To aid in your cogitations:
1. I can supply an SP.
2. You raise a good point that we're likely to jump before the Centurions get too far. On the other hand, there are two of them. (And then again, I can make good use of both actions if XO'd, so that does raise efficiency.)
BSG
Eh, when in doubt, XO-1 Adama.
Wield your mighty power, Pradmojitohips.
BSG
It's just... a jump to the left!
Action 1: Play LS-1 on the Destination Deck, pass on interrupts
And then a step to the ri-i-i-i-i-ight
Action 2: Activate President's Office
I'll see my first draw before deciding whether to put my hands on my hips or bring my knees in tight.
In non-BSG news. We played Dominion last night. Way big fun. At first I was put off by the fact that it's a card game but it came in a big square box so I was all, "where is the board? Where are the tokens?" But after some initial fear that it was toooo hard I quickly caught on and I want to play again, now! omnis, you must come over and play some time.
Dominion is a ton of fun. It is high on my list of games to buy.
We played a bunch of games of Dominion over Christmas, trying all their suggested card combinations. In the end, the ones we came up with were much better than the groups they suggest, but it's good to start with theirs to get a feel for the different cards.

Okay, I have COs for interrupts on the Destination scouting mission, of which there are none. However, you do have Helo's re-roll.
But, once again, it turns out that you do not need his manly arms as you have rolled... a 5!
Details on the scouting mission and then the Quorum card to be sent to the Pradmiral.
I've never played Dominion. I'd probably enjoy it a lot - card games have long been a favourite of mine. However, it costs $75 here. My premium card game itch is currently serviced by Race for the Galaxy, which I've played hundreds of times, possibly into the thousands by now, and still come back to it. (I mention this because the one complaint I've heard about Dominion is that its replayability tapers off after a while for a lot of people.)

Bury that destination. Not what we're looking for.

Hmmm, how much is shipping to Aus? It's only $32 on Amazon here. I'm happy to order and reship. I work right next to a post office.

Race for the Galaxy is far more complicated than Dominion, which is pretty simple. However there are something like 25 sets of cards and you only play with 10 at a time so you can change it up for a while, especially as people get stuck in strategies. And Dominion is a far quicker game to play and would be much easier for newbies.
