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

Boomer, don't forget your recon ability at the end of your turn.

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.

I second the launch into Sector 6 and play a Max Firepower idea. Try to clear out some of those raiders.

Our wings are not tired

Can I use Strategic Planning to help with the dice rolls when our vipers attack?

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

You can, though each SP can be applied only to a single shot.

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

BSG

Or should I launch into Sector 4 to take some of the heat off Apollo?

Unless that's not a space I can launch into. It's hard to tell from my copy of the rules. I'll send conditional orders to billytea.

launch tubes are in sectors 5 or 6. 5 has a basestar on it. To shoot that, you have to roll an 8. Go for 6 and help the RSV's defend civvies.

Boomer launches in Sector 6 and plays a Maximum Firepower-3. I have passes on all interrupts. Let's see how she does.

Attack 1: 4. Hit!
Attack 2: 5. Hit!
Attack 3: 8. Hit!
Attack 4: 6. Hit!

All raiders destroyed. That concludes Boomer's action. Her Crisis Card is:

Low Supplies
Skill Check (7 YG)

Possible interrupts are Investigative Committee and Scientific Research. Everyone, please pass or play.

Wow. Way to go, Boomer! So far that's a basestar and 4 raiders on your score card.

I pass on interrupts.

Should I have an email for the latest crisis card?
