I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

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

Chief Tyrol has drawn 1 Red and 1 Blue, then moved to the Resurrection Ship to draw a new Supr Crisis. His discarded Super Crisis is:

Bomb on Colonial One
Skill Check 15 PRB

That concludes his turn. Mr Zarek I'll send your card draw shortly. When you're ready please post your move and action.

Actually, that brings up a question, BT. I know if a human gets airlocked, the player can pick a new character. What happens if a Cylon gets airlocked? Do they still pick a new character, or do they automatically go to the Ressurection Ship?

I assume you mean in Pegasus, as there's no airlockimg in the base game. If a human gets airlocked, they pick a new character and the fleet loses 1 Morale. If a Cylon gets airlocked, they go to the Resurrection Ship and suffer two penalties: they lose all their Skill cards, and they don't draw a Super Crisis.

Bomb on Colonial One

Oh fer the luvva...

Okay, Team Human, I recommend we do not throw any cards at this. We'll lose 2 morale and I'll end up in Sickbay but I think that's an acceptable loss. Yes, we lose Colonial One, but hey, at least we deny Apollo the chance to go plead to the press corps too.

And someone please XO me when this is all done.

Don't think I don't appreciate your willingness to be blown up - I do - but that was the Super Crisis he discarded. He's drawn a replacement.

Oy. Such a choice. Human-type-people, do you think we could hit 13? I'm very tempted to suggest simply accepting the loss, and not risking DOUBLE the loss (and halving our food).

What say you good people?

Trying to blow 13 points worth of cards to miss -2 food when we can just accept -1? Not worth the cards.

Lose the one food. We want to save cards for when our lowest scores are targeted.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG

I agree. No point wasting a ton of cards to risk loosing 2 food. Take the -1 food hit and call it done.
