Good job, team. I think this going to turn out to be a huge check for us. Sorry I couldn't help more (ie at all beyond the IC.) Glad our food is up to a less nerve-racking level, even if the pantry isn't exactly over-flowing.

Hopefully we can get away sickbay roulette and manage to get some cards in people's hands.

Since I am heading out to the opera house (but not The Opera House) for the evening, thoughts on my turn? For the immediate future, I can defend Sector 5, so I'm thinking about XOing Tigh to activate the vipers in Sector 6 to go after the raiders heading their way.

You could have Tigh launch more vipers, but I'd recommend against him moving them into sector 1 with the raiders as the raiders would likely be activated and be able to shoot the RSVs before they could shoot the raiders.

I suppose Tigh could activate 1 RSV 4 times, once to move it into sector 1, then 3 more times to shoot at raiders, but that would still leave it in a sector with one more raider. Though I suppose the chance of the raider being activated before someone else's turn and then actually destroying the RSV would be pretty low. So that could be plan.

Another plan would be to XO me so I could take a couple potshots at the basestars with Galactica's guns.

An exact pass! Well done team humans. Jeez toasters, try to give y'all a shot at hurting them. Pfft. Whatever.

Let's see what passing the check gets you. +1 Food! That is great!

Raiders are activated. So we have 2 in sector 5 with Helo and some civvies and a RSV. And 4 in sector 6 with 3 RSV and a couple civvies.

Jump Track is advanced, but still in the red. Yikes. Can't jump early. Better hope the next crisis card doesn't activate Raiders.

And that wraps up Zarek's turn. Stay tuned for the improved end of turn Summary!

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

you could also xo me to authorize maximum firepower.

Okay, scratch what I said before, I didn't realize there was a raider activation on this crisis. XOing Tigh to activate one of the RSVs in Sector 6 4 times to shoot at the raiders would be a very good idea right now.

Or there's Zarek's quorum card, though I don't know the exact details of that.

BSG

I think XOing Zarek should wait until we have more purple in hand (since there is a die roll involved, and with no SPs we risk population).

Move: Some loop de loops in Sector 5, but otherwise I choose not to move.
Action: Play a G2 to XO Tigh to be able activate 2 vipers (twice) in Sector 6 and attack those raiders.

Sounds like a plan.

Action 1 Activate 2 vipers in Sector 6 to fire upon the raiders there.

Action 2 Second verse, same as the first, a little bit louder and a little bit worse!

Hopefully Helo you can help with a reroll if things go poorly.

Oooh, thanks for reminding me. Yes, I'd like to use my reroll if anything goes south.
