BSG: CIC

It's an older meme, sir, but it checks out.

Cylons are dependent on human condition level, so refer to those rules. They have no "spool up" otherwise, no need to arm weapons, etc. It's just whether or not they get the drop on the humans and have anything pre-deployed. When being attacked by humans the cylons are basically helpless since it's always treated as humans at condition 1. It's an incentive for humans to attack, although you'll find in the campaign that doing so is usually not worth the cost in manpower, resources, etc.

We have a discord server, sure. Check the - WARHAWK GAMES - link in any of my workshop uploads. It's a very small community though. I only just set it up and CIC was one of several games kicking around without publication until very, very recently.

And lastly, do you have any way of contact (eg.: discord) so in case of any more doubts I could ask there or even maybe organizing a game?

I see, looking foward to try it! I'm just curious about the state of the cylon when they attack or defend, I mean: do they always start like an equivelant of the human condition 3 or can they have cylons at the ready (just like would the colonials do before an assault with condition 1 minus the cap as they don't have it)?

Sorry for the delay in responding, and thanks for showing interest in the game! If there's anything else I can help you with, just let me know.

Rockets fired from fighters/Raptors are treated like guns in that they simply hit, never appearing on the board. Missiles which show up on the board are in two forms: Nuclear missiles fired by battlestars (which can steer) and conventional missiles fired by basestars (which cannot). Cylon missiles are placed only at the edge of the ship where the launchers are and can be pointed in any direction in that hex so long as it isn't directly backward into the ship itself. From that point on they only fly straight ahead, 6 hexes per turn. This results in firing arcs and blind zones for basestars, mainly so that there is a real benefit to knocking out a launcher and/or the rotational engine such that it can't maneuver properly for firing. Note that when launching missiles, this occurs during the capital ship's turn. Usually fighters go next, but if any missiles are in the air for that team, they move in between these two phases. Hence you launch and move missiles in the same overall turn.

Per the manual, ship placement is only limited by being in or outside the deployment zone, and the order of placement depends on the readiness level of the humans (CAP roll results and the resulting Condition level). Where you put the ships in/out of the zones and facing in what directions are entirely up to you. Usually a defender tries to stay as close to the middle of the board as possible, while an attacker will either be right up against the zone edge if aggressive, or near the board edge if conservative. But since the defender is usually Galactica (which can only launch fighters in one direction), and usually with civilian ships in tow (which need time/room to escape) the defender has reasons to be off-center. The cylons meanwhile can be blitzed with nukes if they stick too close to the center while on the attack.

Also, how should a missile behave and as per the launch of a missile from a fighter, should it be only controllabe after one turn? (assuming it behaves just like the nuke and it is a 3x thrust 1x manouvre)

Got a question while trying this, what should be the Cylon attacking stance while attacking other shio or being attacked in the first setup of the tactical map?
