Turn 33 - Current Board

The Fleet is using this rare bit of downtime to get some new pilot recruits some flight time. Unfortunately, it seems the Cylons were ready and waiting for the fleet, and several ships quickly move in position to begin an attack on the Galactica and the civilian fleet.

----------
Stelas chose Crisis: Ambush

1. Activate Basestars(no effect)
2. Setup: 1 Basestar, 8 Raiders, 2 Vipers, and 3 Civilian Ships
3. Special Rule - Training New Pilots: Keep this card in play until the fleet jumps. Each unmanned Viper suffers a -2 penalty to attack rolls.

## ALERT VIPER PILOT!

For Alert Viper Pilot action, I'll ##PLAY Quorum card: Authorization of Brutal Force

Then I will wait to see how badly that screwed up and what cards I get. <_<

##Draw 2 Leadership

Yakumo · « **Reply #277 on:** April 04, 2013, 05:32:51 PM »

You can't miss destroying raiders with that card, the roll is to see if you lose population as well. Also, you need to tell me which group of raiders you're targeting. I mean, I'm pretty sure I can guess but there are possible reasons you would want the other.

Lady Door · « **Reply #278 on:** April 05, 2013, 06:09:32 AM »

Oh yes, sorry for being misleading. I meant risking the Population on the die-roll was likely to back-fire. <_<

Play it on that section that has the two civvie ships.

Yakumo · « **Reply #279 on:** April 06, 2013, 07:24:05 PM »

The die roll was 1, 1 population was lost. Three raiders were destroyed in the section behind Galactica. Lady Door's cards have been sent. Sorry for the delay.

Lady Door · « **Reply #280 on:** April 08, 2013, 08:53:51 PM »

Naturally. Stupid dice.

## MOVE my Viper-self to the Base Star space
## CAG! as follows:

1. The Viper that was sharing a space with me should now come join me.
2-4. Launch 3 Vipers from forward.
5-6. Move 2 of those Vipers to the space with the single civvie ship.

Gotta stay alive just a bit longer...

Turn 33 - Current Board

Admiral Apollo jumps in his Viper and orders all available Vipers into the fray. A glitch in the FTL computer system almost goes unnoticed during the chaos, but one tech notices and runs off in search of Chief Tyrol to try and fix it before it causes more problems...

I realize that doesn't quite match what Lady Door posted above, but we had a discussion in IRC to correct some issues.

Lady Door · « **Reply #283 on:** April 09, 2013, 05:04:36 PM »

It's true, we did. Space directions are hard.

HEY GUYS WE NEED TO NOT LOSE POPULATION MMKAY?

How many of you bastards even have useful cards for this check?

(Reserving my right to play last in the check. Doubt we need full turn order, I just don't want to be out a big gun if the humans decide to punt.)

Lady Door · « **Reply #292 on:** April 12, 2013, 09:27:02 PM »

... Target 24? ... jesus.

Uh.

Uhm. Hey guys. Thoughts?

(Also doesn't turn player play first?)

Yakumo · « **Reply #293 on:** April 13, 2013, 01:49:15 AM »

Skill checks start with the player after current and go from there, so current player does play last when turn order is enforced. An odd rule, but that's how it goes.

Lady Door · « **Reply #294 on:** April 13, 2013, 04:04:16 AM »

Oops.

Still waiting to hear from my fellow not-robots. Also it is one of my fellow not-robots turn to play cards, technically speaking, so there's that.

Nitori · « **Reply #295 on:** April 13, 2013, 05:55:27 AM »

I don't have a lot here

AndrewRogue · « **Reply #296 on:** April 13, 2013, 11:11:11 PM »

24 isn't actually that bad since 4/5 card categories apply to it? We'd have to more or less dump our hands on it, but I think it can be done?

AndrewRogue · « **Reply #297 on:** April 13, 2013, 11:11:43 PM »

Theoretically we could survive it going off, but it would be a pain in the ass.

Ranmilia · « **Reply #298 on:** April 14, 2013, 11:00:24 PM »

Basestar attack has a ~5% chance to kill you! (but that happens regardless of pass/fail)

Yakumo · « **Reply #299 on:** April 15, 2013, 01:22:55 AM »

You already hit the fuel token and it doesn't get shuffled back in, so you actually can't kill them with one lucky Basestar shot, I'm afraid. There's still fuel on a civvie somewhere though.
