Thread: The Hand of God Scenario

  1. #1

    Default The Hand of God Scenario

    We played this one from the Scenarios booklet last night. Windy Jack and Mark flew for the Colonial Fleet and Biggles Downunder and I flew for the Cylons. It was Marks first BSG game and he loved it. The game took about one hour to complete.

    "A planetoid full of tyllium, the precious ore needed to fuel the Colonial fleet, has been discovered, but it is being mined by Cylons. Commander Adama decides to take the planetoid by force. In the ensuing actions, Vipers sent from the Galactica face off against the Raiders from the Cylon base."

    Although the Vipers scored a lot of hits on the Cylons the Cylons emerged victorious. Well done Wayne (Biggles Downunder) for scoring two victories despite colliding with the main planetoid twice!

    Eagle eyed forum members will notice the use of Baxter’s nifty little laser thingy to check arcs of fire in the first photo!

    It projects a straight line rather than the usual red dot.

    They are very good Wayne. I have been using them for a year or so in both my Sails AARs and WoG.

    Thanks for sharing the pics Baxter, looks like you guys had a great game, and even though the Vipers both went down without any loss to the Cylons, it still looked like a very close game in terms of damage done...the Raider was very lucky to draw two 0's for the collisions!

    Yeah, I've had one of those laser lines for a couple of years, they're fantastic for all table top war gaming!

    Thank you for the good A.A.R., Gary. When we played the 'Hand of God' scenario at my local games club, the result was the same - both Vipers were destroyed. I think that Vipers cannot simply slug it out with the Cylon Raiders, they have to use superior manoeuvrability to avoid being hit.

    I’m guessing you’re talking about something like this: https://www.miniaturemarket.com/amytl5016.html. Great little product. So much better than pointers.
