GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Oh well, so much for the slow uncomfortable simmer of deteriorating relations between Tigh and Zerek...
BSG
Frak me, where did all that smoke come from? Whaaat? Gunnery overheated? Did we even hit the son of a bitch? No? It was the heating coils wasn't it? Cheap crap because Zerek wouldn't get us the good ore? Okay, that's the frakking end...
"Colonial Fleet, this is Galactica Actual. The first salvo at the basestar failed due to minor but key malfunctions in the gunnery systems. Systems that required supplies that President Zerek would not ensure we received. He even suggested that we operate fewer guns! Ha! Well, enough of this BS. We either work smoothly as a consolidated unit or we die at the hands of the Cylons. As of this moment, I have declared Martial Law. The Quorum will be suspended until a time that I see fit for new elections; ones that do not include a wheeling-dealing ex-terrorist opportunist on the ballot. Galactica Out."
Tyrol, get yer ass to Weapons Control. It's worse than we thought!

I just looked at the Martial Law card. Not only is the basestar about to fire, we didn't get a jump step.
Could be a long battle. Don't worry, Pradmiral Tigh will get you through.

Yeah, it'll be one with a crappy FTL, and a really big rad-chamber.

BT, please remind us all again how launching, flying and combat all work?
Also, how do we get Helo off of Caprica?
Also also, happy birthday! (Which may be belated by the time you get this).

Sean, are you getting the emails? BT linked to the complete rules. Here's the link to the site. I think you should be able to download them as the opening caveat is only about downloading utilities: [link]
As for Helo, he automatically appears at the Hangar Deck location at the start of his second turn.

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

BT, please remind us all again how launching, flying and combat all work?
Probably can't cover everything, but in essence:
1. You launch by going to the Hangar Deck (you start there) and activating it. That launches you into either Sector 5 or Sector 6 (your choice) and allows you to take one more action.
2. When you start your turn in a viper, you get a move and an action. You can use the move to an adjacent Sector, or discard a card to land on either Galactica or Colonial One and move to any location you want. Starbuck, if you start your turn in a viper (which would need someone to XO you before your turn at this point), you get a move and two actions. Because you're Starbuck. You get those two actions even if you start in the viper and use your move to land back on Galactica or C1.
3. When you're in a viper, and you have an action, you can use that action to: move to an adjacent Sector; attack a Cylon ship in the same space (playing Maximum Firepower lets you attack 4 times); discard a card to land on either Galactica or Colonial One. This is in addition to any options granted by cards or other sources.
