move out and draw fire

put myself into one of them

So there'd be one of the RSVs that isn't at -2 at least.

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

I would ask that you repeat your previous action in a combat crisis, and move the civilians to a safe section, but since EVERY FRAKKING RAIDER THAT COMES IN THE GAME is now on the board, I'm not sure that's possible.

There are in fact 13 raiders on the board, which leaves 3 in reserves.

Concerning the raiders currently in play, should they activate, the raiders in Sector 1 would move to Sector 6. The raiders in Sector 4 would first destroy Civilian A and then move to Sector 5. (The heavy raiders would move to Sector 1, then Sector 6, then board Galalctica. The basestar would just shoot at you.)

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

OK you guys. I've been drinking. Maybe I should wait until tomorrow to decide what to do.

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

But here's what I'm trying to decide between- it's too soon to jump, right? So do I move civvy ships or mobilize combat ships?

Ah, hell no! Unleash that inner Colonel Tigh! Get your mean on, Laga!

So do I move civvy ships or mobilize combat ships?

There is nowhere to move civvy ships. We are totally surrounded by cylon raiders. Literally.

You could do that, but losing the game from the cylon boarding party is at least 4 turns away. We could lose the game in one or two raider activations. If they blow away enough of the civvy ships out there, we could run out of population fast.

OK I'm trying to figure out where to move the civilian ships. Can anyone point me to the page in the rule book that shows the sectors of the game board please?

Let's take a look at the three failed checks, shall we?

Security Breach 6GP

Cards played: G1, G1, G1, G2, P2 versus Y1, R1, R5
Cards by player: Destiny 2, Adama 2, Roslin 2, Baltar 1, Apollo 1

(It should be noted that I have only drawn Y and G cards)

Cylon Virus 13PB (all 1 cards count positive)

Cards played: B1, B1, B3, B3, P1, P1, P1, P2, Y1 versus Y2, Y3
Cards by player: Destiny 2, Roslin 1, Baltar 5, Apollo 1, Boomer 2

Brigging Baltar 7GP

Cards played: G1, G2, G3, G3, G4, P1 versus Y2, Y3, Y3, R3, B2
Cards by player: Destiny 2, Baltar 2, Apollo 1, Adama 3, Roslin 3

Either I am the cylon, and the Adamas are telling the truth, or both the Admiral and the CAG are cylons and we're really, really frakked.

Boomer, you are FOR SURE not our cylon. I am now reasonably certain Baltar is not the cylon. Now that it has been laid out just so, and everyone is clear that this is very much an either/or situation, I will happily and gladly submit to Dr. Baltar's loyalty check. If he discovers me to be human, as I know I am, then the the other possibility must be the truth. Scan me, Baltar. Please do. At this point, it doesn't matter which of the three of us you scan, the results will reveal to you what I already know.

As to why the Admiral nuked a basestar when given the opportunity, gee, could it be because any other course of action would raise GIANT HEAPING MOUNDS of suspicion?
