I suggest launching Vipers to defend our civvy ship from the Cylon raiders swinging around our aft toward it.

Visions of Baltar piloting a Viper with a little astromech and screaming YIPPEE as he destroys the Death Star swims through his mind as he runs to Command and launches Vipers.

I don't understand the rules about launching Vipers, so uh, someone give me a hand here. I can either launch 1 and have it move to an adjacent space or launch 2 and they just stay in they're current space?

What you want to do in this case is activate 2 Vipers by lauching them from the southeast tube (when you "activate" a Viper, that means you launch it, move it or attack with it — "up to two" can mean the same Viper twice).

Two drones pop out to protect the Civvy.

Crisis Step

Oh my gods, are we having yet another

Food Shortage

President Chooses

-2 food,

OR

-1 food, President discards 2 Skill cards, then current player discards 3

Raiders Activate

Jump Prep: yes

You're not seeing things yet again, the spreadsheet's random number generator did indeed put two of these cards back to back. Again, I thought about tweaking it, but I want to give as accurate of a simulation of BSG as I can. These things do happen; I had a game with 5 Cylon Attack cards in the first 10 draws, and one with nothing until the Sleeper Phase.

Anyway, President, what would you like for your Crisis Draw? And would you like to lose 2 food, or 1 food and 5 of your cards?

This is real bad. Discarding my hand and losing 1 food.

Would this discard have included whatever I got for my crisis draw?

Oh wait, after my Crisis draw I should have 7 cards, so I can still keep two. I'm going to take a Politics for my Crisis draw.

Baltar sacrifices his third breakfasts in order to help the fleet. -1 food.

Raiders move into the same space as the vipers and civilian ship. Looks like they're gonna have a party!

Jump Prep moves up to -1 to jump.

Let's have a Piloting and Engineering card. And the humans have an awful lot of cards right now. Let's activate Caprica and give them a crisis.

Baltar, there's this strange leggy blonde woman who wants to see you. Says she has some "evidence" on a hexagonal disc she wants to share.

Pass: No Effect,
Fail: roll a die, if 4 or lower -2 population

Apollo, which option would you like to do?

I think we shall not. Using Helo's Moral Compass, I reverse your decision! Dump some cards, buddy.

Or not, if you don't want to. Revealed Cylons are immune to Crisis Card and Skill Check abilities.

Either way, the Crisis goes nowhere. Chief's turn will be posted this afternoon.

Man what. How can Chief's moral compass still be affecting me. I am so disappointed in my robot heart, but not enough to drop cards.

It's well-established that sleeper agents are very conflicted!

Chief will take a Politics and a Tactics and thinks his toaster-buddy had a great idea so will look at a couple Crises.

Chief also goes Crisis diving, in search of some tasty nuggets.

Crisis Step

Hey everyone, if you couldn't tell by the unwanted wireless calls and hallway signs, it's that time of year again! Baltar's re-election campaign is in full swing! Will Tom Zarek finally have a chance at reform? Will a lonely "Kindergarten Teacher" move up to the main stage? Tensions are high, especially because everyone's hungry!


Elections Loom

Check of 8, Yellow and Green (Pol, Lea)

Pass: No Effect,
5+: -1 morale,
Fail: -1 morale and President discards 4 Skill Cards

Heavy Raiders Activate
Jump Prep: Yes


Contribution Order:
Destiny: 2 cards
Boomer: 0 cards
Admiral Helo: 2 cards
President Baltar: 1 card
Apollo: 1 card
Chief: 1 card

Let's get the election party started!

Aww, well, you would just discard how many you can. In this case, two cards.

And you don't have to discard anything you contribute, obviously, so there's no downside to helping with the skill check.
