There are way too many civvies on this board. It's really no fair that we can't place any more.

I move to Cylon Fleet and activate all Raiders.

Ayup. Well, the only real question is how long Anders can stay flying. Let's see how the raiders in Sector 6 fare:

Raider 1: 4. Miss. (Any Calculations to make it hit? ...No?)
Raider 2: 4. Miss.
Raider 3: 8. Viper destroyed.

Anders does not play an EM. It was a solid performance; the raiders will only bag one civvie this turn. Baltar has no idea what's on any of them, so I'll determine randomly. Raider 4 destroys: Civilian ship F. Ouch - it contained 2 Population. That's both 2 Pop ships gone, as well as both decoys. All remaining ships contain 1 Population (and one ship also has 1 Fuel).

The raider in Sector 4 destroys ship D. It contained 1 Population. That concludes Baltar's turn. Boomer is up next. Boomer, what would you like for your card draw?

Boomer, if you activate those Raiders again, they'll be down to 1 Pop. And one more Raider activation will destroy them. There will be 9 Raiders in Sector 5 for those three civvies. They only have Anders and 2 Vipers to defend themselves as it is, if they can even launch them in time. They have to Repair Command first.

Maybe we can win the game before I leave for London!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG

I'll take a Treachery and a Tactics.

Second verse, same as the first. I will also move to the Cylon Fleet and activate Raiders.

Eta: I was very tempted to try to destroy Pegasus, but taking out Civilians makes more sense.

Yeah, I've been wanting to destroy it too, but it's not a guaranteed hit. With this move, they are pretty much toast if Cally's Crisis activates Raiders.

I love how Morale is so fucking high when everything else is in the shitter.

The raiders destroy ships B and H, both of which contain 1 Population. The fleet's Population falls to 1.

I regret to announce that Cally's draw will not contain an XO, and no matter what she does, there's no way to avoid the next Crisis Card having a raider activation, nor to move the civvies to safety or get any air cover in place. No matter what you do, at least one civvie will be destroyed this turn and Population will fall to 0. I will therefore call the game, on turn 6.5.

CYLONS WIN!

VICTORY!!! And such good timing, too. I was worried about the game extending into my vacation. Now I can sit the next one out.

I think I lost the game for Team Human when I XOed Boomer. And from that moment I was hoping to turn Cylon at the Sleeper Phase, and...I did! You guys put up a good fight, though. That Crisis where you lost the rest of your Vipers did you in, and I honestly was not expecting such a high showing from you and a poor showing from Destiny. You would have passed that if all my negative cards had only been worth 1. But I had a 3, 4, and a 5.
