Ok I'm just going to try baby steps here. Activate Hangar Bay to launch self in Assault Raptor to Charlie North Launch unmanned Viper into Bravo North Play Executive Orders on PMush I think this is all ok  Podima, if I can't specify which part of Bravo/Charlie to launch into or if I screwed up that card play then let me know. I'm trying my best to understand the rule pdf but it's complicated and I don't want to hold the game up by being confused.Some Numbers posted:Your's. You picked Starbuck. Deal with it. I just wanted to get drunk and flip off Colonel Tigh

Some Numbers posted:You can look at the reference in Podima's second or third post and find the text of those cards. They're not relevant right now. Ah, this was really confusing me. Thank you! Some Numbers posted:Also, make sure you know what your loyalty card means. Ask Podima if you don't. I know what not being a cylon is, thank you very much

There's only one part of each sector and you can only launch into Echo and Foxtrot.

One caveat is that you can only launch yourself and unmanned Vipers into FOXTROT or ECHO - no worries on mixing that one up, as it's much more visible on the actual board, and is not very clear when just reading the rules. Another option when activating an unmanned Viper is to move one that's already in space to an adjacent sector - for example, moving the one in ECHO back to DELTA to screen the civilian ships that are there, as I think someone else suggested. Otherwise everything in your actions is legal, albeit the standard way to denote your Official Actions is using the ##action syntax. It's also useful to say the card number along with the name, as both LEA-1 and LEA-2 Executive Orders exist and some insane people try to card-count. If you can confirm what sector you'd like to launch into (FOXTROT or ECHO) and what you'd like to do with your unmanned Viper activation, we should be good to move forward!  Again, don't worry, you're not holding the game up or goofing anything up.

One thing nobody actually mentioned yet is that there are three types of Vipers: Regular Vipers, you have 5 of them (2 are already launched at game start), when being attacked they are damaged on a roll of 5-7 and outright destroyed on a roll of an 8 using an 8-sided die. Viper MkVIIs, you have 3 of them, when being attacked they are damaged on a 6-7 and destroyed on an 8, and they can move 2 spaces instead of just 1 when moving. Assault Raptors (which still count as Vipers), for reference, are outright destroyed on a 7-8, and can stay in space when the fleet jumps (everything else is removed from the board, your Vipers land back in Galactica). You only have 1, but there are cards/events that can give you additional ones. Rarity, what kind of Viper would you like to launch with your CAG action? The default is probably a MkVII, but I figured this would be a good opportunity to go over the different types. By the way, there's a nifty table in the reference posts that outlines the differences between the different ships.

For future reference, XO may not have been the best move, but I was probably the best choice. XOing "backwards" like that means that if whoever you reveal goes "HAHAHA I AM A ROBOT", then people have time to react before their turn comes up. That being said, I guess I'll jump on the guns. ##action Move to Weapons Control and pew pew at the Basestar ##play Tac-4 StratPlan  Die, toasters, die!

Rarity posted:What does rolling for DEFCON mean? To answer this, we're playing under a specific set of rules called DEFCON. Basically, at the conclusion of each turn, Podima rolls an 8 sided die. If the roll is less than the current DEFCON number, DEFCON degrades by 1 and we draw a normal Crisis. If the roll is greater than or equal to the current DEFCON number, the CAG (that's you!) draws two Cylon Attack Cards (CAC for short) and chooses one to resolve. I hope you're ready. (If CAG gets too stressful for you, you are allowed to use one CAG Action to give it away. Make sure you give it to someone you trust.)

Sorry about the delay! Starbuck chomps down on a cigar and launches her new shiny Assault Raptor into space, ordering a nugget out after her in a boring old Viper! She (LEA-1 XO) radios in for Gaeta to get a move on, those toasters won't explode themselves! Gaeta catches a quick shuttle over to Pegasus, and coordinates a strategic assault on the Basestar in your airspace! 1d8+2=4+2=6! ONE HIT! WEAPONS DISABLED! DEFCON Check: 1d8=6! DEFCON decreases by 1 to 6.  While she's patrolling, someone radios Starbuck about a secret poker game scheduled for later! Will she try to coordinate extra patrols to cover her absence, or just drag someone else along to play cards for a bit? quote:CRISIS: Secret Meetings Action Queue: ==> Rarity (CAG Starbuck): Crisis Decision

So! Skill Checks. Remember how I said your cards aren't relevant? Well, now they are. Each card has a skill type (POL/LEA/TAC/PIL/ENG/TRE) and a value (0-5? 6?). If you choose the Skill Check, we will all play any number of cards facedown. Those cards will be combined with two "random" cards and then tallied. The types listed count as positive, all other count as negative. If the final total equals or exceeds the target number (9, in this case), we get the PASS effect. If the total is lower, we get the FAIL effect. Or you can choose the OR and take a Mutiny card. Mutiny cards generally have two effects, one that's beneficial and one that's less so. If you ever have two Mutiny cards, you are immediately sent to the Brig. This is bad.

Some Numbers posted:Those cards will be combined with two "random" cards and then tallied. It is worth expanding on this - at the start of a game, 2 cards from each deck (including the Bad Skill Card Deck, Treachery - which counts as negative for nearly all checks and does mean stuff besides) are shuffled together to form the Destiny Deck. This is meant to represent your destiny toying with your fate - sometimes in your favor, sometimes not. Two cards from this deck are added facedown to each skill check - this creates uncertainty and makes it difficult to figure out who might have played what. Once the Destiny Deck is emptied (after 6 Skill Checks) it's rebuilt with another 2 cards from each deck.

I like the OR in this case, since none of us have a lot of cards to throw around l think. What about you guys, anyone feeling confident?
