Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Crap, he's right. I mis-recorded my hand.

I play Consolidate Power - 2 and Critical Situation - 3.

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'll get Helo, Apollo and the Chief to confirm whether that makes any difference to their play.

With Chief announced, I'll go ahead and announce my CO's.

I play Purple 5 Stratgic Planning.

Sure, it's overkill by 1, but hey, the other option would have been short a few, so I say, guns a blazing, let's pass this check!
