I thought we were at the point where we drew the crisis card. But I've had a few margaritas, so what do I know?

But you dealt Apollo his cards:

Apollo has opted for green cards on this turn.

But you dealt Apollo his cards:

I didn't myself (I'm in the Brig! It's not fair!), but yes, he has received his card draw. He hasn't yet taken his move and action for his turn. Scouting the Crisis deck was a bonus action he got on Chief Tyrol's turn, through his AVP ability. Things got out of order because we went from the Chief's Crisis Card to Apollo's card draw without him having the chance to declare his AVP. We had to rewind to let him use it. Now that's all done, we go back to where we'd got up to, which is the move and action on his turn.

That's not what I thought was happening. We had the crisis card, Omnis did his end of round summary, then he dealt out the cards to Apollo for his turn. I don't know how after that, we can go back and do something on Chief's turn, when it was already over.

Well, because Apollo's ability lets him interrupt when new ships get placed on the board, as happened with Chief's Crisis Card. But the whole card got resolved in a single post, and we were onto his turn six minutes later. He didn't get a chance to interrupt until after then.

Sorry for all the confusion. bt recapped perfectly. I forgot about Apollo's special ability to hop in a viper placed via crisis card, so then there was some back tracking that needed doing.

We are back on target. We are waiting for Apollo to announce his MOVE and ACTION .

BSG

So what are the options for firing on the basestars? I didn't think vipers were that great against them. We don't have anyone in weapons control.

BSG

I'm not in front of a manual, but I want to say you need perfect rolls to damage.

You could XO someone to go to weaps.

BSG

Unfortunately I do not have an XO to use.

I will move my viper into Sector 5 with the civilian ship and then play an additional P1 to again scout the crisis deck.

You're reading it right (and one of my fondest memories from running the game is watching Random McApollo convincing Boomer to take her lone viper up against a basestar and use two Max Firepowers on it). We have these options for hitting basestars:

1. Weapons Control. Hits on 5+.

2. A viper. Hits only on 8+, so not very likely.

3. The Admiral can fire a nuke. Results:
1-2: Damage the basestar twice. (One token does double damage, so there's still a 50% chance of causing 3 damage and destroying it.)
3-6: Destroy the basestar.
7+: Destroy the basestar, and up to 3 raiders in the same sector.

Pity we only get two of them, huh?

Oh, and finally: Pass on interrupts.

Boomer: Pass
Zarek:
Helo:
Tigh:
Chief:
Apollo:
