BSG Season 26 - The Cylon Blockade

[Eternaly_Lost]

Crisis!

CRISIS: Analyze Enemy Fighter 

Current Player Chooses 
Skill check: TAC/ENG = 7 
PASS: Repair one destroyed Raptor 
FAIL: -1 Population

OR 

Roll a die. If 4 or lower, -1 Population and the current player discards 2 Skill Cards 

POST CRISIS: Activate Raiders, +1 Jump Prep

 

[Kingepyon]

We could roll it, though it's an easy pass and then we don't risk the pop.

I also have an IC I can play if we want to go for the check.

 

[sbr]

I'm leaning towards the skill check unless someone talks me out of it.

 

[Trinitrotoluen]

I could SP the roll although the check is likely the safer choice.

 

[randakar]

I have a SP too. And prefer trying to hoard as many cards as possible.
7 easy points with an investigative committee is still at least 3 cards..

## preload sp on the roll if that is chosen.

That's true, I'm just thinking ahead with pop, as the more we have on NC the easier it is to just leave asap.

With an SP roll, we have a 25% chance to lose some pop, while I don't see us failing the check with an IC. Even if it does cost a couple cards.

We are playing with the IC version where the DD isn't revealed so there still could be a -10 surprise hidden there. Granted, that's not very likely and I do agree with your argument.

Does anybody have a Calculations or G&I?

True. Well, at least - we still have the DD to contend with.
To be honest I kind of like my cards though, so I think if we go for it I won't play into it. The cards I have are better used elsewhere.

Does anybody have a Calculations or G&I?

Not me.

 

[jacob-Lundgren]

G&I! I have new cards, yes I do.

 

[sbr]

We will roll for it.

 

[randakar]

## play Strategic Planning-3

 

[Eternaly_Lost]

Roll is a 4+2=6.

No effect.

Raiders activate.

mmmmm

 

[Trinitrotoluen]

I could throw in 1 strong + 1 weak. I don't think we have the cards for the full pass, but the partial looks attainable (especially if we use that G&I before more TRE come into play). The downside is Kingepyon can throw in some ENG to make our life more miserable so I am not sure if the cost/reward ratio is all that great.

 

[sbr]

I haven't drawn any of those flavors so I can do nothing.

 

[randakar]

Blah, too bad. Oh well, time to get started.

Reveal:

Tsk. Boring cylon is boring.
And you could totally have sabotaged that last crisis, couldn't you?
Good thing I did not XO you, either.

I can play scientific research to counter that. If we want to go all-out on it, scientific research + investigative committee + g&i would make this one pretty doable. But I'm not sure we should break out the big guns just yet.
Also, I have some weak stuff I could throw in.

I kept trying to sound innocent and "help" as much as I could, but really, as a support it's easier to just reveal asap.

And yes, I was going to OPG tac and watch you fail it.

The IC that you are referring to is Kingepyon's. I have one as well but I think we'd need it in the check.

jacob has one more LEA from his initial draw BTW which means that so far we'd have 1 strong + some weaks (plus the required G&I and Scientific Research). This is getting expensive fast.
