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

At some point we're going to get crisis that hits another resource. Hopefully.

I agree that the food hit is a better choice, if only for the fact Apollo has to discard randomly, so he can't just dump his weak cards.

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

BSG

President Zarek (now under new management!) has chosen the food loss. Food drops to 6.

Cylon activation: the two basestars fire on Galactica.

Basestar 1: 7. Hit! FTL Control damaged.
Basestar 2: 8. Hit! Armoury damaged.

No one was in either of those locations, so no one is sent to Sickbay.

Finally, the jump prep marker advances by 1. That concludes Apollo's turn. Helo starts his turn in Sickbay, and his draw is therefore limited to 1 card. He has opted to draw Green. Helo, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, plesae post your move and action.

So FTL is down. So much for my grand plan of jumping us the frak out of here and using my re-roll ability to reduce the risk of losing population.

Those Basestars are tearing us apart. I move to Weapons Control and play a G1 XO on Adama.

"I respectfully suggest we nuke those tin-plated frakkers in Sector 3, sir. Maybe follow up by ordering that nugget in Sector 5 to take a couple potshots at that heavy raider since we're not in any condition to repel boarders at the moment."

I've got a SP, though would prefer if someone with more cards than I do played one instead. If no one else steps up, I'll play it for the nuke roll and I'll use my re-roll ability for any result less than destroying the basestar and the 3 raiders in the sector. (Since with an SP we're garaunteed to destroy it with a nuke.)

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

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

I do not have Strategic Planning at this time.

I don't have Strategic Planning either.

Our wings are not tired

I have Strategic Planning.

BSG

I nuke the basestar in Sector 3 and use a Strategic Planning card on the roll.

I also use Command to order the RSV in sector 5 to take out some toasters!

BSG

Admiral Adama has fired a nuke at the basestar in Sector 3, and has used an SP-3 on the die roll.

Nuke roll: 5 + 2 = 7. Basestar and three raiders destroyed!

For his second action, Adama activates Command for the RSV in Sector 5 to attack the heavy raider twice. This die roll may also be modified by an SP, so we'll pause for interrupts. Everyone, please pass or play. In addition, Helo's reroll was not needed against the basestar, and may be applied to attacking the heavy raider. Helo, do you wish to use your reroll on either the first or second shot, if need be?

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

bsg

I pass on sp for the attack on the raider.

Good shooting Pop! Cleared half the big guys out of the sky.

bt- did the basestar in sector 1 have damage from earlier??
