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.

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

What did Apollo choose for his card draw?

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?

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

one of each, so he drew 1 Purple, 2 Red, 1 Yellow, 1 Green.

I think that's a pretty good choice. Light 'em up, Captain! That's what we say, right? Is that right?

Edit: or not.

If you don't have an MF but you do have an XO, you could XO the Chief. He can activate Comms twice, which would be enough to draw all the civvies into Sector 5 with you.

I do have an XO so that is an option.

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

BSG

I agree it's a good time to check out those civvies. Maybe the one in Sector 6 isn't even manned.

We also have the option of jumping early (with the risk of losing population).
