    Alright, things have been updated.

    If you use the Basestar Bridge location, you are allowed to choose the second action after seeing the results of the first.

    Okay never mind then.

    I'll take Treachery, move to the Basestar Bridge. Activate to use -

    Roll a die: On 1-3, decrease the jump track by 1; on 4-8, increase the pursuit track by 1.
    Roll a die. If the result is less than the number of raiders on the main game board, draw 2 Galactica damage tokens and choose 1 to resolve.
    In order, it will be the same either way.


    All 6 raiders are on the main board right?

    Wish you had come over here Gene, things are getting fun.

    Turn 16: Saul Tigh (Void Slayer)

    Receive Skills Step: Void Slayer draws 1 Treachery card.

    For his second action, Void Slayer tries to damage Galactica with a Raider assault.

    ?

    Assuming we do okay on die rolls, I take out 2 Raiders this turn, 1 Raider next turn and then pop my OPG to scrap a Basestar.


    I thought that was an okay plan.

    Well, at the cost of a card I could have gone to pegasus and probably killed 2-4 raiders, and next turn with an XO probably kill/damage a basestar without using a OPG. So...yeah. Though it did get you out of sickbay, I guess.

    edit- I though "plan" meant "I have a maximum firepower" or "I can use my power to kill stuff".

    Turn 17: Callandra "Cally" Tyrol (El Skid)

    Movement Step: El Skid moves to the Armory.
    Action Step: El Skid plays Leadership 1- Executive Order on The Ender.

    Executive Order: The Ender moves to the Hangar Deck and activates the location, launching to the port-bow (7 o'clock) location. He uses his CAG action to activate the unmanned viper there, shooting at a raider.

    Unmanned Viper attack: 6, Raider destroyed.

    The Ender uses his bonus action to fire at a raider himself.

    The Ender's Viper attack: 5, Raider destroyed.

    Cally motivates Kat to get back into action to start whittling down the Raider horde waiting outside Galactica. The Admiral-CAG launches in a Viper, and with the help of the other pilots, takes down a couple of Raiders. Meanwhile, on the battlestar itself, there's reports of some suspicious faces...

    Crisis Step: Unwelcome Faces

    Admiral Louanne "Kat" Katraine (The Ender) must choose:
    A) Admiral Louanne "Kat" Katraine (The Ender) must discard all of his Skill Cards and then choose a character to send to the "Brig".
    OR
    B) -1 morale and damage Galactica once.

    After Crisis: Activate Raiders, Advance Jump Preparation

    If Option B is chosen, El Skid decides whether Galactica or Pegasus is damaged. In either case, El Skid chooses the order of activation for the Raiders on the board (1x port-bow, 3x aft)

    This is a tough one.

    I think Option A is our best bet, but it'll almost certainly result in another Viper getting damaged, and the hanger is awfully full of damaged aircraft right now - plus, I wanted that Viper there for Dio to use on his turn via Command.

    If we go with B, we retain a strong presence in space but our Morale is starting to get dangerously low, and Pegasus would need to tank the hit.


    What do you guys think?

    In future, we should probably ask the president if he can pardon someone before losing resources... though I guess your hand could be so awesome we don't even get that far.

    Damage Pegasus in the event of a hit, please.

    And I guess port-bow followed by aft raider activations? Shouldn't make much difference.

    B) -1 morale and damage Galactica once.

    The Ender chooses option B. -1 morale, and El Skid chooses to damage Pegasus; the Pegasus CIC is damaged.

    Saboteur activity is left unchecked, and Pegasus suffers for it.

    After Crisis: Activate Raiders, Advance Jump Preparation
    The port-bow (7 o'clock) raider is activated first, targeting the unmanned Viper.

    Raider Attack: 7, Hit - The Ender plays Piloting 1 - Evasive Maneuvers to force a reroll.
    Reroll: 3, Miss.

    The aft (3 o'clock) raiders are activated, targeting the unmanned Viper.

    Raider 1 Attack: 2, Miss.
    Raider 2 Attack: 7, Hit - The Ender plays Piloting 2 - Evasive Maneuvers to force a reroll.
    Reroll: 6, Hit. The Viper Mk. II is damaged.
    Raider 3 advances to the port-quarter (5 o'clock) location.

    Jump Preparation advances to Level 3 - Jump still unavailable.

    Heck with it - I doubt there'll be a more pressing time to use my OPG than when we're facing two Basestars, a (diminished) cloud of Raiders and 2 heavy Raiders.

    CAG Action - Activate Unmanned Viper in Port-Bow. Attack the Raider. Discard 1 - Launch Scout instead of rolling a die to blow the fighter out of the void.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXIqfHI0hQY

    Action - Target the thermal ventilation shaft! Use OPG to reduce the Basestar in my space to so much cigarette smoke.

    I'm getting the feeling that Caprica's agenda is either to have the humans win with us at low levels of resources (explains helping us get over crippling crisises), or us losing at max distance (her helping us survive long enough to get dream crushed at the end).

    Either way, our best bet to pull a W out of this game is to get jumping as fast as possible.

    Turn 18: Admiral-CAG Louanne "Kat" Katraine (The Ender)

    Movement Step: The Ender remains in the port-bow (7 o'clock) area.
    Action Step: The Ender uses the CAG action to activate the port-bow (7 o'clock) Viper, attacking the Raider. Tactics 1 - Launch Scout is discarded to set the die roll to 3, a hit. For his bonus action, The Ender uses his One-per-game Ability, Sacrifice, to destroy the Basestar.

    Kat continues the assault on the Cylon forces, clearing more of the raiders threatening the human fleet. She leads a dangerous attack on the enemy Basestar, miraculously hitting all its weak points and destroying it. Kat is exhausted by the experience, however - she returns to Galactica and is immediately taken to sickbay to recuperate. Meanwhile, accusations of unfair bias and preferential treatment are spreading in the fleet...

    Crisis Step: Unfair Bias

    Skill Check [12] Politics + Leadership + Tactics
    Pass: No Effect.
    Fail: Damage Galactica and Current Player Louanne "Kat" Katraine (The Ender) discards his hand of Skill Cards.
