Flying Helmut

Paul "Tikkifriend" ran this game on Friday afternoon.
"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..................."
<<Monty Python 'British Officer'>> STOP IT, this is getting silly!
Alright, then......................
Colonial Scouts have stumbled across a Cylon listening Post on a small moon just beyond an asteroid belt.
'Galactica' has dispatched Vipers to destroy it, so that the Rag-Tag Colonial Fleet can pass by undetected.
276644
The moon looks quiet enough...........
276645
The Vipers rush in, before the Cylons can mount a defence..............
276646
..........but they are already here! Is there a Cylon loose in the Colonial Fleet?
276647
The Vipers attack regardless
276648
The flanking Vipers turn outward, to screen the central pair in their approach to the moon
276649
and one is separated from the other three and attacked by a Heavy Raider and a Scarred Raider
276650
The hotshot pilots get distracted from their mission, and engage the Cylon Raiders
276651
Having broken up the attacking formation, the Cylons set to work methodically taking down their human opponents
276652
all except for the one hideously disfigured Raider, who slips away into the asteroid field, on a mission of his own!
The Cylons exploit their positional advantage
276653
276654
The Heavy Raider destroys one Viper, as Cylon "Helmut" purues Lt. "Deadly M".........
276668
..........and his targeting is frighteningly accurate!
276670
"Deadly M" is now just, well, dead.............but so is "Helmut"'s wingman, destroyed by Lt."Hawkhurst". The remaining humans call in the two "Alert" Vipers to assist.
276671
The scarred Raider reaches his objective - and takes a selfie! :eek:
276673
Mission accomplished, he returns to the fray.
276674
Lt. "Hawkhurst" overshoots "Helmut", and the Vipers return to the mission objective, firing on the base on the moon.
276675
All vessels now converge on the moon - with the "Alert" Vipers behind him, Cylon "Helmut" performs an FTL jump, to try to get behind them instead...............
276676
...........but his damaged Raider reappears on the wrong facing, and he moves across the engine trails of his intended victims.
276677
The remaining Vipers, in desperation, declare ramming attacks against the base on the moon! :eek::eek::eek:
Paul, the GM, says "you'll hit on anything but double one" - guess what happened next! :)
276678
The Heavy Raider rams and destroys another Viper, and the game is over - the base is badly damaged, but it survives.
One Raider lost, against 5 Vipers..........CYLON VICTORY!
276679
The 'Galactica' will have to find another route to Earth.
