I can help a bit.

But I think the Reckless was a mistake. If there's a BYC, six raiders will move into Sector 5. Then the crisis activation, and the raiders will attack. With 2 RSVs and Starbuck, we could still lose some civvies before jumping.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG (Dee)

No, we won't. That's why I checked with Starbuck first. Starbuck will Run Interference on the first 4 Raiders, and there are enough Vipers to shield against the other 2. If we get Broadcast Location, though, we will lose a civvie, but I'm okay with that, given what I know of what's already out in space.

Check is now down to 8. Let's not waste a shitload of cards.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I can help a little. CO's are in.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG (Starbuck)

We're shooting for 10, not 8, right?

I've been studying the raider situation carefully, I'm pretty sure we will be okay in the event of BYC turning up.

BSG (Dee)

Oops. Yeah, 10. I usually assume a -6 from Destiny to be safe, so 16 total should be enough.

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

Dee has played a JR-1; everyone else passes on interrupts. The check begins:

Review Galactica's Log: 14 10 YGP

Destiny: 2 cards
Six:
Baltar: (COs received)
Dee: (COs received)
Roslin: (COs received)
Cally: (0 or 2+ cards)
Starbuck: (COs received)
Tigh: (COs received)

Six is up first.

BSG

I have everyone else's play:

Review Galactica's Log: 1410 YGP

Destiny: 2 cards
Six: 1 card
Baltar: 1 card
Dee: 0 cards
Roslin: 2 cards
Cally: 2 cards
Starbuck: 0 cards
Tigh: 2 cards

Which gives us:

Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 2
Political Prowess 6
Executive Order 1
Executive Order 1
At Any Cost 4
At Any Cost 5
Evasive Maneouvre 2
Calculations 5

Tally: 21 - 7 = 14. Pass! You didn't even need the JR, though with no Treachery in the play, it didn't hurt either.

Next, the raiders activate. There's only one piece of action that matters, their attack on the RSV in Sector 6:

Raider 1: 7. Viper damaged!

The others all move about, but to no avail, as the fleet jumps! Destinations being sent to the Admiral. Admiral Tigh, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Nice job, everyone! A bit of an overplay after all, but not bad.

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

BSG (Tigh)

I'd rather overplay than underplay. Let me look out the window... looks like a Barren Planet to me.
