BSG: The Board Game - The First Night

So to clarify: All of your skill cards must be played in your post now, instead of PM'd to me. Exactly what you play is public knowledge. The only cards that will not be revealed are the two destiny cards.

On that note, you can play skill cards now.

I really want us to pass this so we can confirm loyalty. That said, this whiskey looks amazing

I cannot help with this.

I can't help with this.

I will not help with this - may the One True God have mercy on your souls.

I can't do this on my own, friends! We're doomed to fail unless you start pulling your weight.

##Plays Leadership 4 and Leadership 3

Sadly the efforts of Zarek's political finesse are not enough to protect the fleet's fledgling detector. Its promise of security was lost forever due to cylon influence.

Quote :

LEA/TAC = 8
Leadership-3 (Declare Emergency)
Leadership-4 (Declare Emergency)

Piloting-3 (Maximum Firepower)
Politics-2 (Consolidate Power)

7 - 5 = 2 FAIL!

Result: ChaosSatella is sent to sickbay! Heavies activate, and the fleet gains one jump prep! The fleet auto-jumps!

As a result, the admiral draws two destination cards and chooses one to resolve. The results will be made known shortly.

The fleet arrives in the galactic equivalent of a barren wastelend. No stars or planets can be detected in immediate jump range as far as the computer can see (unless given a bit more time). Tigh hopes the fleet can hold together long enough in the depressing darkness to calculate a new destination.

TheRambizzle has chosen Deep Space! The fleet loses 1 fuel and 1 morale, but gains 1 distance!

Izendale execute turn

Note: I got the turn order wrong on the first turn, it is actually Izendale's turn after Ransom.

Izendale is in sickbay, and draws 1 SUP!

Sirens blare aboard Galactica: boarding party! Officers scramble to deal with threat, and Starbuck is first on the scene. She opens fire, but is forced to dodge and take cover to avoid the Centurion's return fire.

Izendale rolls a d8! Result: 6, a miss.

Rumors of the threat, coupled with knowledge of Baltar's betrayal spark riots throughout the fleet. Admiral Tigh scrambles to organize a response.

CRISIS: Riots

Admiral Chooses:
-1 Food, -1 Morale
OR
-1 Population, -1 Fuel

Post Crisis: Launch Raiders, NO JUMP PREP

We will lose the food and morale. If the civys cry too much, Zarek can pacify them with some speech full of lies about how everything is going to be fine.

Left with no choice, Tigh made the difficult decision to pacify the riots the only way he could: by force. Morale suffered, but the people will recover in time.

The Tactics deck is empty! The discard is reshuffled into a new one!

##Move to Armory
##Fire everything at the frakin cylon boarding party
##Play Tactics-4 (Strategic Planning) to add 2 to the result

Come and get some you frakin toasters!

The Centurions continue their assault on the old battlestar, and the Admiral himself personally leads an assault team. Meanwhile, shortages ravage their way through the taxed fleet, the empty space beginning to close in.

If I discard 3 cards, I will have one left which I will discard when the next turn starts and disappear into a bottle. I don't want to lose the food. If you think we can make it without my help in the next round make me discard.

I think it's better to sacrifice food for the 5 cards. We're currently at 7 so we're not hurting too bad on it and the 5 cards can save us in the next skill check. A lot of us don't have many cards (I have 1).

I am inclined to agree. Don't make me crawl back into the bottle. I am almost a day dry!

You're all frakking Cylons.

We'll lose the food.

Water shortages ravaged their way through the fleet, reducing the colonist's supply of precious food.

Crisis result: The fleet loses 1 food, but gains 1 jump prep!

edit: Turns out deep space is actually 2 distance, who would have guessed?

Boomer joins the hunt for the Centurions on board. Suddenly, Lt. Gaeta turns from his console. "Admiral, one contact on DRADIS, Cylon basestar!"

ChaosSatella rolls a d8! The result is 2, a miss!

Crisis: Thirty-Three

Special Rule: Relentless Pursuit: Keep this card in play. If the fleet jumps before a civilian ship or basestar is destroyed, reshuffle this crisis into the deck.

When God's anger awakens, even the mighty shall fall.

#Go to Cylon Fleet
#Activate Heavy Raiders/Centurions

An uneasy feeling settles over the defenders of Galactica. Suddenly the centurions mount a colossal attack, breaking through several defensive lines in their efforts to reach atmospheric control.
