BSG (Cally)
Oh. Well, I guess that was bound to happen. Sigh.
BSG (Baltar)
You should have gone after Tobias instead of going for the jump.
BSG (Leoben)
They really should have. But it helped me out immensely that they jumped, so, much obliged humans!
BSG
The Cylon leader Leoben is also rubbing his hands together and twirling his moustache. (What do you mean he doesn't have enough hands for that? He has minions to twirl his moustache for him!) His hidden agenda was:
The Illusion of Hope
I'm not convinced there was much hope of even an illusory nature, at least from the time that Apollo revealed and took Galactica to one damage token away from destruction. Nonetheless. This agenda is fulfilled if the Cylons win (check), and if the fleet has reached at least 6 Distance. Which the humans obligingly fulfilled on the penultimate turn, instead of trying to shoot Tobias. I should change the banner, shouldn't I? Let's change the banner.
Cylons and Leoben win!
BSG (Leoben)
I was sweating that 6 Distance, believe you me!
BSG (Apollon)
Whohoo!
I am sad I didn't achieve my self-imposed goals of a) winning before Sleeper phase and, when that failed b) blowing up All The Ships.
But hey, go Tobias!
BSG (Cally)
Ha, wow, nice job, Leoben.
You should have gone after Tobias instead of going for the jump.
We would have taken him out, too, with that roll + SP.

I am sad I didn't achieve my self-imposed goals of a) winning before Sleeper phase and, when that failed b) blowing up All The Ships.
With Bomb on Colonial One, blowing up All The Ships was a real possibility. In the end, both Colonial One and Galactica were saved largely by the fact that this human crew was unusually strong in Engineering. In fact, four of the six players drew Engineering in their standard draw.
