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

BSG

The basestar attack may be modified by an SP. Everyone, please pass or play. I'll also take COs for SPs on the scouting roll, and for Calcs on either roll.

I have orders; Apollo plays an SP-3 on the basestar attack:

Attack roll: 5 + 2 = 7. Hit! What got damaged: Critical Hit! One more hit will finish off the basestar.

No one plays an SP on the scouting mission:

Scouting roll: 2. Fail. Ah. You might have liked those rolls to have been reversed. Adama's crisis is:

Surrounded
Cylon Attack

Apollo is already in space, so no AVP. First, the existing basestar returns fire:

Attack roll: 1. Miss. There's something, anyway. Next, a new fleet jumps in. Adama is so startled that he discards three cards. Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your discards.

That concludes Adama's turn. Tory's cards are going out. President Foster, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG (President)

Holy Frak, that's a lot of flack. We have some civvies in danger, and we have two, count them TWO basestars out there.

Okay HUMANS, talk to me. I have an XO, what do we think? Apollo to fight some raiders? Someone to Comm's to move Civvie D two sectors? Or Papa Adama to Nuke sector 3, in hopes of a crit roll that will wipe them all out? Or something else I'm not thinking about.

BSG(Husker Did)

Hmmm. If you XO Apollo he can use his OPG on the RSVs and still use a Max Fire on the ones in his sector.

And why would he want to fire on the RSV's? Those are OUR birds!

On the raiders in his sector, obviously.
