All right, I think it's clear our situation is critical, so I play CS-4, which allows me an additional action. I will have 3 Actions this turn. For my first action, I play XO-2 on Tigh. Take care of those frakking basestars, Admiral. We can't have them continually spitting out more Raiders. I'm not sure whether one shot each would be better than taking two shots at one, but I'm really hoping we can at least disable the hangars.
BSG
One complication: you can't play both a CS and an XO in one turn, so your orders aren't legal. You can use a Full Throttle in conjunction with an XO.
BSG
Don't talk to me about LEGAL! I can do whatever I want! The situation is still critical, and I'm tackling this full-throttle by playing FT-2 and remaining in Sector 3 and firing on a Raider.
Then we'll get to my other 2 actions.
BSG
Die roll = 2. Miss.
At least you still have two actions, because you're just that good.
BSG
Frak!
Well, now I play XO-2 on Tigh to fire on some frakking basestars.
BSG
Admiral Tigh, apparently Starbuck thinks she can boss you around. Brig her! You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.
BSG
Hm, the mechanics of Starbuck's maneuvering have me mildly confused. Fortunately, that is a state I am used to functioning in so I will have another drink and forge on to fire on the basestar in Sector 1.
Pass on interrupts.

I don't have either of the cards that let me attack the crap out of 7 Raiders, so I feel this is a better use of getting extra actions than just firing three times individually. I've already missed once, after all.
Pass on interrupts.
BSG
It's the Full Throttle without moving, that's just weird. You're the hotshot pilot, though.
BSG
No, it's totally weird, and I wanted to save that for when I could actually use it to move. I was hoping the CS/XO combo was legal, but apparently not. So I used the FT to get one extra shot at a Raider, which I blew. Too much pressure, alas. In any case, this is the Sector I'm probably stuck in for the foreseeable future anyway. Looooot of Raiders in this Sector.
