Obviously I have to wait to perform my second action, but I have a question. The rules say RS Vipers are usually activated from Command, so a player can't just activate one as an action (with Command giving the superior action of activating two)?
No, that wording just allows for special circumstances like Apollo's CAG ability. You can pretty much assume that if you want to activate RSVs, you'll need to go to Command.
Any SP interrupts for the nuke?
BSG
No interrupts here.
-bt et all: Gmail is down for me. I can't get the page to load in a browser on any of the 3 computers (or the PS3) in my apartment, and my iPhone can't contact their SMTP servers. I know you had a question for me, so I'll have to answer it here:
Interrupt: I play a Strategic Planning on the Pradmiral's nuke attempt.
BSG
Mr Zarek plays an SP-4 on the nuke. Let's see how it goes:
Die roll: 8 + 2 = 10. The nuke destroys not only the basestar, but the three raiders accompanying it. Look, I don't think you people realise just how much one of these things costs. I'm seriously out of pocket here.
Pradmiral Tigh, when you're ready please post your second action.
BSG
Die roll: 8 + 2 = 10. The nuke destroys not only the basestar, but the three raiders accompanying it.That is great news!!!! Great shooting sir!
eta BillyTea, insent.
BSG
Okay, there's no value in using the other nuke, that basestar will be destroyed if Galactica hits it one more time.
I'll play a P2 - Launch Scout. Hopefully I can ensure our next Crisis won't be more Cylons turning up.
BSG
whoo! (edit, whoo: destroying base star. I'm not whooing the scout until it comes back safely.)
BSG
What sort of world is it where I'm forced to commend the Pradmiral for both his wisdom in using the Bomb at this particular juncture, as well as sending out a scout?
Can I please be moved to Sickbay, since I'm obviously in need of medical care?
BSG
Obviously, you are a greater asset to the Colonies than the Pradmiral thought and restitution will be made when we don't have Cylons breathing down our necks.
BSG
Any interrupts on the Scout roll?
