Battlestar Galactica 21 - Blackjack in Casino Royale

Sorry for my absence, yesterday was a busy day with work stuff, then family stuff in the evening. @soondifferent I have a clarification PM for you.

Doh, sorry, 2 cards instead of 3 @CraigM

The attrition of the fighter wing did not just mean machinery, it was also the people flying them. Each new attack made the next one harder to repel. Normally flight squadrons would have 1000 hours of time together before they would be considered combat ready. Now they were lucky to have a dozen hours in classrooms and simulators before being thrust into the real deal.

All that made it so that each time they took to the skies the odds of accidents went up. Now, with their last currently functional birds in the air, their dice came up snake eyes. Starbuck was instructing an evasive maneuver when the nugget mixed starboard and port…

Which fortunately Starbuck was the best pilot in the history of Galactica, she managed to avoid the colision while nudging the nugget just enough so they avoided their other wingman.


Skill cards

Leadership 3DE, 4RO, 4AAC, 5DE
Piloting 0PtF, 2EM, 3MF
+21
Tactics 2LS
Treachery 1BYC
-3

Total +18, pass. BYC does not activate. PtF does. @soondifferent?

Better safe than sorry in this case.

Yup. Let’s activate the viper in 4 and try and finish off the raider.

Roll 7, sector clear.

Basestars attack

Rolls 2, 8

@soondifferent place the damage

Normally we’d lay it on Pegasus, but there’s a 1/3 chance that we would put Helo in Cottles happy fun land and cost us 4 cards. On the other hand an Ftl hit would be bad. Taking suggestions.

Helo is on Colonial One after his last trip to the doctor

Yep, Pegasus is fine, hopefully not cic

Pft. Sorry been scatterbrained. Pegasus it is.

Not CiC, instead the Engine Room

With the pursuit board we hardly get the the luxury of calibrating engines anyway, so not terrible.

@jeffreyb?

xo 1 @Jorn_Weines

I can launch some Vipers escort a lot of Civvies, sound good?

All our vipers are already in space. Maybe repair some of the new ones?

Or something like with a dice roll since we are on my turn

Would be good to get rid of that heavy.

If there is no repair or something else usefull an attack would be good on the basestar or heavy.

Guess you would like to stay on Galactica so that could be with weapons.

Can’t look in the your hand though. Scouting is fine also

Ah, they are all launched. Nothing useful in my hand, then.

I will move to Weapon Control and shoot the Heavy in 4 @CraigM.

I will sp3 on the roll, if it fails reroll
