BSG: The Board Game - The First Night

As President I feel it is my duty to ask the Admiral why it is that he is willing to throw an individual in the brig without a trial to determine guilt.

As a citizen, I'm outraged that the Military sees it as it's right to determine guilt or innocent absent sufficient proof.

I would that I had the ability to put an end to this farce.

##Plays 0 cards.

I am shocked that, after my proof that Baltar is a cylon, you all refuse to throw him in the brig. We must deal with the enemy within! I will not stand by while a cylon tears this ship apart from within.

##plays 5 cards

OOC: HOLY MOLY 5 CARDS

I'll not stand by while a cylon runs free through the ship.

This time the military acted swiftly and without consulting so much as the president himself. Gaius Baltar found himself some rather unpleasant new quarters.

9 - 4 = 5 PASS!

Result: Gaius Baltar is thrown in the Brig! While in the Brig, you still receive skill cards as normal, but you are limited to 1 card per skill check, and you cannot move. Getting out of the Brig is a POL/TAC skill check of 7.

With the supposed cylon threat dealt with, the colonists turned their attention to other matters: getting fuel.

CRISIS: Scouting For Fuel

Current Player Chooses
Skill check: TAC/PIL = 12
PASS: +1 Fuel
FAIL: -1 Fuel and destroy 1 raptor

OR

Roll a die; if 4 or lower, -1 Fuel

Well, you've all done it. You've sent me from Colonial One to rotting down here. When cylon activity resumes and you come to me for help, you'd best hope I'm in a better mood.

I will not help the brigand Saul Tigh in this skill check.

Starbuck flies on.

Same with Boomer, my skill is needed elsewhere.

We don't have the resources in this current fight to look for more fuel.

##I chose to roll the die

With cylon forcing pressing in on all sides, Admiral Tigh has no choice but to call off the search for fuel.

Crisis Result: D8 roll is a 5, for no effect! Raiders activate and the fleet gains 1 jump prep!

The raiders attack Boomer, 1 (miss), 5 is a hit!

Boomer uses evasive maneuvers! 1 (miss), 5 is a hit, damaging a Boomer's viper and sending her to sickbay! The remaining 3 raiders move clockwise towards the equidistant civilian ships, into sector Bravo!

Note that the fleet is now close enough to auto-jump that you can use the FTL control location to force the fleet to jump. This has about a 75% chance of losing 3 population though, so do so at your own risk! If you jump, the entire board is cleared of ships and all spaceborn vipers are returned to the reserves.

##Move to Sector Foxtrot
##Use Skill Card PIL-4 (Maximum Firepower), attack the Heavy Raider in the section 4 times.
If a kill is scored, then
##Activate Viper to move to Sector Alpha. (Expert Pilot)
Else,
##Activate Viper to Attack Heavy Raider, use Skill Card TAC-4 (Strategic Planning) to add 2 to result. (Expert Pilot)

Come to momma!

Starbuck's expert piloting skills are barely enough to take down the incoming threat before it can deploy its centurions.

Izendale uses Maximum Firepower, rolls are 4 (miss), 1 (miss), 1 (miss), and 5 (miss). Izendale attacks the Heavy Raider again, this time with Strategic Planning to make the roll easier. Roll is 7, a hit, destroying the raider.

Unfortunately, the cylons seem to be one step ahead, resorting to internal threats this time instead of the external.

Feel free to play skill cards.

I will be busy drinking in the admirals quarters and unable to do much else for a time.

(I do not have any skill cards so don't wait for me in skill checks.)

The Military has done nothing but make our position worse.

I will contribute all that I can.

#Plays 1 card

oops, forgot to play card

##Plays 1 card

Well I can't very well help from the veggie crisper drawer of a refrigerator now can I?

No cards for you.

As the fleet celebrated the destruction of the heavy raider, the threat of a terrorist bomber sent ripples for the fleet, damaging the people's faith in their leaders.

The destiny deck is depleted, a new one is formed from 2 cards in each deck!
