Going to assume you meant a MKVII since that's all you have left in the reserves.

Hoshi launches a Viper MKVII into ECHO!
Unmanned MKVII attacks a Raider in ECHO, d8 = 1, MISS!

DEFCON decreases to 10!

It's a potential game ender; do we do this in turn order? Also now is the time for pre-check cards etc.

Suppose thats a good idea. I'll wait a bit for interrupts.

Unless someone else wants to put in more pre-check cards, we can start playing in, starting with Starbuck. Let's put in some CO's so we can move this along a little bit.

I know I got a bit lazy towards the end, sorry for that. This is a fine example of exactly how horribly wrong everything can go in this board game.

Yeah. Always hard for the humans to win a game that starts out with two cylons, especially when one is the Pres. This game has felt pretty anti-climactic for about a month now though.

Good game!

To be fair, with your resources where they were, getting to the end of the game was going to take copious and extraordinary amounts of luck and coordination on humanity's side, and really bad luck on the robot side. You guys ground it out for a good long time.

The moment the Fuel reserves got far out of whack with the remaining travel distance is where the game became nearly impossible to win for the humans. But then they just wouldn't die and even survived the 1 in 5 chance of hitting that empty Civ :argh:

Thanks for playing everyone, and especially thanks to Friction for hosting!
