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

BSG

I have orders from Apollo to move to Sector 4 and play a Maximum Firepower 3.

Die roll 1: 1. Miss.
Die roll 2: 3. Hit!
Die roll 3: 4. Hit!

There are no more targets in Sector 4, so the last shot goes astray. And hits a water tank, looks like. Apollo's crisis is:

Water Shortage (D)
President's Choice

President Foster, when you're ready, please post your choice.

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

BSG (Thirsty Tory)

What the hell people?? First a double cylons attack. Now, another water shortage?!? Well, hit to food or card loss? Any opinions?

Well, nobody has piped up, so, I guess I will have to make a decision without input of council. Since the last time we took the hit to food, this time we will take the hit to our cards.

Per CO, Tory discards:

Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 2

Due to his weakness, Apollo's discards are random. He discards:

Consolidate Power 2
Evasive Manoeuvre 2
Maximum Firepower 3

Next, the basestars fire:

Attack 1: 3. Miss.
Attack 2: 5. Hit!

Apollo, as current player, you assign the hit. Did it fire at Galactica or Pegasus?

Thrive to spite them

Pegasus CIC is damaged. Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Apollo's turn. Kat's cards are going out. Kat, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG (Katastrophe)

Well, that was not the draw I was hoping for.

I am going to bank on the fact that keeping those 9 Raiders at bay (while protecting our civvies in Sector 4) is our most pressing issue, so I will move to Sector 2 and then move to Sector 3.

Come at me, bros.

Given that we keep losing cards for no good reason, I will take my chances with Option 2. Anyone got a plan to keep the Centurions out?
