@Hououza I am not aware of any bug with player tokens. If you want to join the group chat I can try to help. https://s.team/chat/UIQis5eA

Current version seems not to spawn player tokens. Are we doing something wrong or is this a bug?

@Glentopher Scripting it to have one card in the top 10 might be tricky. I can't recall exactly how the cards are tagged but I think there is just a single descriptor for the crisis from each expansion. You could possibly tag that one as a separate card and then always chose were it goes. Since that would possibly make the scripting more brittle in a general case, I encourage you to give it a shot. If you want any help you can reach me in the chat group for this mod. The link is above in the description.

Yeah I did think that. But i think the bits could be cut out of it to a degree. or just covered up.It is very cool I have a Neoprene mat made from it and it's fantastic.

Also my friends and i do a house rule where we shuffle the "Reuniting the fleet" card in to the top 10 cards of the crisis deck and have Pegasus board face down. And flip it up when that crisis comes out, how easy is that to script in do you think, i was thinking of having a try.

The rule means early on you can't just used Peg as a damage sink, and i think it works pretty nicely.

@Glentopher This board works for this mod because it can be dynamically changed based on the expansions used. I believe I know of the map you are talking about. The art is amazing but I believe it is a fixed feature map. At this time it would be overly difficult to incorporate such a map.

This is really cool. Wondering if the torn board youve used is on purpose or just the only image you could get? Because there's an excellent fan made board / matt image with all the expansions you could use .

@Orsmab: That worked. Thanks. I recommended this to my friends. We like Battlestar, but it's out of print, and we start to see wear and tear on my game.

The other Battlestar mods on Tabletop are too disorganized for me. This one is perfect. Can't wait to try.

Hi @Reffy. You can test it as a single player by not selecting the number of players and double clicking start at the last menu. This will set you up with a 3 player game. When you are selecting characters, it will tell you what color that you need to switch to. I just tested a Daybreak-only game and I received the correct number of loyalty cards (6). If you look in the chat log the game will tell you exactly which types of cards went into the loyalty deck. Can you let me know what it says there for you? The formulas for the loyalty decks have been working for many years so I would be surprised if a bug has cropped up. Please let me know and I will fix it immediately.

I would like to test this first, before I'm going to play with my friends.

I own the board game and all expansions, but with Corona virus going on, people want to stay at home.

Can I play this in single player? I can't just gather 3 people to test this.
Reffy 15 Apr, 2020 @ 12:47pm 
When I play with 3 players, the loyalty deck contains 8 cards. It should be 6, according to the Daybreak rules.

This is without Gaius (political) and Boomer.
