I'm tempted to nuke a basestar but we run the risk of harming the civvies in the same sectors as the Basestars don't we?
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

That is true. Fire at each one and hope for the best? Or if Gaeta has Calculations, he could maybe decrease your roll if it would harm the civvies? I think that only happens at 8. Which means maybe if you do nuke, don't make a plan?
I think we need to get rid of at least one basestar now because Boomer's turn is next, and she could activate both of them and pummel us. Really, if we get some good hits on the basestars, we may be able to wait out the jump cycle, Boomer notwithstanding.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

That is correct; on an 8+, the nuke destroys everything in the sector. It's very exciting!

I'm thinking it would be best to just use weapons control to fire twice. Let's start with the basestar in sector 3.

Sounds like a plan. If you get a critical hit, I'd say just eliminate it entirely; otherwise, try to damage the other one. The good thing about hitting basestars is they become less functional!

I Fire on the basestar in sector 3.
Unless I get a critical hit I will follow this with a shot on the other basestar.

I have COs from Tory for just such an occasion: she plays an SP-3. Let's see how the Admiral's aim is:
Die roll: 6 + 2 = 8. Hit! You have caused Structural Damage.
That's not a critical hit, so per your orders, you now fire on the other basestar. I have COs from Tory for just such an occasion: she plays an SP-3. (Again.)
Die roll: 1 + 2 = 3. Miss. Shooting at basestars requires your undivided attention, Admiral! It doesn't help to have your nose in the latest bestseller, Loving the Robot. Tory's crisis is:

Tory, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Frak! That was okay, but it could have gone better.
And now we're going to have Raiders! Dammit, after we got Morale on that last check, I think we better just lose it now.

Oh! I forgot that it was actually Tory's turn. Adama, maybe jump us out of here? We're very likely to lose the Pop unless we have another SP, but if the Raiders activate, we'll probably lose 2 Pop from the civvies, and then Boomer will get a chance to wreak some havoc in this setup.
