Nah, if we'd jumped before the Pursuit tracked jumped y'all in we'd have been screwed.
Apollo is correct. Adama's decision to nuke the basestar on turn 10.3 saved the fleet.

Adama's Inspirational Leadership saves humanity for another turn!
Now things start to get interesting. The raider activation advances the pursuit track; it then adds another raider to the CFB. However, all twenty raiders are already on the CFB! The activation therefore causes the contents of one sector to jump in. The six raiders in Sector 1 appear to menace the fleet!
Finally, the jump track advances. It is now in the Blue; if the humans can reach FTL Control, they can jump to end the game! (Resource count, and therefore the final victors, pending resolution of any Personal Goals.)

That concludes Adama's turn. Chiefbot has opted to draw 1 Red and 1 Blue. Chiefbot, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Destiny helped them AGAIN??
May the One True God be with us:
I activate Caprica and choose a Crisis Card.
BSG

BSG (Chiefbot)
My, my, what do we have here? It seems to be a Mysterious Guide!
Chief: Hello, Mysterious Guide!
Mysterious Guide: Call me Jacob.
Chief: Hello, Jacob!
Jacob: Hi, I'm mysterious.
Chief: I can see that.
Jacob: You look pretty trustworthy; I'm going to let you in on a little secret. I know where you can get some free Jump Prep.
Chief: Wow, seriously? Tell me more! I love Jump Prep.
Jacob: Humans always love Jump Prep! You look pretty human. I do warn you, though, that you could lose some Fuel on the way if you're not skilled enough. And all your skills!
Chief: Oh no! That sounds dangerous! Is there any other option??
Jacob: Well, you could just refuse my offer, and then everyone will be sad and dead.
Chief: I like that one better.
And Chiefbot said, "I choose Option 2," and THE CYLONS WIN!!!
BSG (Chief)
That's two Morale points I got to just knock down for free! So refreshing!
You played a good game, humans. I can't believe you lasted this long. I mean, I side-eye Destiny a
lot,
but you did good.
BSG (Roslin)
Seriously, I could not
believe
how long you lasted, humanity! So many moments upon which all futurity hung.
