    So, you haven't seen, or didn't like, this:

    Battlestar Galactica Turn Summary V3.6.1

    PS: When planning, before setting the maneuver type (FTL, >>>, >>, >, □, <) on the control panel: check for G rating and Acceleration limits. Don't wait until after the control panel is revealed and the player has planned an illegal move.

    Before revealing Control Panels, reveal any Blanks, then return it to your maneuver deck.

    FTL:
    If Using FTL in a game, the Control Panel is revealed before any cards (other than the blank above). Follow the below steps:

    Once the Control Panel is revealed, and the player has indicated his maneuver type, set the 'current Kinetic Energy for the turn. With no Overboost card, Change Direction card, or having used a Blank, the player is going 3 or less. With an Overboost, a minimum of 4. All shooting in the current turn uses the current KE setting. The KE setting never changes after the reveal in a given turn. Remember the previous turn's KE number for any Drift in the First Movement Step.

    Before revealing any maneuver cards, declare any FTL jumps, and resolve them. It is important that nobody reveals their maneuver cards before determining the results of the FTL jumps, so the 'jumper' isn't provided with clues on how to position his/her ship.

    First Movement Step: Only reveal the first movement card (Overboost) or change direction card. Do not reveal any second movement card in the first step! This is important for determining whether or not a player will fire in the First Firing Step, or the Second. Without knowing what the second maneuver card is, the opponent won't know if the target is closing, moving away, or perhaps move out of firing arc. When using the Change Direction card, Drift is calculated using the previous turn's KE, not the current turn!

    No FTL:
    Note: Really, I use the above process, regardless.

    Once Blanks are revealed and put away, reveal the first maneuver card and the Control Panel, adjust KE.

    Commence with First Movement Step

    I found the sequence we did at York easier for explaining to New players. The steps are taken from the rule book.

    That said I'll check the FTL section.

    The Cylon that FTL IN will already have their CP set to FTL.

    I'M not allowing, yet, Cylon a 2nd FTL move once on the table.
    See you on the Dark Side......

    Read the FTL section. Now I realise why I didn't add it, not using it tonight. When we do use it it will be to get the Cylon on the table, surprise move. I'll add in more FTL as we go along.

    The drift tool explanation I have put down is correct if you follow the steps. I will verbally explain the kinetic energy and how to use drift tool.

    This sheet is for me to use not the players, it will serve as a quick reminder sheet for me, hence the sheet I will be using for tonight's game.

    I have 1 player with vascular dimentia, 1 with ADHT and a 3rd with MND. Giving the first 2 a quick sheet to use would just add too many complications.

    Not that I hadn't seen your quick sheet it's just not usable for some of the players.

    PS: I'll let you know how I get on and any amendments required.
    See you on the Dark Side......
