I recall having the re-roll/SP debate when I played Helo. I could be wrong, but it rings a bell. I also recall the answer is NO! And for continuity sake, we will maintain that call.
So? We have a roll on call. Does anyone wish to play a P3-5 SP to help that roll? It would turn the roll into a 50% rather than the 75% it normally is.
BSG
I pass on interrupts.
BSG
OK, I have CO's from everyone now on this roll. We need a 6 or better to jump the fleet without killing anyone. The Magic 8 ball rolls a 2!
Ouch. Just as one of the civilian ships FTL doesn't spin up. Helo enacts his once per turn ability to re-roll! And that roll is: 1! Ouch. Sorry about that. Since you are in the Blue -1 spot on the jump track, then we drop a population to make this jump. E-mail being formed to the Admiral to pick a destination. Once that is decided, we will go with action #2.
BSG
While we wait for the Admiral to make a choice, I have dealt the two yellow cards to the Chief. He took the last of the deck, so Politics has been reshuffled.
eta: Also, while we are passing along info. With the jump (when it's decided on destination) it will clear the communications jamming, so now you can activate Comm's and move ships.
BSG
Well, that didn't work.
I still feel good about our chances. Population is still doing okay, and hopefully we'll get a good jump that takes us more than 1 distance. With both toasters reveled, Crisises are going to be harder to pass and resources are going to take a beating, so the faster we can make progress, the better.
BSG
Well, that didn't work.
Well, at least we didn't waste an SP. And we needed to jump.
BSG
And Gemenon chooses to stay behind, because Gemenon knows how to ROCK!! Am I right? Yeah, you know it.
With both toasters reveled
TOTALLY reveled. You would not believe the revels here. We wrote the Book of REVEL-ation here. REVEL NATION, know what I'm saying? We're revels without a cause. Revels without a pause, that's the basestar life.
Sorry, what were we talking about again?

BSG
I picked the card with the highest distance on it...
Which is 2.
And we lose 2 fuel.
But I reckon if we can survive to jumping one more time we will make that Distance 8.
BSG
Excellent. For those of you playing at home, that is Barren Planet card.
I've already done the yellow cards for action 2. So that draws us to the end of the move/action phase. Onto Crisis phase! Let's see what the Gods of Kobul have in store for you.
Water Sabotaged!
