Even bigger mistake was in the early game.

We had one Pilot with a Cylon fleet, and some very poor play at the start.

I started a Cylon so I did not immediately jump on it as I liked it. But people did some very stupid things. Activate Research lab over Captain's Cabin.

Using Weapons's Control with a SP on a raider! With a basestar here. We had Pegagis CIC and Main Batteries, both were better.

Not trusting King to move a viper to clear civlian ships was a very bad call. At worse you know he really did not have good intentions, at best he would have told you I was a Cylon and removed those civlian ships. Meaning you could trust him when I revealed until the sleeper phase.

With some poor plays at the start, you would have had a very hard time this game even I had been made a Cylon post sleeper phase.

As the lone Pilot with a Cylon Fleet, when I drew the other Cylon card I gave it to Glass who really made good use of his abilities to hurt you.

Thanks for making me as a Cylon, was really sad when I draw a Human card but knew I am in business when you gave me the Cylon loyalty card

Back on topic, yeah, Humans started off poorly, with so many new players it might have been better off to go to Kobol as Earth is really punishing to new players.

In terms of my execution, they really should have executed me at all cost when I soft-revealed on my turn, I was responsible for brigging at least 2 Humans and the around the Brig game really hurt them.

I think the final nail in the coffin was when the Human try to escape via a Brig skill check on an XO, that blew up big time and ended up sending another Human to the brig instead.

Earth is punishing, easier for Cylons to stay hidden and mess skill checks, I have found once a Cylon is revealed Demetrius is dropped more often than not. Best by far is Ionian, but its good to mix and match, I have even gone to Kobol and played the Crossroads battle to spice things up for a change.

Also playing over on Vassal last night and someone played Doc Cottle used Treatment upon himself, just checked the new FAQ he is no longer a valid target, he must treat another human player. So Doc Cottle stays in the gamebox never to be used as that is terrible.

Up for it!

I'd disagree that using Treatment on yourself would be a good idea most of the time. Doc Cottle needs a source of LEA as he can't draw it by himself. So getting 2 LEA via Treatment of another player is a very good thing for him and he usually wants to give away repair cards anyway.

I always feel his OPT ability is a bit underpowered, it would have been much better to be a movement ability rather than an action, but I guess then it would be too similar to Ellen Tigh.

Game up here - same rules as this one. If anyone wants to try something new, let me know, but I decided to keep it relatively simple while we have newish players.
