Cally fires at the raiders in Sector 3!

Die roll: 7. 4 raiders destroyed! Wait, there are only 3 there. I guess that'll have to be no effect then. What do you think, no effect? Yes? ...No? Spoilsports. Ok, all the raiders in Sector 3 are destroyed by Cally's withering fire.

You know, that was all just a bit one-sided. When you fire the Main Batteries, you're supposed to have a chance of taking out a viper, or even a civvie. Doesn't work if there are no civvies there. I think we should do something about that, don't you? Cally's Crisis is:

Thirty Three
Cylon Attack

Raiders get their marching orders, those that are left anyway. The new basestar stays out of it, you already have two. Wouldn't be sporting. You get the new civvies though.

That concludes Cally's turn. Anders is next, and will draw 1 Piloting for his optional draw. Mr Anders, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Cylon Attack

ARE YOU FRAKKING KIDDING ME.

On the upside, there aren't a lot of Raiders, but daaaaamn, that's a lot of civvies.

They'd never seen the main batteries being fired before. Civvies always come out for a show.

Our wings are not tired

BSG

Well at least we got 3 taken out. It was the best possible outcome of firing the main batteries.

BSG

Yeah, good shootin', Tex. Is the admiral still counting up points for the Pegasus, even though she's not on it anymore? 'Cause even banged up, the Pegasus is winning.

What next? I could take to the skies, although it would take a little maneuvering to get shooting. Or I could XO you to take some more potshots; still got targets out there. I could do the same with Cain, but won't for safety.

I'm happy to take more shots. It's on the risky side unless someone can modify the dice roll since low rolls result in friendly fire issues.

But you're Samuel T. Anders! The T. is for "The Human Shield"!

Yeah, maybe we got lucky enough with that last batch. That sure is a lot of civvies floating around out there.

While this is true, I must caution you that civvies are not to be used as a flotation device. Unless it's funny.
