And it looks like a lot of them, like Cottle and Lampkin, are already Allies.
Don't they have all the necessary characters by now? I mean, Hot Dog has got to be way down low on the Admiral hierarchy; what does he really have to offer?
Okay, what am I saying, it would be worth it just to have a game with Admiral Hot Dog.
And it looks like a lot of them, like Cottle and Lampkin, are already Allies.
I'd be curious to see if any of them weren't Allies. They make for a pretty comprehensive list of any recurring character.
The only thing that prevents me from positing that they'll all be existing Allies is that there are 35 Allies, and this expansion will bring the number of playable characters to 34. That fits, but three of those Allies are D'Anna, Simon and Doral. Are they going to have some more Cylon leaders? Or, like Boomer, will their status be unknown at game start? Or have FFG found two more characters that can go into the mix, and the three other Cylons aren't part of the new roster?
(If they are all Allies, my money's on Simon being the odd one out.)
BSG (President)
It is with heavy heart, on advice with the Admiral, that we pick Option 1 .
Let's tighten up the belts, people. Maybe we should distribute stems to curb the hunger pains.
BSG
Belts collectively slide in another notch as Food falls to 5. Next we have a raider activation. Any raiders on the board? Well, we can fix that. Two raiders launch from the basestar.
Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Helo's turn, except for his discard. Helo, you currently hold 11 cards, and must discard one to get back to your hand limit. When you're ready, please post your choice of discard.
Gaeta has opted to draw 1 Yellow and 1 Green for his variable draw. Mr Gaeta, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
