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.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?

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

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".

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.

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

Frak! Didn't think about the fact that had to be done before the end of the last turn, requiring the discard. I thought you'd be sitting there with 17 cards until the end of this turn. Oh, well. Still a good move.

The vipers in Sector 5 attack the raiders twice. I have passes on interrupts.
Viper 1:
5. Hit!
Viper 2:
3. Hit! (Barely.) Both raiders destroyed.
I have COs from Admiral Adama. Since both raiders are destroyed, he will use his second action to launch a scout (P2). There's a die roll to determine the success of the scouting mission. I'll pause for SP interrupts. Everyone, please pass or play.
