You guys, I have a crazy idea. I mean, Chief has already played his SCC, so the only thing that could frak it up is a particularly bad Crisis (or a bad Crisis card on my turn), but I'm pretty sure this plan will work. Hell, Chief may even be forced to give us a jump icon.
What if on my turn I activate the Engine Room to make sure we get a jump icon, putting the jump track in blue, and then Anders just pulls the trigger on his turn and, uh, we win? We have the Population to spare.
BSG
That's so crazy it just might work!
BSG
If we were one icon away from blue, I'd say go for it. But we need two. And Any crisis the Chief gives us, the jump icon doesn't count.
BSG
We are one icon away from blue. We got a jump icon on Helo's Crisis.

With the Pegasus expansion, jump icons from crises drawn by Cylons do count. This is a change to the base game rules. (Cylon ship activation icons still don't have any effect.)

You're two icons away. You only just jumped, the icon on Sleep Deprivation is your first towards the next jump.

Apollo has opted to draw 1G/1Y for his optional draw. Apollo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Hmm. I still think it's too big a risk. We're basically praying Chief pulls two Jump icon crises. If he doesn't, or if Apollo's crisis puts something in the air he can use with Cylon Fleet, we're heading into Gaeta's Super Crisis before we can jump to Kobol.
I say build up resources now and on Anders' turn so we can survive the Cylons and use the Engine Room next round.
BSG
Curses, who knew there was a 0 on the jump track?
I suppose I'll move to Research Lab and XO-2 Helo. Wake up, boy! Do something useful.
BSG
Helo, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.
BSG
OK I'll move to COMMS. Got a few flying tips for those civvie pilots.
I'm thinking about launching a scout. Is it worth it to risk it without an SP? I kinda want to hang on to mine in case of a crisis.
