Let's see if we can win or lose or lose or lose or lose or lose or lose before then.
Let's see if I can't accommodate that. Leoben returns two cards to the destiny deck, and then fires the Main Batteries at Sector 4! Everyone passes on interrupts.
Die roll: 3. Miss.
And that's the game, as the next crisis card is:
Analyse Enemy Fighter
Current Player's Choice
It has a raider activation, which means that - regardless of the outcome of the skill check - civilian ship B is about to be destroyed. It contains
2 Population.
Population falls to 0.
CYLONS WIN!

BSG (Leoben)
Well fought though you failed humans. I was on your side most of the time.
Thanks again for being a top-flight A#1 GM, billytea!
BSG (Cain)
Yeah, that was going to happen. Sigh. WE TRIED.
Well fought though you failed humans. I was on your side most of the time.
Did you win?

Did you win?
Leoben received 4 motive cards. He needs to have fulfilled at least 3 of them, at least 2 of which also match the winning team (here, the Cylons). He drew 2 Cylon motives and 2 human motives, so he had the capacity to win with either team. He did fulfil both his human motives. One required that at game end, he have at least 1 Yellow, 1 Purple and 1 Blue card in his hand. His final hand was:
Consolidate Power 2
Launch Scout 1
Strategic Planning 5
Repair 2
Jury Rigged 2
Violent Outbursts 4
The other human motive requires that Population be no higher than 6. He fulfilled that one easily.
Unfortunately, he fulfilled neither of the Cylon motives, which required a Morale of at least 3 and a Population of at least 4 respectively. Sadly, then, Leoben joins the humans in defeat.

Man, getting those Attack cards back-loaded like that was the real killer. (The Execution didn't help, but I'm not sure one Pilot could have helped enough.)
BSG (Toasty Hoshi)
Great game folks! And huge thanks to awesome Game Master BillyTea!
In case you were wondering, I was cylon from the start. At the turn, I got a second Cylon card (which I gave to Helo when I revealed).My goal was to use at least one, if not both nukes before revealing. But with no attack cards the first half of the game, it was proving very difficult. Finally had the chance, with my lovely reveal.
I'll leave the rest of the details to BillyTea, and his lovely post-mortem post (assuming he is doing one)

I will indeed be doing one, though it'll be a couple of days coming as the family Tea is currently at Phillip Island over Christmas. I will say that this game was wonderfully entertaining.
