Yet another BSG Post (shorter, I promise)

6 games in and it is still impossible for me to be a cylon.

This last game I played had a complete Cylon come from behind and win scenario.

Up until the sleeper phase, things were going swimmingly for the humans. No cylons were revealed, and not only were all resources in the blue, but thanks to my inspirational speeches and food rationing as president, some resources were actually higher than normal.

Sleeper phase hits and one of our brood gets turned into a cylon. The other reveals quickly thereafter. Thats when things start to go downhill.

The two cylons recognized something right off the bat: they were both our engineers (Tyrol and Boomer). So they set about the ingenious strategy of activating the Human Fleet location to damage Galactica turn after turn. Now, this would've been hard to repair even if we had engineers in the party. But we were reduced to Tigh standing on the research lab, and me executive ordering him to get engineering cards.

But it gets more ingenious. For each of their two card draws, they drew engineering cards, and kept the repair cards. Not only that, but the Human Fleet location lets the cylons choose a player and take one of their cards. So we were effectively denied engineering cards completely.

I'll need to remember that strategy.
