BSG Season 28 - Searching for Home

[Trinitrotoluen]

Cards sent.

And as a bonus you get one crisis for free:

CRISIS: One Last Cocktail 

Current Player Chooses: 
Skill check: TAC/ENG = 7 
PASS: No Effect
FAIL: -1 Food, -1 Morale

OR 

Roll a die.  On a 6 or lower, -1 morale and the President is sent to Sickbay.

POST CRISIS: Launch Nukes, +1 JUMP PREP

 

[TheArchduke]

Am I reading this right on a die with 6 or lower, -1 morale? How can one roll higher then 6?

(Btw, I am 99% sure about my hand, could you resend my current one, or does it not work that way?)

 

[Trinitrotoluen]

7 and 8? And the roll can be modified by the usual suspects.

 

[Dexander]

0 cards

same reason as previous crisis...

 

[TheArchduke]

Hmm, I think this one is actually doable. What is the verdict here, I could help quite a bit.

 

[Eternaly_Lost]

0 cards from me

I don't have the cards in hand to help in this.

 

[randakar]

Am I reading this right on a die with 6 or lower, -1 morale? How can one roll higher then 6?

The game uses 8-sided dice. So on a roll of 6, 7 or 8 you're in the clear.
With strategic planning played that would become 4-8. And with a calculations card someone could up that to 3-8.

(Btw, I am 99% sure about my hand, could you resend my current one, or does it not work that way?)

That works.

 

[Trinitrotoluen]

I've already sent him his hand. Since Dexander is new as well, I will restate here that I usually send hand updates only when you gain additional cards. Players keep track of their spent cards themselves but if you are unsure you can always ask me to resend the current hand.

Action Queue:
glasszon - make a decision on whether to go for the skill check or not
glasszon - please assign a target for the basestar if it hits

 

[Kingepyon]

I can play 1 strong and 1 weak. I'd rather keep the weak if possible, though. If someone has establish network we could play that + my strong for an easy pass.

 

[Eternaly_Lost]

Glass, I suggest that we have the Basestar hit Galactica rather then pegasis. There is no danger of it hitting me and I am up next.

 

[TheArchduke]

I can play 1 strong and 1 weak. I'd rather keep the weak if possible, though. If someone has establish network we could play that + my strong for an easy pass.

I think we both together could easily pass this with 2 cards from my deck then. Saving cards makes less sense for me, as when i am in the sickbay I get less and with expansions there seem WAY less XOs..

 

[glasszon]

Take the dice roll, hit Galactica if needed

Discards:
Leadership-1 (Executive Order)
Leadership-1 (Executive Order)
Piloting-1 (Evasive Maneuvers)
Engineering-1 (Repair)
Piloting-2 (Evasive Maneuvers)

 

[Trinitrotoluen]

Die roll is an 8, nothing bad happens.

The basestar fires on Galactica and rolls a 4 --> the Weapons Control is damaged.

Finally we get +1 jump prep and trigger the auto-jump. The main game board is cleared and 2 destination cards are sent to our Admiral.

Action Queue:
E_L - choose a destination
Dexander - choose whether to stay in the Assault Raptor or return to Galactica's Hangar Deck

 

[Eternaly_Lost]

We going to

Desolate Moon

Distance 3
Lose 3 Fuel.

 

[Eternaly_Lost]

Preload, move to Engine Room, use repair on it.

 

[Dexander]

Does Raptor jump too? as I remember in the series it does... just checking to be sure

Yes, if you stay in the Assault Raptor, you remain in the space area you are in. If you choose to land you return to the hanger deck. The plus side of returning in this case, is you can move and do stuff on Galatica without needing to discard a card. If you expect to need to do something in space any time soon, you better off not returning.

Given that we don't know when a Cylon attack crisis is going to appear, it better to remain in space unless you have something explicit to do on Galactica, as you have to discard for the other ships to move to them anyway.

I was thinking too it would be better to remain in space.

so Stay in Raptor

Cards in play:

ACCEPT PROPHECY

Action: Draw 1 Skill Card of any type (it may be from outside your skill set). Keep this card in play. When a player activates Administration or chooses the President with the Admiral's Quarters location, increase the difficulty by 2 then discard this card.

 

[Trinitrotoluen]

Preload, move to Engine Room, use repair on it.

E_L moves to the Engine Room and uses a Repair-2 card to fix it.

Which leads us to the following crisis:

CRISIS: Keep Tabs on Visitor 

Current Player Chooses 
Skill check: POL/LEA/TAC = 12 
PASS: No Effect 
FAIL: Roll a die. If 4 or less, -2 Population.

OR 

The Current Player discards 4 Skill Cards at random.

POST CRISIS: Activate Raiders, +1 Jump Prep

Action Queue:
E_L - make a choice
Dexander - due to your drawback you will draw one card less (so only 4 in total) during your turn - please let me know which of your five cards you don't want
