I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Our wings are not tired

BSG

I could hop over to Galactica and repair a Viper.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

BSG

I could hop over to Galactica and repair a Viper.

You could hop over and repair two vipers. A Repair card lets you repair one location or two birds.

That's what I do. I discard my treachery card to make the jump to Galactica and play an R-2 to fix two birds.

That's an SD-2 that Cally discarded. The Cylons have COs to pass on Sabotage. You now have two more vipers ready to launch.

That concludes Cain's turn, as she's in the Brig. Baltar is up next. He has opted to draw Treachery. Baltar, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG

There are way too many civvies on this board. It's really no fair that we can't place any more.

I move to Cylon Fleet and activate all Raiders.

Ayup. Well, the only real question is how long Anders can stay flying. Let's see how the raiders in Sector 6 fare:

Raider 1: 4. Miss. (Any Calculations to make it hit? ...No?)
Raider 2: 4. Miss.
Raider 3: 8. Viper destroyed.

Anders does not play an EM. It was a solid performance; the raiders will only bag one civvie this turn. Baltar has no idea what's on any of them, so I'll determine randomly. Raider 4 destroys: Civilian ship F. Ouch - it contained 2 Population. That's both 2 Pop ships gone, as well as both decoys. All remaining ships contain 1 Population (and one ship also has 1 Fuel).

The raider in Sector 4 destroys ship D. It contained 1 Population. That concludes Baltar's turn. Boomer is up next. Boomer, what would you like for your card draw?

Boomer, if you activate those Raiders again, they'll be down to 1 Pop. And one more Raider activation will destroy them. There will be 9 Raiders in Sector 5 for those three civvies. They only have Anders and 2 Vipers to defend themselves as it is, if they can even launch them in time. They have to Repair Command first.

Maybe we can win the game before I leave for London!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG

I'll take a Treachery and a Tactics.

Second verse, same as the first. I will also move to the Cylon Fleet and activate Raiders.

Eta: I was very tempted to try to destroy Pegasus, but taking out Civilians makes more sense.
