Should I attack the centurion on ther boarding track?!!

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.

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

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?

So either way I'm going to move to communications.

Pages 7 or 8 both have the map (albeit in a very small form). If you look at page 8, Sector one is the sector called Front of Galactica. The rest are numbered 2-6 in clockwise direction from there.

OK I've got it. If noone objects to drunken gaming. For my action I move CIVD to Sector 4 and Civ A to sector 5.

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

You can see a map with the sectors numbered here: [link]

Ignore all the other bits on the map. It's currently showing the starting set-up.

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

Baltar, listen to Apollo. His advice seems good. As for the drunkness? Does this mean more or less air humping?

Mdm President. If you can't help repel the largest invasion we've seen, then kindly shut up.

shit so I should have launched RSVs instead of moving civvy ships? Is it too late to change my mind?

I cannot do anything to repel raiders, but I can and have figured out who the traitors in our midst are. If you choose to ignore what I'm trying to tell you, then I'm not sure I'll be able to console you much when we lose.
