I'm curious how New Crapica crisises act in regards to cylon fleet activation. Basically I'm wondering if there are any NC crisis that put ships in a position to attack the Galactica, as when I played last time it seemed there wasn't and essentially the fleet gets a free ride once it's off the ground.

I may have missed something. We also made an error and didn't realize that an infiltrating leader would still be infiltrating on Galactica.

Oops, an additional question. The hotshot ability that allows you to use the strength of a card in lew of a dice roll. Can you use this in combination with strategic planning or calculation?

There are no New Caprica Crisis cards which will add ships so no extra ships will be added after Galactica returns that way.

However, did you remember to set up the starting Cylon ships for when Galactica returns? (Like on pg. 17)

There are a handfull of ways for extra Cylon ships to get on the board. First ships can get launched from the basestars. Also, if a Cylon had been hoarding a Super Crisis with a Cylon Attack, they could make it on the board that way. Finally Cavil can use Primacy to get extra ships on the board.

Per the latest FAQ: no you can not.

Since Kat is not actually rolling a die, it is not considered a die roll.

Thank you kindly! Foolish me missing the Basestar set up.
