Cottle plays 3 cards. Will it be enough to save his bacon? Cards played:
Launch Scout 2
Critical Situation 4
Strategic Planning 5
Run Interference 3
Best of the Best 6
Repair 1
Repair 1
Repair 2
Executive Order 1
By Your Command 1
Tally: 24 - 2 = 22. Pass!
Doc Cottle, you may now remove all Cylon ships from one sector. Which sector would you like to target?
BSG
This has been some turn. Total point value of all cards played: 42.
BSG (Doc)
Sweet! Me too! Let's pass this one and clear another sector!
Fingers crossed!
So, which sector should we clear, if we can? I was thinking 1, but then we'll get two more raiders in sector 2, so now I'm not sure. If we don't take out Sector 1 the raiders activation will move the four we have, uh, also to Sector 2? I forget who they most want to attack.
Eta: dang, we passed the hell out of that. So, tactical thinkers, which would be the best sector to devastate?

The raiders in Sector 1 will move to Sector 6, if they're still there for the raider activation.

Does a Basestar count as a ship?

Does a Basestar count as a ship?
For the purposes of this crisis card? It certainly does.
BSG (Starbuck)
I think it's a lot easier to defend against 2 at a time than 4 at a time. Yes, it will suck that the basestar will burp out more ships. I think it will suck more that 4 attacks at a time. We only have 1 RSV with each civvie ship. With only me drawing Red cards, we don't have enough evasive maneuver cards to survive a quad attack.
I vote, kill off sector 1.
BSG (Adama)
Starbuck may have a point. And I foergot the basestar has suffered structural damage as well. We may be able to take it out with one shot from Pegasus.
BSG (DOC)
Well, that sounds like consensus.
Rain down destruction upon Sector 1
BSG (Starbuck)
Let it RAIN! Let it rain. Let our love rain down on them... (well, it sounded like an Eric Clapton song, but it didn't end up right. Oh well).
Dude, how many Cylons did we kill this turn!?! If Doc is a toaster, his shiny headed friends are looking at him saying "WTF dude, that's taking "deep cover" a little far, don't you think"!
