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

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.

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

BSG

Unfortunately I don't have any more 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

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.

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

I'm saving EM's for my kiester, as I'm in the thick of it, and it's getting thicker. Boomer, thanks for your help!

That just leaves Apollo to pass or play.

Side note: Adama may also move as part of his turn, and moves to Command.

Ninja'd by Apollo! Ok, the result stands: one viper damaged. Let's get back to it:

Raider 2: 3. Miss.
Raider 3: 3. Miss.
Raider 4: 7. Viper damaged!

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

BSG

If I stay where I'm at I can only fire once, correct?

Another option for me would be to move to the hangar deck, launch myself in a viper and play a Maximum Firepower card to atack four times.
