You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Considering we lost on fuel last time I'm still inclined to go for the check even though the little bit I can help seems quite pitiful in the face of 15.

Hmm, I think with a 15 difficulty, we have no chance of passing. I'm going to go with the die roll, please.

Assassin's Creed 2 is AMAZING. There's a bit of a learning curve, but the first missions are all about learning the controls and how to interact with the game world. The graphics are jaw dropping, and the sandbox world is GINORMOUS!

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

BSG

Zarek has chosen the die roll. I have passes on interrupts from all players. Let's roll:

Result: 3. The fleet loses 1 Fuel.

Activation: Raiders. They follow the retreating civvie into Sector 4.

Jump Prep: Yes. Advances to 2 (Red).

That concludes President Zarek's turn. Admiral Adama, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

Okay, so I think my best move looks to be to move to Command so that I can launch some vipers. What do folks think? This is my first time in this rodeo.

Command would also let you order RSVs that have already launched. You may either order two different RSVs, or order a single RSV twice.

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

We need to take out those base stars, but I agree trying to get some vipers between those raiders and the civvies (and maybe taking one out.) is a higher priority at the moment.

I'd suggest activating the same RSV twice. Once to move into sector 4, and then again to shoot at the raiders. With luck you'll take one of them out, and then our worst-case scenario on the next raider activation is the two remaining raiders shoot down the RSV and Apollo, but the civvies stay safe. Best case is they miss our vipers (and I can try to help with that a little.)

Or, if you have an XO, play it on Apollo so he can take two shots (or more if he has a Max Firepower card) at the raiders.

BSG

In any fight my strategy is to take out the big guys first (plus, I like shooting) so I recommend if you have an XO to play it on me. Otherwise activating an RSV seems like a good call.

I XO Boomer. Take out one of those frakking basestars!
