Well, we have to go for it. This, plus a Tylium planet gets us our 8 distance.

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

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG

a couple questions.

Administrative: if we play tylium planet, it burns a fuel THEN have the chance to gain some back. Do we not lose the game immediatly before the roll? Either way, I'm hoping Ragnar Anchorage pops up in my choices.

Skill check: humans, 14 is a lot. I can go two routes with this. Help a little & save a heavy card, or help midway and not be of much use until my turn. I'm leaning towards the big help. But not sure how much y'all can assist on this. Thoughts?

No; you lose if a resource is at 0 at the end of a turn. If a resource drops to 0 during a turn, and you can raise it again before the end of that same turn, the game continues.

Either way, I'm hoping Ragnar Anchorage pops up in my choices.

There's only one Ragnar Anchorage in the deck, so you won't see another one of them. There are 4 Tylium Planets in the deck.

No, Ragnar Anchorage was your last destination, and that's the only one, so it's not an option for your next jump. I am of course not at liberty to divulge the location that Apollo buried.

Y'know, I'm starting to think assigning Scout Mission Specialist to Helo wasn't such a good idea...

"I know of this really great place to resupply! It's called Ragnar-"

"We just went there Helo."

"Okay, well, I know of this really great place to dump crap -"

"Do you mean your restroom, Helo?"

"Oh, hey, you been there?"

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.

BSG

I'm personally rather comfortable with Helo being in charge of scouting.

4 Tylium planets? Wow.

I play 1 card.
