We have Stonehenge courtesy of some seriously awesome friends. Can't wait to play it once week 2 of familyxmas wraps up.

Move: Weapons Control
Action: Play G1 Executive Order on Admiral Adama. "I have a feeling those nuggets in sector 5 can handle those raiders with the right motivation, sir." (Have the RSVs fire on the raiders. You can have them do it twice with each action from the XO, for a total of 4 shots (call this a poor man's Maximum Firepower). If the RSVs still have shots left over once the raiders are destroyed, might as well fire on the basestar. We may get lucky.)
BT: I'll use my re-roll ability if the last shot from the RSVs misses.
If either Zarek or Adama have an XO handy, I recommend they play it on me on their turn so I can take two shots at whatever basestars are left.
(Edited for clarification)

I'm OK sharing the sky with some raiders for a couple turns. I'm pushing for taking out the basestar first.

Admiral Adama, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.

Is that the one that's five games in one? I'd be interested to hear how it plays.
I got Dominion for my sister. It was quite fun and I think I might get it for myself at some point. We were a bit confused setting it up, but it's easy to teach once you've played. And it goes fairly quickly. Definitely better with 4 than 2.

And I would have been happy to do that, but no one was currently in Weapons Control, otherwise I would have XOed them instead. I'm trying to get the most bang for our buck here. Destroying two raiders and possibly getting a hit on a basestar seemed more advantageous than taking a single shot at a basestar myself.
BSG
I like your thinking Helo. Works for me. Of course, with a few raiders in the zone now, a nuke wouldn't be a bad idea too. But, the damage will come from the raiders, so I like the 'poor mans version of MF".
BSG
Viper Pilots get your asses in frakking gear and take out some of those raiders!
So yes, I use both of my actions to activate Command and attack with the vipers.
Also, I'm going to use my special ability this turn to grab all the skill cards played in the last turn.
