Re: Battlestar Galactica Boardgame 3 - Exodus
Yeah, it seems like basestars attacking is likely. That's probably the best cylon activation that we could get right now, as it's only bad if it hits the engine room, and even then we wouldn't be completely boned.
Fortunately the ways that Dee could actively screw us (beyond simply not jumping the fleet, which only screws us if the next crisis kills us) are relatively limited. We'll see, anyhow.
Fingers crossed!

No kidding. I don't even really see a reason to even attempt to pass it, although with two Pilots and this being one of the few Piloting Crises, it might not be very hard.

Oh, and it's even my turn, so I can choose to damage Pegasus instead of Galactica if the Basestar hits (right?)

I don't think we should attempt to pass it, personally. Dee will contribute no cards precheck or otherwise to the crisis.

Yeah, I'd definitely say fail this one. There's no way we'll need those three mark II vipers in reserves.

Re: Battlestar Galactica Boardgame 3 - Exodus
That was pretty much my thought process as well. The only way they'd possibly matter is if the Cylon Fleet jumps in, and considering the size of the fleet and the number of civilians, we're totally frakked the next time we get a Raiders Activate after that anyway.El Guapo wrote:There's no way we'll need those three mark II vipers in reserves.

Re: Battlestar Galactica Boardgame 3 - Exodus
I believe that's everyone. I'm assuming that (assuming that we fail) Zurai's going to damage the three Mark IIs in reserve.

Yes, assuming the Crisis fails, damage the three Mk II Vipers in reserve. I'm also trying to think of any downsides to damaging Pegasus if the BaseStar hits; the only one I can think of (hitting the Pegasus engines) doesn't nearly outweigh the negatives of a bad draw for Galactica.

Re: Battlestar Galactica Boardgame 3 - Exodus
Also Lars - all of the "humans win" agendas have been achieved already except for "convert the infidels." On the off chance that your agenda is convert the infidels, that would be achieved by jumping the fleet on your turn provided that we fail the population roll. So it's still in your interest to jump the fleet if that is your victory condition, as it's a 75% chance of winning the game. I'd say that's higher than not jumping and hoping that a crisis knocks out 1 population before something kills us.
If your victory condition is one of the cylon wins ones then...well...please jump the fleet?

Re: Battlestar Galactica Boardgame 3 - Exodus
Madame President, as we enter the final stages of our long and arduous journey, I feel like I must take a small moment to reflect upon the madness that led us to this point. Like, that one time, when I got shot in the face? That sucked. HARD. Even worse then that one time I accidently tossed away a card that could have recovered fuel for us. But, the time to point fingers about who shot who, or who's a supreme dumbass has passed. It's time to take us home to Kobol or Earth or whatever.
Cylon Dee will stay in the engine room, and play "Executive Order 2" on Tory.
Take us home, Madame President.

Letting me jump the fleet on my birthday!
Tory will reveal... er, Tory will move to FTL control and activate it, to jump the fleet.
Holy crap, I can't believe that the humans actually won this game.

Humans win!
Lars/Cylon Dee's Agenda Was:
Prove their Worth - The humans have won AND at least 5 Raptors/Vipers are damaged or destroyed.
Lars/Cylon Dee wins!
You guys have no idea how close you were to Lars screwing you over for one more turn. If that raider hadn't blown up the 5th Viper...

Unless the Crisis on Lars' turn screwed them Lars' attempt would have done nothing since El Guapo would simply have jumped them. Unless Lars' wanted to brig Guapo thus making mine the next turn and giving me the chance to back the jump track up again.Turtle wrote:Humans win!
