Random BSG-related question? Is it possible to play a PP against Population to protect against Population loss on an early jump? I haven't seen the card, so I don't know if it protects against 1 loss, or all losses. If the latter, wow.

It protects against only 1 point of loss, but you can use it to safeguard an early jump. If you jump at -3, you only risk 2 Pop; if you jump at -1, you don't risk any Population at all.

Broadcast Location 1
Tally: 9 - 2 = 7. Partial Pass. Courtesy of Gaeta's Preventative Policy, the Population loss is nullified. No effect!
The heavy raiders advances, as does the jump track. That concludes Gaeta's turn. Tory's cards are going out. President Foster, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (I Dream of Tory)
oh wait, never mind, Adama comes after me.
I'm thinking either Ellen in Comms or Gaeta in CIC.
And now I'm thinking it has to be Ellen because a raider activation would be a Very Bad Thing right now. I'll wait just a little bit in case somebody has a brilliant idea.
BSG (Gaeta)
Hey, all right for instinct!
Oops, hit post too soon. Meant to say, yeah, I'd say Ellen in Comms is good.
BSG (Tory)
I don't move and Play xo-1 on Ellen with the Thing.
