[Davio]

Well, I'm just glad I saved IW for an occasion such as this.
This was a tough one.

[Grujah]

We have some moderately important centurion shots/nukes/etc. coming up, which now I suspect we can't plan. I could've done a bit more if I had to. So I'm not terribly thrilled, but I guess it beats failing...

Yeah, that bothered me a bit too. I hope Baltar with use some force to deal with cents, finally.

[theorel]

If I can get it...it's slow going when everyone's dealing with space-stuff.

[Tables]

Sorry for the delay. Busy week (if you take busy to mean, lots of leisure activities planned).

Check Fails, Iron Will prevents anything happening.

Post crisis: Raiders activate and move, jump prep.

Adama draws 3 LEA, 2 TAC

[Davio]

Nuke time?

[WinterSpartan]

If we have a plan... We really want to get both of the basestars, which requires an 8. I can't plan.

[theorel]

So, anybody have a strategic planning?

[Davio]

I might, but I could also use it for a check as it's a pretty high value one.

[WinterSpartan]

Use it on the nuke imo.

[Grujah]

I think that that Centurion is a much larger problem.

[WinterSpartan]

We've drawn almost the whole quorum deck, so Baltar should be able to deal with the centurion soon. It's also 4 activations away, while the basestars are in theory only 3 activations away from destroying Galactica. If the centurion is killed before it kills us, there are no lasting effects; if the basestars do damage before being destroyed/neutralized, that has lasting negative effects. Basestars are a bigger problem.

Unless Baltar is a Cylon.
You might be right, dunno.
I'm OK with the nuke.

[theorel]

I guess that makes sense to me.  Basestars are more dangerous than skill checks generally speaking.  Better to destroy them and fail a skill check, than pass a skill check and get blown up by basestars.

[Davio]

Ok, nuke time!
# Play TAC-5 (Strategic Planning)
# Launch nuke into sector 1

1-2 = Damage a basestar twice
3-6 = Destroy a basestar
7 = Destroy a basestar and 3 raiders
8 = Destroy every ship (human and Cylon) in the space area

Throw die, add 2 to result:

Rolled 1d8 : 7, total 7

[Davio]

Result is thus 9, KABOOOOOOM!

[Jorbles]

noooooo, my basestars!

[WinterSpartan]

Ladies and gentlemen of the press, as you can see by the impressive radioactive glow outside the windows, our admiral has just destroyed the bulk of the local cylon fleet. This is in no small part thanks to the excellent planning that went into the operation. No, no, don't all thank me at once; I merely do my duty.

[Tables]

There's no result for a 9, nothing happens.[/trollmod]

Also guys... does the spreadsheet even say anywhere how many nukes there are? Has it been missing all this time or am I now being blind? Ugh, enough leaving you guys thinking I might be incompetent, I'll just distract you with some pretty lights and a crisis.

CRISIS: The Passage

Current Player Chooses:
Skill check: TAC/PIL/ENG = 14
PASS: +1 Jump Prep
FAIL: Destroy 2 civilian ships.

OR

Roll a die. If 6 or lower, the current player is sent to Sickbay.

POST CRISIS: Activate Raiders, +1 Jump Prep

[theorel]

Oh hey, finish off an awesome roll with a jump prep bonus.  The cylons don't really stand a chance here.

[WinterSpartan]

I hope you're correct. Before we choose the check, though, can we do this? I'm absolutely no help at all. Looks like it's mostly up to Apollo and Baltar's engineering. Or we have to roll a die.

[Grujah]

I'm kinda useless in that check

[theorel]

Ah, I hadn't considered that we couldn't pass the check.  I can contribute some...

[WinterSpartan]

Unless your "some" and one card from Boomer (remembering that there's still another Cylon out there) is enough, it doesn't sound like we can do this. If that's true, I'd rather Adama in sickbay than two destroyed civilians. I advise against the check.

[theorel]

Well, you're ignoring the admiral's contribution.  But chances are that that isn't sufficient to put it over the edge.
