If someone has a PP can we jump early and use that to prevent the population loss, or do I have to be holding a PP?
It has to be you, a PP can only be played in the current player's movement phase.
20% of all crisis cards have a heavy raider activation. About 57% of crisis cards have a jump icon.
BSG (Tory)
Never tell me the... wait, those are good odds.

Crap, sorry for the delay again, got caught away from the computer all day today.
I play an XO-1 on Gaeta.
BSG (Felix)
Ok, I activate CIC to fire at the basestar, twice if necessary.
BSG
Possible interrupt: SP. Everyone, please pass or play. You can send me COs for Calcs too.
BSG
Ok, everyone passes on interrupts. The basestar has previously suffered structural damage, so the roll is at +2 anyway:
Die roll: 3 + 2 = 5. One hit! Causing a... Disabled Hangar!
The basestar hangs there still, taunting you. Gaeta fires again:
Die roll: 2 + 2 = 4. Third hit - basestar destroyed! So that went well. But the fleet, are they ever happy? They're asking questions, why didn't the President arrange this on her turn? Adama's crisis is:
Ambushed by the Press
President's Choice
President Foster, when you're ready, please post your choice.

I thought I had a Major Victory but alas. I actually have a pretty shitty hand so I will bow to the will of the people.
BSG (Ellen of Tory)
We do keep taking Morale hits, which isn't great. I peeked ahead to New Caprica, and there is a pretty interesting location where we can sacrifice some of our highest resource (which is Morale or Food right now) to advance the jump track and get Galactica back more quickly so we can stop living with Boomer. So I figure it's worth it to keep our high resources high if we can. If your hand is crap, maybe we can save our Morale? You know your hand better than we do.

I thought I had a Major Victory but alas.
It wouldn't matter here. An MV needs to be played by the one who struck the killing blow, so here, Gaeta.
