Yes, in a surprisingly loud and high-pitched voice.

BSG

With no raiders in the air, we are better served shooting at those crystals with Galactica, not a viper. Viper needs a perfect roll, if memory serves correct, to score a hit. Only launch vipers when there are raiders near civvies.

I agree. I just wanted to know how frakked we are if those basestars do launch raiders. And it appears we're only half-frakked. But shooting at the basestars, either from Weapons Control, or with a nuke, is definitely our best option right now.

Lego Star Wars is on my Do Not Like list too. Lego Indiana Jones is way better.

We took LSW out of rotation, because as a game it's just "smash stuff into bits" for problem-solving. Although Mal and I did giggle ourselves into fits: we both became Jar-Jar and then threw ourselves off a cliff, over and over and over and over.

I'm going to draw two more Quorum cards.

Not BSG

I have Lego Batman for the DS. That thing is awesome. Trying to unlock the Huntress.

I'm looking forward to Lego Harry Potter though I doubt I'll be able to afford it.

BSG

Quorum Cards have been sent. Meanwhile, the fleet seems to be a bit ticked that they're under attack for the third jump in a row. You have:

Riots - A
Admiral's Choice

Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Don't you just hate it when some visionary upstart starts a kerfuffle amongst the civilians?

Laga--they should have some cool stuff in that, indeed. Wait till the price drops, or ask for gift cards.

BSG

ouch that's a tough choice. How much fuel do we need to make it all the way?

BSG

It depends. You need at least 1 Fuel at game end. You need to jump another 3 Distance (and make it through one more jump cycle). The most 3 Distance will cost you on the Destination cards is 3 Fuel. But you might overshoot and wind up travelling 4 or 5 Distance. Finally, of course, that doesn't count Fuel lost through Crisis Cards, losing ships or getting hit by basestars. (There's one civvie that loses Fuel, and one Galactica damage token that loses Fuel. There's also a civvie that loses Morale, and a damage token that loses Food.)

I actualy played a real-life 'at the table' game of BSG last night. I was the only person who'd played before and was helping the others to learn.

We spent the first third of the game (real time, not turns) involved in one massive space battle comprised of the initial force of Cylons plus two other Cylon attack cards. We used Communications effectively and had herded all EIGHT(!) civilian ships into sectors 4 & 5 with Raiders bearing down on us from both sides, vipers whittling at the raiders and Galactica suffering 3 damage (it takes 6 to destroy it).

We just managed to fix the FTL drive and jump out of there early, losing 1 population as opposed to the mass of ships we would have lost the next turn.

The rest of the game, there was only one other Cylon attack.

Still, the humans lost the game, losing their last point of morale just before they were to jump beyond the 7 distance they had covered.

The thing that really turned the balance of power was the Cylon Baltar who used the Resurrection Ship's power to give one of his other Loyalty cards to President Roslin turning her into a Cylon. She played a Quorum card that cost us our last Morale Point.

At the end of it all there were 4 Cylons - Boomer, Baltar, Tyrel & Roslin and 2 Humans - Apollo (comically) and Tigh (played by me, natch).

BT, I have a question; has there been much discussion about the Resurrection Ship's power? It seems insanely powerful to pick a probable human player and instantly turn them Cylon. I just can't imagine winning a game when the humans are outnumbered two to one.
