I propose changing the "Result" in the info box from "Pyrrhic Colonial victory" to simply "Colonial victory." (1) The overall Colonial mission objective was fulfilled (delivery of Dr. Kelly to her rendezvous location). Granted, the spec ops team had already been eliminated, but Dr. Kelly was able to continue on her way to continue her mission. (2) Colonial losses were Raptor 909, a small, older battlestar, almost all of its spacecraft complement, and associated crew. Cylon losses were a basestar, which was much, much larger than the Osiris, and, presumably, all of its complement of raiders and any other ships. Sure, it's sad and tactically significant to lose even a small basestar and other craft and personnel, but that hardly makes a victory "Pyrrhic." If there's no significant opposing view over the next few days, I'll change the result. [[User:Holy|Holy]] 13:33, 14 February 2013 (EST) | |||

Pyrrhic victory?
I propose changing the "Result" in the info box from "Pyrrhic Colonial victory" to simply "Colonial victory." (1) The overall Colonial mission objective was fulfilled (delivery of Dr. Kelly to her rendezvous location). Granted, the spec ops team had already been eliminated, but Dr. Kelly was able to continue on her way to continue her mission. (2) Colonial losses were Raptor 909, a small, older battlestar, almost all of its spacecraft complement, and associated crew. Cylon losses were a basestar, which was much, much larger than the Osiris, and, presumably, all of its complement of raiders and any other ships. Sure, it's sad and tactically significant to lose even a small basestar and other craft and personnel, but that hardly makes a victory "Pyrrhic." If there's no significant opposing view over the next few days, I'll change the result. Holy 13:33, 14 February 2013 (EST)
