Battlestar Galactica 19: Operation Airlift

I think what you guys are trying to say is that humanity won, right? Right??

I think there’s only one thing to do right now. Move to 1, Move 3’s viper to 2, escort 1’s civvie. If raiders activate, move them to the sacrificial lamb in 6, rowe.
Ok, it’s not the only thing, but it’s a thing that might let us focus on less of the board, depending on what mister Lee does.

Ok, Kat puts herself into a position of dying to save the civvies.

Galactica Falling Apart

@Otthegreat you get a free card, @jeffreyb you start, if Ot opts for the check.

Morale, how original.
Honestly, let’s starve, not even worth messing with the odds.

I’ll take Tactics. And I agree, let’s just go for the roll.

Yep, kill the food!

We never lost…uhh…won on food before!

The humans will not die of starvation.

Yet.

Roll 7.

Raider activations:

4 in 5 move to 6. 6 activates, civvie down -1 pop. 1 raider moves to 1.

Raiders in 1 activate. Rolls 4,2.

Raiders in 2 activate. Rolls 1,7. Viper down.

@jeffreyb your card. And your action, since I expect I know what it will be.

i get two cards right? 2 treachery if that is possible

There are two civvies in 2 right? and two raiders?
If so, i will activate raiders

I will activate two first

If there are no more civvies then the raiders in 6 will fire on galactica? (i think perky escorted the one remaining civvie in 1)

There are three civvies in 2.

So, with no air support, pick top, middle , or bottom

top and the middle one

Instructions sent, sir.

None could blame the Admiral, and in the end the President had been right, even if unpopular at times.

But the Cylons proved relentless, their fleets dogged. Yet until the end the Admiral stood in the face of danger. Wave after wave, without hesitation. The sole force willing to stand between the civilians and destruction.

But the loose human fleet could not all be guarded by a single person, not without concentrating in one spot. So one by one they got picked off. Each an island of humanity washed away by an uncaring universe blowing with metallic winds. Even then they stood a chance, those few left alive. But each new resource loss stung more deeply than the last. Human bodies and human minds can only last so long, and those threatened to break multiple times. But that would not be their doom. The longer they ran, the more it was apparent, machines can only run so far too.

So it was with the destruction of the Tylium Titan, the last human refinery in the galaxy, that there would be no salvation. That they lacked the resources to even try and jump. Without topping off none but Galactica would have enough to start the FTL.

So she did.

As she vanished into the void, to be a spectre of revenge perhaps one day, the few human ships left behind watched as the darkness swallowed their hopes. There fires of hope burned dim, and the wolves looked oh so hungry around them…


The top ship was -1pop -1 fuel. And, at 1 fuel and the next crisis having raider activation, that will be it. If the raiders managed to not destroy the last population, the lack of fuel would on the jump.

Well played Cylons, the galaxy is yours @soondifferent @jeffreyb

Boooooooooooo to Apollo for not giving me that 2nd Cylon card, if indeed he had both! What a crazy game…

He did. Which was hilarious when you and soon were playing the ‘No, YOU’RE the Cylon’ game.

Well he started it! That early brigging ended up helping him in the 2nd half obviously - the endless talk about collusion with the Cylons threatened to tarnish my presidential legacy. I had to react!

Congrats on the most accusatory game of BSG I’ve ever seen.

Good game Cylons!

Haha yeah this was a really fun one.

I have always kind of wondered why there weren’t more early game speculative executions so this game was strategically fascinating to me on top of the rest of the awesomeness!

Sequel!

More post game talk when I am home but good game everyone! And thanks for hosting with usual style Craig!
