Boomer's proposed course of action is... legal!
Move to Sector 1
Play Red-3: Maximum Firepower to attack the basestar 4 times.
Boomer will hit on a roll of 8. There is 1 possible interrupt, Strategic Planning. We will pause for a moment to see if anyone wants to play it for any of your attacks. (Roslin and Baltar haven't drawn purple cards, so cannot play an interrupt here.)
BSG
I can't recall exactly what the card says, but I want to go in all guns blazing
I concur with this too.
The card says you can move and take an action, or you can stay where you are and take 2 actions.
If you have the Action card that lets you attack 4 times, you can move into Sector 1 and play that card as your action, and then roll the die 4 times to hit the basestar. Any hit of 8 or greater will damage it, and there are 3 more damages it can take (knock out weapons, general damage 1, general damage 2).
ETA: OK, billytea's way ahead of me on that.
I do not interrupt, as I'm all about concurring with Boomer's proposed action.
BSG
Hold on a sec. The XO gives 2 actions, one can be a move. The card gives me two actions. So the XO puts me in sector one. The other XO item is playing the card. The card gives me (2) actions? So one is the 4 attacks, then can I attack AGAIN (so 5 attacks)? Or is the 4 attacks both actions? [what? gun happy? Me? Not often a Raptor pilot gets a gunship! Take that Starbuck!)
BSG
The XO allows you either Move + Action, or 2 Actions. You're doing move + action. The Maximum Firepower allows you to use your one action to attack 4 times.
PS: Do you intend to play an interrupt for any of your attacks?
Yesterday, Peeeeeeev faced Hitler. Today he fights the Gang of Germany. It is apparently a thing. [link]
184 points. Nuff said.
BSG
PS: Do you intend to play an interrupt for any of your attacks?Hell no. ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!!!!!!
BSG
Um, do I do the rolls, or do you BillyTea? I should be home in about an hour if I do the rolls. Or I can use the dice app on my iPhone if you want t /geek
BSG
I do the rolls. Which, having received interrupts, I will now do:
Attack 1:
1. Miss.
Attack 2:
6. Miss.
Attack 3:
5. Miss.
Attack 4:
2. Miss.
Let the record show that Boomer couldn't hit the side of a barn basestar.
Next up: crisis!

Gorrum it! Guess I'm not used to that red button. Raptors don't have them, y'know!

So... wait. You were just flying up to the basestar and making 'pew pew' noises while pointing at it? On the plus side, I think we know why it didn't bother shooting back.
