Okay, I need to take out some raiders, but I need to work out the best way to do this. It looks like the civvies in Sector 6 and Sector 2 are at the greatest risk. However, I can't move to them and get an attack in, is that correct? If I'm reading the board correctly the only raider I can attack this turn is the Heavy Raider in Sector 4.

You get a move and two actions this turn. You can use an action to move a viper. That means that you could move twice to either S2 or S6 and have one action remaining. If you have a Full Throttle in hand, then you would be able to move to either Sector
and
take a shot, just in your Movement phase.

Now, my apologies to Mr Gaeta. I'd forgotten that we are playing with the official No Sympathiser variant. That means that revealed Cylons get to draw one additional card per turn. He should therefore have drawn two cards on his turn instead of one. He draws
Red.
Card being sent now.

Ah, so I could move twice to S6, and then unleash an MF on them?

You could! As long as you actually have an MF, of course.

Okay, then, do my fellow humans have an opinion on whether to go after the threat in Sector 2 or Sector 6? It looks like an activation puts a civie in the cross hairs in both of those sectors.
BSG (Helo)
I would head to Sector 2 since there are two RSVs in Sector 6
BSG (President)
True, but they are outnumbered. I think no matter which you do, civilians will die. If you go to Sector 2, then Pegasus might harm you, if we use Main Batteries.

So after 2+ hours of replaying the same 15 minutes of Metroid over and over again, I've accepted defeat and am skipping to Super Metroid to see if I have any better luck.
BSG (Starbuck)
Okay, I
MOVE to Sector 6, then fire on the Raiders using an MF-3.
