An XO to the Admiral could be a good idea. A nuke stands a chance of destroying the raiders with the basestar too.

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

I can definitely help with those nukes.
Do you suggest I fire both of them? I would like to hold onto 1, but I could use my second action to draw blue (in case we take more damage and something happens to chief?) or move to weapons or hangar bay for future action.

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.

We definitely shouldn't waste them both here. I'm kind of on the fence about even using one, as it doesn't seem quite dire enough. But moving to Weapons Control, or Communications with the second "action" would be useful. If we can get Helo to XO someone in Weapons Control and take advantage of his re-roll ability, that'd be really helpful.

One rules point: an XO can grant you a move and then an action, or two actions. It doesn't grant an action and then a move. Moving to Weaps or Comms would be a good idea, but you'd have to do that before taking an action.
I would suggest too, it could be a significant risk for Helo to XO the Admiral. Tigh goes right after Helo, so if Helo XOs him and he turns out to be a Cylon, he would get three actions in a row without us being able to do anything. (I don't think he is a Cylon, it's just a basic precaution.)

As an FYI, I could XO someone to do something, but I agree that I'd rather that person not be Tigh for the reasons that billytea states.
I don't know about using the nuke, but I definitely don't think we should use two.

I agree, two nukes would probably be overkill right now. If the Admiral can scout, that could make a useful second action.

Just a reminder of a room often forgotten. Communications.
Action: Look at the back of 2 civilian ships. You may then move them to adjacent area(s).Since nobody is in that room, it would be either a move for the President, which would be a card loss since he is on Air Force One.
So then it would be an XO, with a move to the room and one action. But you could look at two of the ships. Then have them.
Just an idea for those who are hesitant to use nukes.

My hand is at home but I think I can scout? I am honestly not sure though. I think if all the discards I did recently was those 2 purple 1s, then I still have something in my hand I can scout with.
If not, XOing someone to move civvies is also a good idea. I'd forgotten about that. You can also do that to anyone on the ship, so if you're afraid I'm a Cylon you don't have to XO me. I wish I could just prove I'm not a Cylon, but since I can't, I understand your caution. Of course, anyone else could be Cylon and also do awful things when XOed. That's the risks.

At the moment, I can't scout, but that may change on my turn. It might make more sense for Zarek to XO Tigh to move to communications to move/inspect ships, and then, if necessary, me to XO Zarek or Boomer to move to Weapons Control (with my reroll ability).

Sounds like a plan.
So at this point we're just waiting for Zarek to make a final decision?
