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

I'm back & XOing Tigh. I'll post my card play in a moment.

It's a Green 1.

Laga: preferences for nuking or civvie checking?

Actually, I know Laga doesn't get online a whole lot, so I will go ahead and be Tigh-decisive-like.

Action 1: Shoot a nuke at the Basestar in Sector 2. We are hopefully just a couple jumps from home, I'm going to go ahead and make the call that it's okay to use 1 now.

Action 2: Play a Purple 1 to scout the Crisis Deck.

I will not play any interrupts on either action, but they are welcome from the rest of the crew if they see fit.

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

Pass on interrupts

Why sector 2, not 1?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Interesting question. Why Sector 2? I'll be a nice GM, and allow that order to hang a bit while we wait for words on interrupts.

Interrupts for the roll to Nuke a Basestar

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

Well, despite the location, if we're launching a nuke, I'd rather not waste it, I play a P4 Strategic Planning card.

I will not play an interrupt on the scouting action.

Well, that was quicker than I expected. I'm still willing to wait a second to determine which basestar will be fired at. Since it's a nuke, it's not an everyday thing. Hopefully I'll be home by 8pm board time. That is the deadline. Continue to discuss.

YES I effed up, I'm sorry. (I'm not a Cylon, I'm just incompetent.)

I was thinking the raiders move clockwise, hence hitting the basestar (and hopefully the raiders collaterally) in Sector 2 would be better to protect the civvies in Sector 4.

But I just re-read the rules, and they move closest to the civvies FIRST, and then only move clockwise if it doesn't matter which way they move.

So with a civvie in Sector 6 I should shoot the one in Sector 1, yes?

It looks like the GM is generously allowing a re-think on that... fine I'll wait I'll wait.

(Shoulda just checked the civvies; got excited about using my ability.)

I thought the same thing the first time I played.

Yes.
