[BSG: Exodus] - Game 6 - Game Over

iamtheaznman

With the other cards in my hand establish network was the worst...speaking of

!Play Politics-4 Investigative Committee

Rius

Baltar has a lot of politics; I'll wait for him to weigh in on pre-check cards.

El Skid

Back to Cally!

Rius

Oh Cally?

XiV

Me cards ain't that good unfortunately.

2 - God's Plan

Rius

That is troublesome; we might lose this =(

El Skid

Thats better than expected.

I'm going to scale back to 1 card for reasons of my own. The difference is minimal.

Piloting 2- Full throttle

Tenek

Starbuck, that's a Full Throttle - Run Interferences are 3-5

El Skid

thats what I meant to say

Rius

This is a tough call, but I'm going to go with my original instinct.

I'll contribute Politics 0 - Red Tape.

It's been a long game and there's been a lot of Tactics, Piloting and Engineering drawn. We still have yet to see Scout for Fuel or Best of the Best, plus there could be a lot of recently-unplayed 5's in people's hands. I pray that I'm not spoiling Destiny.

iamtheaznman

I can help a lot but only with one card. Helo do you think you can take it home?

antherem

I'm not confident in that without some help from Destiny.

Rius

As it turns out my memory doesn't go back far enough; Both Best of the Best and Scout for Fuel have either been used or discarded in checks or executions very early in the game. Can't be bothered to do the math on whether or not they've been shuffled back into circulation by now, heh.

Rius

The suspense is physically wounding me; you guys need to contribute so I can take a breath again.

iamtheaznman

Well, we might as well try. An iron well could help too. I haven't done calculations on destiny but if its positive trust instincts could help too.

!Engineering-4 Scientific Research

antherem

Well, you're not going to like it, but there isn't much I can do it about it.
Play Tactics 1 - Launch Scout and Piloting 1 - Evasive Maneuvers

Rius

Here's looking at you, Destiny. Don't be positive 5 or higher.

Tenek

Strange Beacon

13 Tactics, Piloting, Engineering
Pass Choose 1 space area on the main game board and remove all Cylon ships in that area.
Fail Decrease the Jump Preparation track by 1.
(activate raiders)

Contributions:

Tactics 1 - Launch Scout

Piloting 1 - Evasive Maneuvers
Piloting 1 - Full Throttle
Piloting 2 - Full Throttle

Engineering 4 - Scientific Research

Politics 0 - Red Tape
Politics 3 - Preventative Policy

Treachery 2 - God's Plan


1 + 4 + 4 - 3 - 2 = 4 - Fail! Jump prep decreases.

Raiders activate and attack Starbuck.
3d8 = 3, 4, 2 - Miss!

Starbuck, I forgot to ask which type of Viper you wanted to launch to 7:00. Which type would you like?

Cally, did you want to change your draw?

Rius

All right, so Destiny was a net -1. And then all three Raiders missed Starbuck; God's Plan is mysterious indeed.

Cally; if you activate Raiders, that's six shots on Starbuck and the Civilian with her. If both of them get blown up, the remaining Raiders will take shots at Galactica, which could have hilarious results. The problem is, she held back some Tactics or Piloting, and if she held back the latter, she can probably make most of them miss. Then we'll have all 12 Raiders in one space section which seems awkward and less than optimal. Especially since Starbuck's turn is after yours and she has the actions and could have the cards to take down a LOT of those Raiders.

It might be best to damage Galactica and do something else on the Bridge; your call.

XiV

Draw Pil/Eng

Starbuck's not holding a Max Firepower or she'd have used it by now on those raiders. A couple of Evasives like you say is a lot more likely.

I'd really like to sickbay her this turn for the card deprivation, but another free shot at Galactica is also tempting.

Rius

I'm less concerned about Maximum Firepower than I am about Run Interference. If she has the latter, four of the six Raiders in her space will automatically miss.

And if she has or draws Best of the Best than she can take out between 1 and 8 Raiders on her turn.

I'd love to see her in Sickbay too, though. Tough call! They always are.

XiV

Well I remember 2 of the Run Interferences been used already.

Can we have a confirmation whether the piloting deck have been reshuffled? Or if that's not allowed, the deck status (a few left, half gone, etc?)

Tenek

The Piloting deck has not been shuffled yet.

Wow... more tired than I thought, apparently. Coulda sworn I posted for that.

3. Action Step - Activate Raiders
4. Crisis Step - n/a
5. Activate Cylon Ships Step - n/a

As the raiders continue to advance on Starbuck, the humans are distracted. Cally has a chance to act before they can recover... have you consulted your other copies, Cally?

Rius

Starbuck should be the only one left with any Piloting, and if the Piloting deck hasn't been shuffled yet there's only one Run Interference left out there. She has three cards in hand and I can certify that at least one is Piloting.

Up to you, Cally.

XiV

With no nukes and Best of the Best still in the discard pile, I think it's pretty safe.. If she has piloting cards, might as well get rid of them now.

Move to Cylon Fleet, activate raiders

Rius

Bold BSG!

I approve.

Tenek

Cally, do you want to activate the raiders at 1:00 or 11:00 first?

Rius

She's not online but I can assure you her answer would be 1 o'clock, heh.

Tenek

Good enough. -.-

6 raiders at 1:00 attack Starbuck.
1d8 = 3 - Miss!
1d8 = 7 - Starbuck plays Piloting 1 - Evasive Maneuvers
1d8 = 4 - 2 = 2 - Miss!
1d8 = 6 - Hit! Starbuck sent to Sickbay.
Raider destroys Civilian A. No resources lost.

Remaining 8 raiders attack Galactica.
8d8 = 7, 4, 5, 2, 6, 8, 5, 4.

Cally, you have one damage token to assign. Galactica or Pegasus?

Rius

Shouldn't that be 9 raiders attacking Galactica?

Edit: nevermind, the empty civilian!

iamtheaznman

Welp this could be terrible. I hope you have an XO Starbuck.

El Skid

With my...one card :P

I'll take leadership for my card draw.

Rius

If you pop Pegasus they lose a lot of good locations, especially for their current situation.

iamtheaznman

I agree with Gaeta.

XiV

Sorry guys - out of town and my phone spends more battery life searching for a network than functioning.

Bye, Peggy.

Tenek

Cally's assault on the Pegasus pays off as the battlestar sustains critical damage. Main Batteries Damaged - Pegasus Destroyed!

Back on Galactica, things aren't looking so well for Starbuck. The CAG has been severely injured by the raider attack. Despite Cottle's expert care, the CAG flatlines.

Starbuck draws a Disaster token and is executed. -1 Morale

Starbuck reveals her loyalty cards:

You are NOT a Cylon

You are NOT a Cylon - Personal Goal: Stand and Fight: 10 or more Raiders

Action: Reveal this card if 10 or more raiders are on the main game board.
Then, if distance is 6 or less, shuffle 1 "You Are Not A Cylon" card into the Loyalty deck and draw a new Loyalty Card.
If you are a human player and this card has not been revealed by the end of the game, lose 1 Population.

Starbuck discards:
Piloting 0 - Protect the Fleet
Treachery 3 - Sabotage

Gaeta plays Treachery 3 - Sabotage. -1 Food.

Starbuck, who do you want to reincarnate as?

antherem

Well then.
