Battlestar Galactica 2 Looking for Replacement.

[Sudo_Nym]

Before we take actions, I still need you to decide if you're drawing Engineering or Leadership, since Starbuck has a split draw.

[animorpherv1]

Leadership, I guess.

[Sudo_Nym]

Ani draws his cards, launches in a Viper, then moves to Aft (3 o'clock) to cover the civilians.

That takes us to the Crisis:
Surrounded
1. Basestars Fire Missiles:
Hit on 4 or higher:

Original Roll String: 1d8

1 8-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

2. Setup:
4 Raiders at 9 o'clock
1 Basestar at 11
3 Raiders and 1 Heavy Raider at 1
1 Civilian at 3
1 Viper and 1 Civilian at 5 and 7

3. Panic: The current player (Animorpherv) must discard 3 Skill Cards.

So, Ani must choose 3 skill cards to discard, or use his Special Destiny.

[animorpherv1]

Do you want me to discard here or via PM?

[Sudo_Nym]

Basestar hit; damage will be revealed when Ani either discards or chooses not to use Special Destiny.

@ani: Discards are public, so post in thread.

[animorpherv1]

Discarding:

Evasive Maneuvers - Play after any Viper is attacked to reroll the die. If the Viper is piloted, subtract 2 from the new roll. Strength 2
Strategic Planning - Play before any die roll to add 2 to the result. Limit of 1 "Strategic Planning" card used per die roll. Strength 3
Launch Scout - Action: Risk 1 Raptor to roll a die. If 3 or higher, look at the top card of the Crisis or Destination Deck and place it on the top or the bottom. Otherwise, destroy 1 Raptor. Strength 1

[Sudo_Nym]

Damage from Basestar is Weapons Control, so that brings us to Magua's turn!

[Magua]

Animorph, do you have a maximum firepower handy?

[animorpherv1]

Yes.

[Magua]

Looks like impeaching Laura Roslin and making Boomer the President will have to wait.

Move to Communications

Play Executive Order (1) on animorpherv1

You can move to 1 o'clock and then use a maximum firepower on the raiders there.

[animorpherv1]

Move to 1 o'clock and then use a maximum firepower on the raiders there.

Do this

[Sudo_Nym]

Assuming that you're attacking the Raiders first, and then the Heavy Raider if you hit the first three. Raiders destroyed on a 3+; Heavy Raider on a 7+

Original Roll String: 4d8

4 8-Sided Dice: (1, 3, 7, 2) = 13

[Sudo_Nym]

That's two raiders destroyed.

[Sudo_Nym]

So that brings us to the Crisis:

Jump Computer Failure
Difficulty 7

Tactics

+

Engineering

Pass: No Effect
Fail: -1 Population and -1 Jump Prep
Basestars Launch Raiders

BC to contribute first.

[BipolarChemist]

Ah! I haven't done this before!

edit: a thing cuz I learned a new rule today (Sudo can you post link to rules in OP of this game btw)

I can help a bit, but one card I'm not sure I wanna waste yet.

Recommendations?

[BipolarChemist]

Oh I also have my power where I can say pass or fail, but I imagine thats for a more dire time?

[Sudo_Nym]

Rules are now in the first post. Remember, only post the number of cards you are contributing; PM the actual cards to me.

[Magua]

We don't want to lose this. You should have two cards you can play into this check (one engineering and one tactics).

Tactics card should go in.

Engineering card should *probably* go in, though if it's a Repair it may be worth it to repair weapons control with it instead. You're likely the only person in a position to do this (animorpherv is going to stay in space and shoot at shit and neither FWTJR nor I draw engineering cards).

But we kinda-sorta-really want to pass this check.

[BipolarChemist]

I'm contributing one card!

[Sudo_Nym]

1 from BC
FWTJR to contribute.

[ForWhomTheJellyRolls]

I do not draw from that set so I have no cards to contribute.

I contribute zero cards.

[animorpherv1]

I contribute one card.

[Sudo_Nym]

That leaves Magua

[Magua]

Play 2 cards

[Sudo_Nym]

So the final contributions are:
BC- 1
FWTJR- 0
Ani- 1
Magua- 2
Destiny- 2
For a total of six cards.

The revealed cards are:

Repair- 1

Strategic Planning- 4
Launch Scout- 2
Launch Scout- 1
Launch Scout- 1

Evasive Maneuvers- 1

That comes to a final check value of 10: No Effect

Basestars Launch Raiders: There are only 5 Raiders in the supply, so as current player, Magua must decide to whether to put 3 Raiders at 9 and 2 at 11, or vice versa.
