The raiders in Sector 1 move to Sector 2. The raiders in Sector 3 activate next; one of them destroys civilian ship C, while the other four move to Sector 4. The contents of the Cantilever were:
0 Population.
Well, that was a fizzler. Finally, the jump track advances, ending Adama's turn. Boomer's cards are going out. Boomer, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

That wasn't so bad. Make sure we send some octagonal balloons to sickbay.
BSG(Brave Sir Bobbin)
Well, no point in hanging around guarding empty space. I guess I could follow the civvies, since they're all in one sector now.
Or....I could discard to hit FTL and execute the getting-us-the-hell-out-of-here maneuver.
Thoughts?
BSG (Tory)
I'm in favor of jumpiung early
BSG (Tigh, Fight 'Er)
I don't think we should risk 3 Population. I think we should get one more jump prep before jumping early. If we get jump prep on Boomer's turn, we jump on my turn.
Boomer, you could follow the civvies and Scout for a jump icon (and/or keep the basestar from firing). That is my recommendation. (Alternatively, discard to work the Engine Room, but that would be a lot of cards.)
BSG (Tory of the Foster Torys)
I see your point, your Tighness.
BSG (Ellen, a Handbasket)
Honestly, if we get a jump icon AND the Raiders don't activate, I wouldn't be against waiting for an auto-jump. I think that since we're headed to New Caprica, we're going to have to keep a tighter eye on Population.
BSG (Tory? yes!)
That makes sense. I wasn't thinking about how a different objective demands a different strategy.
BSG
I'm really interested to get to New Caprica and see how it works in practice. I mean, assuming we even get there with a chance. 7 Distance is still pretty far.
The thing about New Caprica is that it's all about preparing and evacuating civvies. So I'm glad we destroyed a decoy and don't have to waste any time evacuating an empty ship. I think we need to keep Morale and Population as high as we can because those are the resources hit hardest on New Caprica. I mean, those are good to keep up in a normal game too, but especially so now.
