One hit for Baltar, coming up. He discards four random cards. He holds... four cards. This is less random than I would like. No matter! The discards are:
Consolidate Power 2
Executive Order 2
At Any Cost 3
Repair 2
Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Baltar's turn. Hoshi's cards are going out. Admiral Hoshi, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

In other other news. We got Zombie Dice for Xmas. It's quite the ingenious little game. The way the dice are designed it is not as random as you might think. I would highly recommend it for anyone who's looking for a quick-playing pocket game.

Anyone have an SP? With the skies quiet, I could do something useful, but it requires a roll of the bone(s). I'd love to make it a sure thing.
BSG (Helo)
No plans here.
