Things on Caprica have not been going well. This radiation sickness is not pretty. If this continues, communication may be difficult, but I'm hoping for the best.

Please discuss and I'll log back in tonight from my parents' house with my decision.

I don't have strong opinions either way. We've managed to build up some skill card resources over the last few turns, so if Zarek and the Chief think they can discard cheaply, that's ok. If we take the -2 penalty, 6 Food is still pretty manageable. It might give us another option for ensuring a human sympathiser too.

So basically I'll happily go along with whatever the players losing cards prefer.

Ugh. Sorry to hear that, I hope you get better soon. We have dreaded lurgi over here too. Baby Boomer has a chest infection, and he's being generous with it.

If the food situation grows dire I'm pretty sure some of the civvies are hoarding and there's a good chance (with a little help in the strategic planning department) that I can convince the council to help me distribute the food more evenly.

If things get really bad I have this recipe for something called long pig.

I choose option #1. So be it.

"Civilians don't want to live on crackers, let alone a thimble of water a day. But if the President's recipe is what I think it is, they'd frakkin' well better get used to it."

...

Really, I just wanted to get "thimble of water a day" in there somewhere.

Be sure to work that into your next Inspirational Speech.

There's a Crisis Card in the Pegasus expansion, called Food Hoarding in the Fleet (President's Choice). If you decide to end the hoarding, you risk destroying one of the civvies.

BSG

The decision has been made. Y'all have to survive on Wheat Thins for awhile.

Raiders move one step closer to civilians. Those in sector 2 are now in sector 3. Those in sector 1 are now in SECTOR 6! Jump track advances. That concludes this round.

Apollo has been notified of his card draw. As we await his move and action, I want to point out that sector 6 does have 5 raiders, and only 2 RSV. So that little civilian ship has the chance of 3 raiders attacking it.

BSG

What did Apollo choose for his card draw?

BSG

Okay kids, this is the first time I've played a pilot so I'm working out the best things to do here.

It does look like setting some hits in on the raiders in Sector 6 would be a good thing. I could move to Sector Six and then start an attack.

With a maximum firepower I could should be able to do some damage in that sector. Thoughts from folks?

BSG

However, there was some confusion and I do not have a maximum firepower to play, that that blitz is off the table.
