Oh, wow. What a finish! They don't get any tighter than that. Commiserations to team Human. You played a solid game, I really thought you were going to make it. Those last two crises in a row were just terrible luck, and with Destiny double negative for both of them. If you'd had the Jump Failure before the Unidentified Ship, you'd have pulled it off.
Apollo! We shall raise a glass together of that thing you like. Victory has fallen into our laps. When you revealed, I thought our best shot was going to be through attack cards, since only Helo was left to manage piloting duty. In the end, it was the loss of Purple, Red and Blue skill cards that did them in.
Many thanks to omnis for running this game, you did a stellar job. I like the write-up at the end. What was the next Crisis? Oh, and where was Raiding Party? Was it coming up?

Billytea, for future reference, can you send me the files I need to run the next iteration?

Thanks all for your patience, with my first foray into GMing, and battling the nuances of the tracking spreadsheet.
Next was BOMB THREAT
Raiding Party was buried in 4.2. It would take 15 turns for it to come up. Boarding Parties by you in round 6.
There were only 7 scouting missions that buried crisis cards. Cylons buried 6 while choosing one of two cards to play. I think if team human had done more scouting missions, it might have won.
Billytea, for future reference, can you send me the files I need to run the next iteration
I can send you the current one. I've done some set up so there is some automation for end of turn wrap ups, as those were the most time consuming.

I can indeed, I'll do so tonight (hopefully). You have a choice of files. I set up an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of the game. It's basically manual, but pretty reliable. Then there's the OpenOffice spreadsheet set up for use on boardgamegeek. A lot of it's automated, and it generates a full game record. It is more complicated though, and can be difficult to work with at times. I can send you either or both.
BSG
Thanks both of you. Please send whatever you have. When the time comes, I'll probably have the actual board set up as a double check for either.

Yes, this! I highly recommend this, either way.

Great game everyone. I really didn't think team Cylon was going to pull that one out. It was about as tight as can be.
BSG
How many cylon victories does that make here?
BSG
It's currently Cylons 3, Humans 1. This one was easily the closest.
