I just noticed reading the preview. One of the pictures showed a pilot marker for Luanne "Kat" Katrraine. So now we have four confirmed sharacters, two cylon leaders, one military leader, and one pilot. Any thoughts on who the the other three might be?

Another question is what is the Cylon token that is the size of a pilot token for? Could it be the famous raider Scar? Would they give Cylon player access to something like that?

Of course, the problem with it being Scar is that we have to remember the episode "Scar"

Could be. It does look like a raider now that I take a closer look. No scar though. And neither of the cylon leaders shown can draw piloting cards so it would have to have some other kind of advantage. Maybe increased attack rolls or lower rolls against it?

Well, I mean he was having a run up until that point This game sorta run alternative universes in the super string theory sense so, hey, maybe he lived to fight another day?

Yeah, I'm so happy that they're making Kat. I hope she's exactly like the one homeade Kat character, cause that one is fun, balanced, and very fitting for Kat.

Other's that I'm really hoping for: KENDRA SHAW PLEASE! Also, Gaeta, Dee, Cally and Anders. And Cylon Leaders of D'Anna Biers and Leoben, would top my list. Yes I realize that is more than 3.

Do you mean the one that has the Brash, determined, and stim junkie skills/disadvantage? She's pretty good though I don't see how her once per game can be used by a cylon. It does fit her pretty well though.
And I agree, way too many good characters left for me to be completely happy. Personally my top four are Geatea, Dee, Cally, and Billy.

I'm pretty excited to see Kat. I would guess that our last "human" character would have to be Political in some sense, as Cain is Miitary and Kat is obvously a Pilot. This preserves the play ratio by type, though I wouldn't object to a second support character. I do wish we were getting a few more choices instead of just 6.

Yep thats definitely a scare token. My best guess would be that its part of a failed crisis.

Place the scar token under one raider. all attacks against this raider are minus three, and this raider attacks at plus one.

Anders is a pretty major character that needs to show up but I don't really want two new pilots.

Geta is way cooler then Dee, but that gives us a military leader, unless hes support in a weird way.

The only political leader out there is Tory, and shes so lack luster. I mean theres Billy too, but hes not around for ever.

I definitly think there will be at least one more Cylon Leader. most likly Diana because shes WAY more important then Leoben.

Keep in mind, that during this time Ander's is the Leader of the Resistance. It's possible that you could construe this as a Political Leader, in that Zarek was the leader of the prisoners.

Although what you said makes sense, never in the show is Anders even on colonial one, or even really talk about politics. He's much more of a military leader of the resistance then political. Can you see anders running for office, or giving speeches? It just doesn't fit with the increadable accurate game so far.

he's my favorite though, it would make a lot of sense to have him be just like helo: Military leader thats got piloting cards. But well see.

(Just thinking out loud.)

I see him getting blue cards, rather than red, considering in the series he doesn't touch a viper until long after New Caprica. Of course, Helo never flew Vipers at all, and he got red cards - in fact, he didn't even fly Raptors, he sat in the back, so I guess we shouldn't expect the expansion to be totally story-accurate either. I would support the inclusion of Anders, but since we've already got both a Pilot and Military Leader confirmed in the game, I don't think there'll be room for him in either position (political leader is a pretty big stretch, story-wise, and I think "support" is out because he's definitely a leader)

My guess is Gaeta as a Support character, Tory as a Political Leader (I know a lot of people aren't thrilled about this idea, but I can't think of any other available option), and either Leoben or Deanna Biers as a third Cylon Leader to round out the 7 new characters.
