BSG Season 12 - We're Racing the Cylons to Kobol?

glasszon · Dec 3, 2011

I can contribute a strong card into this check which should be enough to offset whatever the Cylons put in. Boomer, do you think you can solo this + Destiny since if we fail this, it is game over? Alternatively you can OPG it, which is kind of tempting since right now we probably have to way over-commit ourselves into this check just to cover the destiny.

I haven't played any cards yet, waiting on Boomers decision on OPG before I will make my move

Capt. Kiwi · Dec 3, 2011

Wouldn't be surprised if you went OPG. Obviously I'm not playing cards if you do.

You won't be able to play cards even if you wanted to since the entire skill check will be bypassed

(Similar to Political Powess played before skill checks)

EDIT: Boomer: If you do end up OPG this Crisis, don't forget on your turn you can go FTL and jump us again, this is because even if legendary discovery pops up, chances are we won't be able to pass the skill check anyway without your OPG.

Trinitrotoluen · Dec 3, 2011

use OPG to pass

Otherwise it would have been game over for us.

I'd like to see which cards I'll get before committing to anything. But yes, the FTL control is looking mightily attractive right now.

Kingepyon · Dec 3, 2011

Boomer uses OPG to pass crisis.

A question for the humans: should I still jump even with a 75% chance of failing?

Go ahead. We are in the all or nothing stage of the game now. Jumping now means that we only have to jump one more time to win. Population will be at 1, but hopefully we jump before the cylons attack us again.

Trinitrotoluen · Dec 3, 2011

Go to FTL control and hit the button.

Let's hope that we don't have to sacrifice 3/4 of our remaining population for the greater good.

Capt. Kiwi · Dec 3, 2011

I'll be rather annoyed if you somehow win with every resource at exactly one...

Reroll dice if the first roll fails using my character ability

EDIT: Even if both destination uses more than 1 fuel, the game still doesn't end until Boomer's Crisis, which can gain us a fuel back. (I haven't saw the destinations yet)

Capt. Kiwi · Dec 4, 2011

7/16 success, 9/16 three pops die and one left. If you also get a one fuel destination, that'd be all resources at one... Except Galactica damage, at two.

Kingepyon · Dec 4, 2011

Naw, it doesn't matter. Both destinations take 2+ fuel.

[COLOR="#red"]Cylons Win![/COLOR]

The next 2 destinations:

Barren Planet

Distance 2
Lose 2 Fuel.

A Civilian Convoy

Distance 3
Lose 3 Fuel and gain 1 Population. The Admiral may choose to lose 1 Morale to gain 1 Fuel.

With the crisis:

CRISIS: Weapon Malfunction

Skill check: TAC/PIL/ENG = 11
PASS: No Effect
FAIL: Damage 2 Vipers in space areas. All characters in Weapons Control are sent to Sickbay.

POST CRISIS: Launch Raiders, NO JUMP PREP

If scouting would have happened...the next 4 destinations are:

Dying Star

Distance 2
Lose 1 Fuel and damage Galactica once.

Desolate Moon

Distance 3
Lose 3 Fuel.

Remote Planet

Distance 2
Lose 1 Fuel and destroy one raptor.

Asteroid Field

Distance 3
Lose 2 Fuel. Then draw 1 civilian ship and destroy it, losing the resources on the back.

But would that really have helped, seeing as the next 5 crisis cards are:

CRISIS: Raiders Inbound

CAG Chooses:
-1 Population and damage Galactica once.
OR
The CAG and the Admiral must each discard 3 Skill Cards.

POST CRISIS: Activate Heavies, NO JUMP PREP

CRISIS: Threat of Super Nova

Skill check: LEA/PIL/ENG = 10
PASS: No Effect
FAIL: -1 Population and damage Galactica.

CONSEQUENCE: Launch Nukes

POST CRISIS: Activate Heavies, +1 Jump Prep

CRISIS: Rescue Mission

Admiral Chooses
-1 Morale and the current player is moved to Sickbay
OR
-1 Fuel and destroy 1 raptor

POST CRISIS: Activate Raiders, +1 Jump Prep

CRISIS: Cylon Genocide

Current Player Chooses:
Skill check: POL/LEA/TAC/ENG = 21
PASS: Destroy all Cylon ships currently on the main game board.
FAIL: -1 Morale, then: Launch Nukes, Launch Raiders, Activate Heavies

OR

Roll a die. If 4 or lower, the current player is sent to the Brig.

POST CRISIS: Activate Raiders, +1 Jump Prep

CRISIS: Return to Duty

CAG Chooses:
Any character on Galactica with piloting in his skill set may immediately launch himself in a viper. Then Launch Raiders.
OR
Launch Nukes

POST CRISIS: Activate Raiders, NO JUMP PREP

Kingepyon · Dec 4, 2011

The only real chance was to scout this turn, hold out (jacob probably would've hit up rescue mission) and use the preventative policy card E_L was going to draw. Also, hope that you could pass cylon genocide when it came up on E_L's turn (if jacob didn't take it)

Edit: Roll was a 1 or 3 as well. -3 pop on top of that.

jacob-Lundgren · Dec 4, 2011

My unused super crisis.

SUPER CRISIS: Fleet Mobilization

Skill check: LEA/TAC/PIL/ENG = 24
PASS: Launch Nukes, Launch Raiders
FAIL: Launch Nukes, Activate Raiders, Activate Heavies, Launch Raiders, -1 Morale

Capt. Kiwi · Dec 4, 2011

So final resources 1 food, 0 fuel, 1 population and 1 morale? And two hits left to go on Galactica?

My unused super crisis was Psychological Warfare, would have helped spike any crisis checks but not much use when Boomer could just OPG it anyway.

glasszon · Dec 4, 2011

What really killed us was Bomb on Colonial One. Had our morale been at 2 we would have survived because we would choose Civilian Convoy as our destination and the following would have happened:
Lose 3 fuel, hence fuel drop to zero (cannot go into negatives)
Gain 1 population.
Admiral chooses to gain a fuel back for a morale.
Hence the net effect would have been fuel at 1, -1 to morale and +1 pop.

EDIT: Good game everyone

Btw, is anyone keen for season 14? I think we should have enough people for 2 games of BSG running concurrently.

randakar · Dec 4, 2011

When fuel drops to 0 humans lose the game automatically, don't they?
So that admiral's choice? Too late, no fuel to send out those raptors ..

That super crisis was a stroke of good fortune, I only got it because you played State of Emergency

I'd be up for another game, but as was pretty obvious here I'm shaky on the Pegasus and Exodus additions.

Nope wrong. The game ends when you go to start the next player's turn. A person's action can drop resources to 0 and the crisis can bring them back up. You only look right before the next player starts their turn, or the very end of the current player's turn. In either case it at the same time. Post everything that happens on a player's turn. Crisis, jumping, and so on.

Kingepyon · Dec 4, 2011

Yeah, it's at the end of the turn. If it was one of those "admiral may risk a raptor to gain fuel" I would have sent, but in this case it was lose a morale for it.

Also, in order to win (it was possible) the humans had to play almost exactly. TNT had to scout. And then E_L had to play the preventative policy he was going to draw, as well as XO TNT that turn so TNT could jump. Then when the next crisis came up(rescue mission) there was a fuel to lose.

At that point in time it was possible to live until the end of the crisis cards I showed with 2/3 jump prep needed to jump the next time, and the next crisis was:

CRISIS: Hangar Accident

Skill check: TAC/PIL/ENG = 10
PASS: No Effect
7+: -1 Population
FAIL: -1 Population and damage two vipers in the reserves.

POST CRISIS: Activate Heavies, +1 Jump Prep

So if you had the card to pass that, and make the pop roll (not likely) then you could have won.

Of course, there's a cylon turn in there somewhere.

The end was kind of close, but the low resources made people panic.
