Ok, I'm making an executive call on Anders' card draw. Everyone else on the crew has spread their card draw among three different colours, which is also what omnis has done in the past when it's come up. I'm therefore pretty sure he will want
1G 1P 1R.
Cards are going out now, along with Chief Tyrol's draw for turn 1.1. I've shuffled all the decks and placed all the pieces. Reminder: we're using a variant Destiny, with 18 cards. And with that, Buffistica 9 is a go. Chief, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Well, men, how shall we start? Nothing needs repairing, yet, so . . . I guess we might want to do something about yon cylons. Anybody have a useful action or two to deploy? Not Anders, and I suppose not Helo. Anyone else?
BSG
Maybe draw some extra cards?

I could move to Sector 1 and block the Raiders' advance for the moment. I should be able to hold them off for a bit. (I should have started in Sector 6, frak. But I was afraid the Raiders would activate before I had a chance to cover the civvies.)
Alternatively, you could jump to
Pegasus
and fire on Sector 1 with some shit. (And that may not be a bad place for you to be, since
Pegasus
will be where the repairs will need to be made.)
BSG
Not Anders, and I suppose not Helo. Anyone else?
Anders can indicate whether he has a useful action or not, but note that he is on board and received his starting draw along with everyone else. His weakness prevents him from receiving his first regular draw (next turn), but doesn't stop him doing anything else.

You may indeed move to Pegasus if you wish. Remember that if you move between ships, you must discard 1 skill card.
BSG
Right, but I wouldn't want to XO Anders because his turn is next.
Hm.
BSG
If you fired on the basestar or the Raiders, I could help you plan a strategy (although if someone else who's going to draw cards before me is also a good planner, that would be nice). I am seeing the appeal of offense over defense right now, as it is likely to have more of a lasting effect.
BSG
Strategy, eh? I like the sound of that. I
move to Weapons Control
and
fire on the basestar.
BSG
Interrupts! A Strategic Planning may modify the roll. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for using a Calculations.
