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.
BSG(Boom-Boom-Bah)
Hmm. Well, I suppose it's a risk worth taking. We should definitely go on -1, though, with this many ships in the sky. Remember, we've got Gaeta's reroll.
I will
Move to Sector 5 and LS-1 the Crisis Deck.
Don't forget the recon this time.
BSG (Ellen)
Pass on interrupts.
Oh, and you've got recon! So, um, if we trust you, you could conceivably advise us to wait for the auto-jump because our Crisis is amenable to that course of action, right?
BSG
Boomer scouts the crisis deck.
Die roll: 2. Fail.
Raptor lost.
Ah well, these things happen, right? No reason for the raptor pilots to be concerned. Boomer's crisis is:
Resistance
Skill Check (12 YGP)
The usual interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also CO me your play for the check itself. Ellen plays first, Boomer last.
BSG
Ugh. I can help a little. Pass on interrupts
BSG
I could help a little. There are cards I want to use on my turn.
BSG
I can help a little and/or gather an Investigative Committee.
BSG
I am usually in favor of ICs, but it depends on whether Gaeta and Adama think we can pass without one. I think if we can all help a little, we may not have an issue. Destiny is always a wild card, though, and we have to be wary of Cylon spikes.
BSG (Gaeter? I barely knew 'er!)
I can help a little. And I think we could use the IC. It's the surest insurance against Cylons at this stage, and it helps with card management.
eta:
No interrupts
from me, though.
BSG
While we await Tory's decision on interrupts (everyone else has passed), I've only received COs from one player so far. Anyone else who's got 'em, let me know. Ellen plays first, Boomer last.
