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

BSG

so we wouldn't be able to take advantage of the nuke's collateral damage if Adama were to roll for it.
I agree. That was the big thing holding me back from XO'ing Pappy. With sector 6 clear, I think it's time to try and clean up sector 4.

MOVE - None, I stay in Sector 4. ACTION - I play RED 4, Max Firepower and go medieval on the Cylons. First, attack the raiders. If a roll fails, use the next roll to attack again. The heavy raider has the least short term damage impact, if we leave it alive, it's not damaging, but the regular raiders are threatening those civvies. ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!

We also used the smoke breaks for GM asides, so other players didn't hear things their characters wouldn't know.

eta: I miss gaming with y'all.

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

I'm sad I never got to game with Omnis, ND, MM & Sean. Ooh maybe I should bring a dungeon delve to my next f2f.

The person who ran the gaming group I was part of has just moved to within 3 blocks of my house! I'm going to try and talk her into starting up the Victorian Vampire game again.

Our wings are not tired

Yeah, aside from annoying fire guy we had a pretty good group.

BSG

I'm also not certain that it is time for the nuke option. Can we XO one of the viper pilots instead and see if we can take out some more vipers?

We don't have anyone is Weapons Control right now either, so Galactica can't take shots at the basestars right now.

BSG

yeah, I figured I could be more helpful in a viper. I think firing on the basestar from weapons control is a good idea. I don't have a Maximum Firepower card at the moment so XOing me wouldnt do a lot of good right now.

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

Apollo has played an MF. I have passes on interrupts, at least while he's shooting raiders. Apologies, I'm posting from my iPhone so formatting is a bit primitive. Results: 5, 6, 1, 3. Hit, hit, miss, hit. All raiders destroyed!

Apollo's Crisis Card is:

Forced Water Mining

Apollo, when you're ready please post your choice.

This crisis looks to be a whole lot of no fun.

It's quite the skill check to have to pass.

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 can help very little with the crisis check. Unless folks have some very nice cards they can play, I'm leaning towards option 2. I hate to take the Morale hit, but it's better than both Morale and Population.

I can help a lot with this check if I throw all my cards at it but I'm happy with option 2.
