Congratulations nuggets. You just passed your first Crisis Card. How does it feel? Wanna hit the showers? Well, you can't. You got some flying toasters! As much as you wish it was a screen saver for the DRADIS, it's not. Those blips are bad guys. And oh look, that mother ship has given birth to the cutest little Heavy Raider. Boy it's a chubby baby. Looks nothing like the mother. Judging by the boxiness of it, I'm guessing it's the milkman's kid. And for passing the check, the card says you get NOTHING. Bwahahaha! Love it. Like Christmas opening an empty box. But if you don't get your pockets picked, I guess you get the gift of not losing anything, right. Except all those pretty cards. Can't help but look at the card collections and see some empty hands. Should make the next check fun!
So, we add a heavy raider into Sector 1. We advance the Jump Track one step. And that's about it.

Now onto Round 1.3 Helo. This should be a bit quicker. No move or action needed. I will send card draw to Helo, and crisis card info to all shortly.

Ok, our first skill check went well, good job. We are very short on cards, though. I will reiterate my offer to work the Press Room should the Admiral see clear to give me an XO.

"What the frak..."
No, BillyBoomer, I don't think having you draw cards would be the wisest course of action. Short on cards though we may be, I am more concerned about wasting some of these guys before they start shooting our civilians or trying to board. Or shooting Galactica.
Tempting though it may be, I think it would be unwise to use the nukes on the first round of the game.
Since the massive deployment ability makes basestars even WORSE than they usually are, I think that should be target priority, especially since the civvies aren't immediately in danger.
Move to Weapons Control. Fire on one of the basestars.
Are there any objections to me using Strategic Planning to boost the die roll?

Wow, I leave my desk for a meeting and my turn starts and finishes before I get back.that will teach you to go to a meeting. Ya snooze you loose.
Move to Weapons Control. Fire on one of the basestars.Wow, that was quick. The admiral, playing to character, is asking for no advice, and plowing ahead. Being decisive. Rock on. I'll wait to fire until we hear if it's ok for you to play an interrupt.
