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

[glasszon]

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:



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.

To be fair even with perfect knowledge chances are we won't pull it off because the Cylon turn would be huge, we simply won't have enough cards to pass enough Crisis.

The problem of extremely low resource everywhere is you simply can't tank any skill checks and with 2 Cylons against 3 Humans, the Humans simply won't have enough skill cards to pass them all. Another problem of low resources is you can't take any risk on Destiny, which means you will either have to overkill the check by a lot or risk losing the game due to bad destiny. (That was the reason Boomer OPG the last Crisis anyway)

EDIT: If people is interested in Season 14, the first thing we need to do is find a person willing to GM it. (Hats off to all the GMs, you guys are doing a great job and it's a lot of work)

I can GM, I'd still like to give Ionian Nebula a try, but I've never done it before.

If we get enough interest in people posting here I'll run another game (or someone can run another game) Since j-L is running a pegasus game, I think the game run here will be an exodus game with either another kobol finish or an Ionian Nebula finish.

Just has to be not new caprica, anything else is legal.

Er, yeah. New Caprica. That's what I meant by a pegasus game. Lol

I am happy with either Ionian Nebula or Kobol, although if possible I think Pegasus + Exodus would be better, I always like playing with all expansions
In regards to Ionian Nebula, I can post how to set up those additional elements (trauma tokens and allies) and it's quite easy once you get the hang of it.

Pegasus is kind of an unsaid these days. It seems to be in all the games now.

I see, let's hope more people will be expressing interest for season 14, right now I think we have me and Kiwi who is interested.

I could hop in it as well, but I figured I wait and see who else shows up. No reason to run two games if we only have the same players in both...

Yeah, I agree.

We may end up with the same players as last game, which would be ok.

 

[Trinitrotoluen]

I would be interested in a Ionian Nebula game as well. Jopi might also be available once he comes back.

 

[randakar]

I won't play 2 BSG games at once. Would love to see an Ionian nebula game though.

I think we have a few people here wanting to do an Ionian Nebula. Maybe we can do a Kobol game then, and an Ionian after 13 is done.

You misunderstand: I don't mind -watching- an Ionian nebula game either

 

[Jopi]

I'd be interested to play. The games where you have two Cylons running about from day one are usually very difficult for the humans. In this game, we didn't lose on the "too many fires everywhere to put them all out" but rather on just not being able to pass the checks. Raiders and Centurions posed hardly any problems. Damage to Galactica was there all the time, but that was never the most serious problem for us.

 

[glasszon]

So how's the season 14 game for Ionian Nebula shaping up? I assume since it is getting close to Christmas/New Year we will wait until next year to start it?

Yeah, I was going to wait as activity is going to get kind of low.

I'll start the next one early Jan (or whoever wants to start it)
