Hmmm.....do I go for the sure thing or the target-rich environment?

Hey, bt - what does a raider activation do if there are no Vipers OR civvies in the air?

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

If there are no civvies, and no vipers in their sector, they fire on Galactica (whether or not there are vipers elsewhere on the board). They hit on an 8. As current player, it would be your choice whether damage is assigned to Galactica or Pegasus.

Hah. I discard HW-3 to move to the Cylon Fleet and GO, RAIDERS, GO, starting with the lonely guy in Sector 4.

WATCH OUT CIVVIE B! MOVE MOVE MOVE!

Is this thing on? IS THIS THING ON??

(If those other Raiders roll six eights...that would just be silly.)

BSG

Boomer, now divested of all human weakness, orders the assault. Civilian ship B is destroyed, revealing:

Civvie B: 1 Population

Population falls to 1. The seven raiders in Sector 5 fire directly on Galactica!

Raider 1: 1. Miss.
Raider 2: 4. Miss.
Raider 3: 8. Hit!
Raider 4: 6. Miss.
Raider 5: 2. Miss.
Raider 6: 2. Miss.
Raider 7: 4. Miss.

Boomer, does the hit get assigned to Galactica or Pegasus?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Pegasus can indeed, and takes it right in the Engine Room.

That concludes Boomer's turn. Ellen's cards are going out. Ellen, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative note: Ellen's card draw exhausted the Leadership deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

BSG (Lady MacTigh)

Well, well, well. Today is a good day I think to be Admiral!

I use my OPG to seize the Admiralty.

What am I doing in Communications?

I move to Admiral's Quarters.

Ah, this is better. Oooh, a big Battlestar, all for me! Two of them! Well, I think we've stayed here long enough. Coexisting isn't really working out.

I order the jump.

Goodbye, humans. It's been real fun not playing ICs and never having my loyalty checked. Boomer, have fun with all the executions!
