omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG (Admiral Hoshi)

I can launch and then play an XO. Is it time for nukes?

Um. I think so. Anyone else agree? I think Sector 3 looks prime for nuking. But we would really want a plan to help make it a sure thing, no? Anyone have one to help? (assuming I get xo'd)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG (Baltar)

I cannot help with a plan, only more shooting things.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Helo)

I will launch into sector 5, Move to Sector 4, and Play XO-1 on Admiral Hoshi.

and yes, I do have a plan.

I've been XO'd! I stay where I am, NO MOVEMENT , and for my first action, I fire a NUKE on to SECTOR 3.

Let's see how that goes.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

BSG

Let's see how that goes.

It goes boom, that's how it goes. What the hell kind of nukes have you been playing with?

But before we roll for that, Helo, moving to Sector 4 and playing an XO are both actions, and you only get one bonus action after launching. Do you want to stay in Sector 5 and play the XO, or move to Sector 4 and not play it?

Oh shoot I was thinking of launching as a move with a bonus action. I will stay in Sector 5.

Hoshi receives an XO, and fires a nuke! Helo plays a Strategic Planning 3 on the roll.

Die roll: 1 + 2 = 3. Basestar destroyed!

Hoshi, you may now take a second action. When you're ready, please post your orders.

What do we think folks? Should we launch the other nuke?

On the one hand, then we're out of nukes. On the other hand, we're stuck here for a whole jump cycle. On the other one hand, one basestar isn't too bad. On the other other hand, what else can you do with your second action?

Activate command, and launch or move some RSV's. Maybe move those pair in sector 5 to cover the Civvie in sector 4?

I'm on the same flip flop you are. We are at the start of jump track. That's a lot of time to spit out more raiders or fire on us.

I also think, how many times do we not use nukes? Better to use them when needed, then wait and never use them.
