Yeah, ACII is one of my favorite games ever. It's sad that ACIII is apparently a step back from everything I've heard.

Wow I have enjoyed the hell out of watching ACIII. Still haven't picked up the controller on any of them, probably too afraid I'll be hooked.
I wouldn't say ACIII is a step back -- it's a bit of a mixed bag, at least for me; a lot of the movement/climbing/freerunning stuff that drives the action is a nice step up from the whole ACII series. I'm just not nearly as deeply into the story (which may or may not come as I get further into the game).

Special Destiny 2
Establish Network doubles the value of all Blue cards, which thanks to Cally's SR-3, means a total Blue contribution of +10. In addition, Cally uses her Quick Fix ability to remove the SD-2 from the check.
Tally: 15 - 0 = 15. Pass! The toddler has been secured. Repeat, the toddler has been secured.
Next up is: ooh, more raider fun. The six raiders fire on the battlestars again:
Raider 1: 1. Miss.
Raider 2: 8. Hit!
Raider 3: 3. Miss.
Raider 4: 1. Miss.
Raider 5: 8. Hit!
Raider 6: 6. Miss.
Two hits! Do I have COs? ...No, I don't. It's current player's choice. Cally, how would you like to assign the hits?
BSG (Chief)
GOOD JOB RAIDERS!
BSG (Cally)
Put on your dodging shoes, Admiral. Pegasus can take the hits.
BSG (Chief)
Ahahaha, well, at least one of you is ending up in Sickbay. This is great. Raiders, target the Airlock and CIC!

Huh. Well, the Airlock was already damaged, but if the Cylons want to target it, I suppose I can throw it back into the mix. The raiders hit:
Engine Room
Main Batteries
Cally goes to Sickbay; Adama emerges unscathed! Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Cally's turn. Roslin's cards are going out.
