Er, that's not the Win the Game button.

I mean, it is, but you—and only you—can order a jump from anywhere.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The Admiral gives the order for the fleet to jump away. With all the civilian ships evacuated, and all the crew evacuated, there is no resource loss. For the first time, the humans have escaped from New Caprica!

HUMANS WIN!

Those freaking nukes. And you hardly ever got skill checks! I can't believe you guys actually pulled it off. Stupid cards!

Actually, their first seven crisis cards on New Caprica all contained skill checks. They had 21 skill checks out of 48 turns, which sounds about average.

Perhaps I should they hardly ever got skill checks after I had good cards to spike them with.

They didn't get a single skill check after I played God's Plan. It's still sitting there, waiting to explode.

If I were asked my opinion, I'd say the decision to decamp to Caprica when there were four OA centurions on the board might have something to do with it. Spamming OA activations would have kept us busy punching, and maybe destroyed more ships.
