Battlestar Galactica: Two Boomers

[Artell]

Basestar 1 rolls 2, no damage.

Basestar 2 rolls 6, damage to Galactica. The token is... FTL Control. Adama is sent to the Sickbay.

What skill card does he draw for his turn?

 

[sbr]

Are you f*ckign kidding me? More food shortages and I just happen to go to sickbay again?

I will take a Tactics card. I will wait to see what card I get before I make my action.

 

[jacob-Lundgren]

Its admiral hospital-bed!

 

[Galle]

And President Brig Cell!

And President Brig Cell!

Don't worry we will get you out of there just as soon as we can. Right after we:

1. Deal with the Cylons and Basestars
   
2. Repair Viper Command
   
3. Repair FTL Control
   
4. Punch Tyrol in the nuts

Have to catch me first

 

[Herbert West]

Go Galactica!

Anyways, I hereby announce my intention to join the next game, should there ever be one.

You do realize I'm the only person on this ship who knows how to repair things, right?

Do you draw research (blue) cards every turn? Sorry my good PC just suddenly died and I don't have my character sheet on this one.

 

[HisMajestyBOB]

I draw engineering (blue) cards.

 

[unmerged(17221)]

You're not helping.

But, anyone can draw a blue card with the Research Lab.

 

[Galle]

I do, in fact, draw research every turn. Character draws and abilities are in the OP.

 

[Artell]

Just to make sure everyone knows this, the Fleet can jump without FTL Control online. It just means you need to auto-jump.

I'll also probably do another game, but I'll need to work out some things to streamline matters. I won't take signups for that until I post a thread for it, but the interest is greatly appreciated!

So we can jump when the jump track is full but we can't jump early with FTL Control damaged?
---------------------------------

I will move to Weapons Control and fire a nuke at the Basestar in Foxtrot.

No SP card from me.

 

[Artell]

You'll auto-jump when the jump track is at 5/5 and you get another jump icon from a crisis card.

You also don't need to move to Weapons Control to fire a nuke (but you do need to leave the Sickbay to draw a full complement of cards next turn).

I'll hold you to the part about launching the nuke so we can progress. Apollo plays a preloaded Strategic Planning (3) on it.

 

[jacob-Lundgren]

Start trying to scratch the paint on my new toys!

 

[Artell]

The Admiral releases the second nuclear missile to destroy the second Basestar and to hopefully take some Raiders with it.

The die roll is a 3 (+2), the Basestar is destroyed.

I also added the turn update to a post above this, it's not consequential but we've done it every time so far so...

Crisis Step

Forced Water Mining

The impending food crisis and the discovery of a nearby icy moon prompt a decision - should we send some hapless people down there to mine the water out?

Current player chooses:

Pass skill check, gain 1 food if a pass, lose 1 population and 1 morale if a fail. OR
Gain 1 food, lose 1 morale, each player* discards a skill card at random.

The skill check has a difficulty of 17 and is Tactics/Politics/Leadership.

Raiders will activate, jump prep track will advance.

* This means even public Cylons as far as I can tell.

 

[sbr]

I can't see anyway we can pass this. I have started the last two turns in sickbay and have only 4 cards total, and the president is in the brig and can only play one card.

Does Baltar or Apollo have a different opinion on the matter? Our food stores will move to 5 but our morale will move into the danger zone, which I am OK with at this point.

 

[unmerged(17221)]

I agree. I'd hate to lose the morale, but I don't think we can pass the test.

 

[sbr]

I agree. I'd hate to lose the morale, but I don't think we can pass the test.

Well considering you are the only one with enough cards to give us a chance, that makes it official in my eyes.

We will not attempt the skill check and trade 1 morale for 1 food.
