yes, I'm still confused by the pursuit track. But I like it because it feels more authentic.
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

Thrive to spite them

I moved to launch heavy raiders because Leobon needed Caprica to himself.
Before my turn I was going to do something else, then I went back to check and see where everyone was and realized all I had to do was sit tight and and activate the heavy again.
The only real thing I wish I'd done different was Reveal right after the sleeper phase.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
The only real thing I wish I'd done different was Reveal right after the sleeper phase.I've heard that a number of times. I should have too. There is this driving desire to infiltrate and sabotage. But it's rather difficult to do!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
That was an interesting game and it seemed like Team Human was on the ropes the whole time. I'm amazed they got as far as they did.
I also find the pursuit track confusing. (I understand the concept, but the implementation is unclear.)
I figured Leobon had a pro-Cylon agenda, that required the humans to accomplish something once he started helping them, but I wasn't sure on the details until he started telling the other toasters to ease off until after the next jump.
Well-played, by the way. I could actually picture Leobon doing/saying what he did.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Thank you! Although probably half the time I was imagining I was Cavil, for some reason.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
By the way, Dee, you actually died after the game because I didn't fulfill my Personal Goal while I was in Sickbay (or the Brig), so we lost 1 Morale at the end.

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

It almost seem like you should leave one of each ship on the board at all times to keep the Pursuit track at bay.
Strictly, the only one you need is a basestar. If you get a raider or heavy raider activation, they'll launch from the basestar. (Unless it has a disabled hangar, in which case nothing happens at all and everyone goes out for pizza.)

This is technically true. Sorry Dee! Adama also had an unfulfilled PG (given to him by Apollo), which cost 1 Pop.

Looking now to game 16, is everyone still in favour of using the Cylon Fleet module? I'm certainly happy to keep running it. Lat's start planning.
1. Game 16. Who's in? Players past and newbies are welcome alike.
2. Timing. Are people good to go now, or do you need a bit of time?
3. Game elements. I propose to use the same elements as in game 15, i.e. the standard elements from the base game and both expansions; the Cylon Fleet module; the Conflicted loyalties module; and possibly a Cylon leader, depending on number of players. Anyone prefer something different?
If you'd like to play, post here or email me. Any questions, just let me know.
