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

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?
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.

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

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.

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.

How many cylon victories does that make here?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

All but one, I think.

It's currently Cylons 3, Humans 1. This one was easily the closest.

A little more detail: The first game went for 53 turns; the Cylons won on Population. The second game was 39 turns long, and Fuel was the culprit that time. Game 3 took 33 turns for the humans to win. Finally, this game took 50 turns and was another Population victory for the Cylon master race.
