On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Oh, no, we've been warned! No fouls, people, be careful with the sliding tackles.

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

First up, a reminder on secrecy. For playing into skill checks, you can't state what colours you have/are playing. You can only state that you are helping a little or a lot (or a medium amount, if playing multiple cards). There've been a couple of people skating around this lately.
You guys have the rules pretty much down pat anyway, but for confirmation:
But if you use the CS to get out of the Brig you would have another action this turn, is that right?
That is correct. You may move to any location on Galactica, and would still have your regular action left, which you could then take normally.
Which is the better choice, one die roll you hope to get four or better on, or four die rolls you hope to get four or better on? In the first case each pip represents a viper destroyed. In the second, each roll of four or above does.
On a regular shot at a raider, you only need 3 or more to hit.
I think that if I got the Political Prowess, I couldn't use it because the check would have begun, but, hey, it's worth 6.
Correct. It forestalls any interrupts, so you'd need it before interrupts were played.
Ok! I have passes on remaining interrupts. The check begins!

Hurrah! Kat, you're free! We overplayed, but better safe than sorry.
Now go shoot some Raiders! And get us a jump icon!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

This one's for Starbuck.
I dash to the
Hangar Deck
leap into a viper and launch into sector five where I play Best of the Best
Badass Bomber-6
to remove all four raiders at once. Why am I so sure? I'm a hotshot, baby, discarding
LS-2
for a die roll of 2+2=4 dead toasters.
