Hmmm... Tough choice. Really screw them on food, or kind of screw them on food, and screw the only human out of the brig on cards.
Oh, Faithful Moderator, I believe I will have to take the Screw Them A Little On Food, Screw Boomer A Little On Cards option. Goatta spread the pain, dontcha know?

The Fleet loses 1 Food. Boomer, you are required to discard 3 cards. Please post your choice of cards to discard.
sorry, at work now. I'll do that when I get home. But I will scowl all day thinking about the Toaster-Head President. Kinda like a bobble head, but with a menacing look on it's face.
Anyone know anything about Space Hulk? The minis look fantastic: [link]
Space Hulk was first released in the mid to late 80's. It's a game that pretty successfully captures the vibe in the movie Aliens of marines vs an unstoppable alien horde. It's like a very small scale wargame and if the marines are to survive and complete their assigned mission, it often come down to how well they can cover corridors and concentrate fire.
The minis for the game were always pretty damn good but I wonder if these are pre-painted? Pre-painted would be really nice given how complex those minis can be.
Just took a look at the website, there's no mention of pre-painted so I suspect not. Still a bloody great game, though.
I was going to say, "Ask Pete", but he beat me to it.

Lastly, Boomer has used her Recon ability, and moved the next Crisis Card to the bottom of the deck.
