re: Could Colonials still beat Cylons w/out sneak attack in BSG? Newer series.

Assuming the analyst back door didn’t work, I still see the attack succeeding simply because having the eight models embedded in Colonial society plus the ability to repeatedly nuke the planets until most Colonials died off is still a feasible strategy.


Compromising the Colonial defenses like they did raises the success level greatly but the actual colonies still would have been fricked. It would have been a matter of “how much larger would the convoy have been” and “how many Battlestars and Vipers still get wiped out?”
