You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

I will draw 2 Blue please. Just because I never could before - the benefits of embracing one's metallic heritage.

And I'll stroll over to the fleet and kick it into high gear.

MOVE to the Cylon Fleet location and activate it with the "launch 2 raiders and one heavy raider from each basestar" option.

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

I've sent Apollo 13 his cards. With the launch from the basestars, that concludes his turn. Admiral Valerii, I'm sending you your cards. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

Questions.

If I stay where I am at, do I get two actions? I dunno why, but that's stuck in my head somehow.

With the Hangar Deck busted, can I launch vipers?


Volans - Aug 07, 2009 6:38:05 am PDT #3257 of 26133
move out and draw fire

With the Hangar Deck busted, can I launch vipers?

Nope. Do you have a blue card to repair the hanger deck?

No. You'd get two actions if you were XO'd and you stay where you are, but on your own turn you only get one action.

With the Hangar Deck busted, can I launch vipers?

Yes. The busted Hangar Deck only stops you launching yourself. Apparently that's the VIP hangar deck, all the redshirts are launched from a slingshot or something. You can launch RSVs by going to Command and activating it.

My bad, I thought you wanted to hop in a viper. But then you wouldn't've said viperS.

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

I'm going down to my folk's house. I'll be back on line probably around 10 or 11 pm board time.

crap. I'm torn. Between sending some RSV out the aft tube to help defend the population, or firing on the lead mothership. I'm leaning towards firing on the basestar. The odds are against me, but I feel it's an action that might resolve now. The RSV can't do anything for a couple rounds. But they'd offer protection for civvie B if those raiders make it around. I'm worried that Civvie A is done for. Raq, Laga, thoughts?
