Orders from Anders to play 2 cards. Cards played:
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 2
Evasive Maneouvre 2
Evasive Maneouvre 2
Repair 2
Declare Emergency 3
Sabotage 3
Tally: 9 - 6 = 3. Fail!
2 vipers are damaged; Anders has chosen 1 each from Sectors 5 and 6. In addition, as a suspicious Cain leans over the control panel, she is taken by surprise as a boxing glove on a spring bursts out and catches her right in the face! The face, I say! Cain is sent to Sickbay for face-punch-related care and bedrest.
Next, the basestars launch 3 new raiders each. That concludes Anders' turn. Cain starts her turn in Sickbay, and therefore draws only one card. She has opted to draw Purple. Admiral Cain, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Shall I launch a nuke in Sector 2? Or Sector 3? Is it possible the civvie can escape nuclear devastation?
BSG
Don't forget to post a move, unless you'd like to start your next turn in Sickbay too.
BSG
I'm planning to move to Command but I will wait a moment to see if anyone has a better idea.

Not in the FACE! Sorry we weren't able to warn you about that, Cain. (At least we didn't have any Reckless consequences.)

Can a nuke hit civvies? I think that's Exodus rules.
I'm planning to move to Command but I will wait a moment to see if anyone has a better idea.
It seems like a fine idea unless you go around saying, "By your Command!"
BSG
So if I'm looking at the cards correctly we had one player other than Boomer spike the check.

Correct, your civvies are safe from nuclear conflagration. Apparently nuclear missiles are higher-precision weaponry than Pegasus' guns. Using the Cylon Fleet option in Pegasus gives you nukes that can destroy Colonial ships too.
BSG
That's enough dithering. I
move
to Command and
launch a nuke
into Sector 3.

The Treachery had to come from Boomer because none of us have a Treachery card, but the other negative card is Leadership, and we all draw Leadership. I have a Cylon Detector but don't know who to detect. I suppose I have a one in three chance of getting it right if I just pick one of you at random.

How's that? Cylons don't get nukes.
That's enough dithering. I move to Command and launch a nuke into Sector 3.
Cylons get nuked!
