientific Research and Politics 1 - Consolidate Power. And no offense, Hylianbunny, but I really like Darian's color scheme considerably more. The pastels just aren't doing it for me. It feels like we're playing "Battlethtar Galactica" and fighting the "Thylonth."

Fair enough. It's not too difficult to tweak, anyway.

President Baltar works out a plan to deal with the food shortage (Engineering 3 and Politics 1) while Helo uses a number of resources in his escape from Caprica (pending). The fleet uses significantly less food than they would have otherwise. Raiders begin their approach, intending to pick off the civilian ships.
