Battlestar Galactica - a late game report!

The whole collective gathered at Steedo's 5 nights ago for a play through of the classic treachery game of Battlestar Galactica - with the Pegasus expansion (and probably a couple of other extra bits - just because we like to challenge ourselves. The colonials having only once before won - the Cylons winning on the several other occasions. Steedo picked Apollo, DK was Tigh, Sylon Hotdog, Snake-eyes Commander Adama (Admiral) and my good self Zarek (el President). Cylon cards were dealt and the game was a foot.
The first turn threw up a fairly easy check - which we inexplicably failed - there was some treachery already - was it Snake-eyes, Sylon or Steedo ..... Only time would tell.

The game moved on with us generally passing tests and getting closer to earth - the Cylon fleet board was always a concern but we managed to just stay ahead of any attacks and we're lucky that only one heavy raider was activated all game. New Cylon cards were dealt and as I was not happy with the fleet management I took the decision to bring the military and civilian branches of government together with Tom Zarek as Supreme Leader (sounds a bit Cylon ...) Admiral/President, which did turn out to be an almost good move, as Adama (Snake-eyes) revealed himself to be a Cylon and attempted to thwart the plucky colonials .....

However the Cylon fleet activated and caught some of the civilian ships in the open unprotected by Apollo .... Causing the fuel and something else go to zero and it was the end of the road for humanity! This was when Steedo revealed his sneaky and duplicitous nature of being a Cylon.
So another win to the Cylons - aka Snake-eyes and Steedo - who claimed to have only Cylons from the second dealing of cards. I had my suspicions of Snake-eyes hence my taking of the Admiral card, but Steedo put a lot of miss direction Sylon's way (name doesn't help), but he didn't put up enough of a counter case!
So to pay back Steedo's deviousness a picture to show he can't pour a pint .... Perhaps the Cylons signs were there along.
