Nothing else has happened, you can change your orders. See, that's what happens when you post before breakfast. That and horrible, gnawing hunger! Helo's crisis card is:
Food Shortage
President's Choice
President Baltar, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Well, at least it's not me doing BOTH card tosses this time.
Helo, how do you feel about loosing some cards? I'd prefer not. Seems this is the third or fourth time for me.
BSG (Helo)
I have to discard one card anyway but if we went with option 1 could the quorum help us get some of that food back?
Holy crap. Fantasy Flight Games has just announced another Battlestar Galactica expansion - Daybreak: [link]
It will include at least one new game option, "The Search for Home", and a bunch of new cards and things, including twelve new characters.
Oh my shit.
I feel like I've given up hope of ever playing the base game I actually bought, so I look forward to playing the new expansion here.

I'm not sure secrecy rules allow me to say yes or no, I'll just say, best not to hold one's breath on the Quorum making food. Fat bastards ate it all, I'm sure (I hope the mic wasn't on when I said that).
Given where we are, and the lack of attack cards lately, I think we will need as many skill check cards as we can get! If it's ok with you Admiral, I think option 1 would be best.

Wow! Plastic cylons!
Alright let's go with option one but keep a look out for opportunities to increase our food.
Wow! Plastic cylons!
Autons!
There will also be two new game boards: one for the Demetrius (Location action: shoot Gaeta in the leg, make him hopping mad), and one for the rebel basestar.
But seriously: TWELVE new characters?!
And it looks like a lot of them, like Cottle and Lampkin, are already Allies.
Don't they have all the necessary characters by now? I mean, Hot Dog has got to be way down low on the Admiral hierarchy; what does he really have to offer?
Okay, what am I saying, it would be worth it just to have a game with Admiral Hot Dog.
