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

How many cylons can the nuke take out?

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

Possible outcomes are: damage a basestar twice; destroy a basestar; destroy a basestar and 3 raiders in the same space.

Did Apollo already use his CAG ability this game?

Negative. And I could not launch them into sector 4 where they are needed right now. I do not think this is the right time to go CAG.

You can't launch into Sector 4, but note that the CAG OPG ability gives you six viper activations. You can activate six vipers once, or one viper six times or anything in between. Each activation may be used to launch, move or fire, in any order as you see fit.

Well hot damn. See, things you learn when you remember you are Apollo. I'm happy to go CAG on their asses if Adama is happy to Nuke sector 3. (can I go CAG anytime? I forget already. I blame work. Making brain turn to old kitchen sponge filled with cold soapy water).

Using your CAG ability takes an action, so you need to have an action to spend in order to use it.

So close. Hmm. how to do this and keep those 3 puppies near the starship. Anyone got ideas?

Nukes can't save the civvies. I think Kalshane is right about moving them.

Or yeah, if you xo omnis, he can move some vipers in to cover them.

Ya, I can't disagree with that.
