[board] The Battlestar Galactica Languish Project

[Tamas]

Well after this not really productive turn, here goes the Crisis. The Admiral gets into trouble with the press:

[Barrister]

I suggest we fail.  We Risk losing more cards through the crisis than the card will make Adama lose.

[JacobL]

If we try to pass I am throwing some weak cards in support, none strong but a batch of weak ones.

[garbon]

While I appreciate the Colonel's position, why is he always so quick to push for us to fail everything?

I could provide quite solid support for this.

I threw in a bunch of cards just a couple of challenges ago.   

I thought we discussed a few days ago that making half-assed attempts to pass everything wasn't really a winning strategy. 

[grumbler]

We shouldn't "choose to fail" we should just have Lee choose the second option.

That's what I'd recommend, unless the Admiral has a strong enough hand (which will be replenished right after this) to get us half-way there.  I can only help a minute amount with this.

I'd also recommend that the Admiral plan to XO the XO to get that boarding party.

That's correct - choose the second option.

XOing me could work - I'll also give the boarding party another go once my turn comes around.

[JacobL]

So we just want to straight up take the morale hit yes?

[grumbler]

The President isn't so sure, but that is what the XO and I recommend.  The Admiral hasn't spoken on the topic.

[Berkut]

Yeah, just take the morale hit.

[grumbler]

I am not moving at all.


bleh...

Only crack pilots get two actions.

Never fear, though, there will be a crack pilot in Zone 6 shortly.  Maybe you could take out the basestar in 5?  You are 1 for 1 in destroying basestars with vipers.

[garbon]

If the Admiral is fine with the bad PR, so be it.

[Tamas]

I will apply the moral loss and carry on with the game when I get home.

In the meantime, I have been considering making the CB box for this game. The only challenge in it would be the conversion of the shitload of cards...

However, the design would still require a referee, there is no other way... I am thinking that even the destiny deck would get a separate tray and would not be on the table, players would be restricted to their own hands basically, so I am not so sure about the merit of it. Maybe only to allow others here to GM a future game, or me GMing future games without the need to occupy my gaming table.

[Tamas]

So, Morale is down to 7, and the Raiders in Zones 5 and 6 activate, first roll is the attack on Starbuck, 2nd is on Apollo

Die roller results:

Request:  8-sided die x 2

7
1



The attack on Starbuck would be successful, so Apollo, who is over the hand limit anyhow, plays Evasive Maneuver for her, forcing a reroll with -2drm:


Request:  8-sided die x 1

8


Now, I have looked hard but I found no rule prohibiting the usage of Evasive Maneuver on a rerolled attack, and since Apollo would have to discard randomly, and has spent EM cards in the past to save Starbuck, I can see no reason to not assume he would burn another EM card to bring his hand to 10. So after tossing a 2nd 1-valued EM card, here is an other reroll:

Request:  8-sided die x 1

7

And it is still a damage with a 5 

Now I need word from the pilots in case of any more cardplay on this, or Starbuck goes to Sickbay.

In the meantime, the jump counter will proceed (to -1), and the Admiral will be receiving his cards.

[Barrister]

Crap. 


Guys, I'm coming up to a period of limited connectivity.  I'm away for circuit court this afternoon for two days.  The hotel should have wireless internet, but still you won't see as much of me.  I'll be back Wednesday night.
