Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

That's everyone. Cards played:

Iron Will 0
Iron Will 0
Declare Emergency 4
Launch Scout 2
Scout for Fuel 6
Scientific Research 3
Dradis Contact 0
Dradis Contact 0

Tally: 12 - 3 = 9. Fail! However, the IW-0s mean that failing this check gives No Effect. Losses avoided!

The DC-0s also take effect, and we add two more raiders into Sector 1. Then, all the raiders activate, and move to Sector 2. That concludes Helo's turn. Apollo has opted to draw 2 Green for his variable draw. Apollo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Apollo)

Sorry again everything. I'm teching far too many shows right now and have barely been finding time to sleep a few hours a night.

I work the quorum.

Damn, I had a whole post and it got eaten. A lot happened, exciting turn. Brief summary:

Apollo played Authorisation of Brutal Force and destroyed three raiders. Everyone passed on interrupts. The die roll passed anyway.

His crisis card is Boarding Parties. Cylon attack! It tries to add a total of five heavy raiders; Apollo keeps one off the board from Sector 1.

At turn end, Apollo has 12 cards in hand and must discard two. President Apollo, when you're ready, please post your discards.
