I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

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

BSG

Since she is at weapons, she could get TWO shots. Hopefully finish the original one, and damage the newer one.

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

BSG

that is my plan. I don't have any cards that can help with the die roll, unfortunately.

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

BSG

Boomer is firing at the basestars twice. Éveryone, please pass or play on SP interrupts.

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

No interrupts here.

The problem with the "kill the big guys first" strategy is the Basestars currently aren't threatening civilians. The raiders are. Next raider activation is going to see Apollo fired on three times, and if any of those hit, whatever shots are left will destroy civilians.

That's long enough for interrupts. Time to fire:

Die roll 1: 6. Hit! The damaged basestar is destroyed.
Die roll 2: 7. Hit! Result: Disabled Hangar. This basestar may no longer launch ships.

Bah. You blew up my toy. Obviously the only thing for it is to bring in another one. Adama's Crisis Card is:

Besieged
Cylon Attack

First up, the raiders activate; as Helo noted, they're going to shoot at Apollo.

Raider 1: 4. Miss.
Raider 2: 6. Viper damaged.

And here we pause to see if anyone wants to play an Evasive Maneouvre interrupt. All pilots, please pass or play.

I do have one evasive manoeuvre card which I will play now.

Boomer plays an EM-2. As this viper is being flown by someone in the opening credits, the reroll is at -2.

Raider 2a: 2 - 2 = 0. Miss.
Raider 3: 2. Miss. Well, that sucks.

Now, a bunch of new ships get added to the board, including 4 raiders in Sector 6. They share space with 4 RSVs and 2 civvies. Per the special rules in this set-up, they fire immediately:

Raider 1: 5. Viper damaged. We'll pause once more for interrupts.

Frak! Well, this got ugly in a hurry.

At least we've got only one Basestar that can launch more raiders to worry about. Good shooting, Boomer.

I've got an EM, but I'd rather use it to either keep our pilots out of sickbay or potentially keep civies alive. I think we can afford to lose a RSV or two and still be in good shape. But if the next crisis activates raiders again, Apollo and all those civies in his sector are in trouble again. So I'm only going to play my EM if a third RSV gets hit.
