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.
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

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.

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

I need an XO card that says the person can do 3 things, not just 2. Did you deal me one of those?
We need to jump before civvies get hit or our FTL gets knocked out. But given our fuel situation, I don't really want Prad. Roslin to select our destination card.
What do you guys think? Have Boomer try to brig Roslin and hope that Baltar can XO Boomer to jump us next turn? Or go straight to jump and risk our population and fuel?

Reminder: if you brig Pradmiral Roslin, she will not draw a Crisis Card. That means no Cylon activation on her turn.
