After adding everything to the board, the 4 new raiders are activated in Sector 6.
Roll #1
1!
A miss!
Roll #2
8!
You sunk their battleship! (I'm sure the pilot of that RSV was like the son the Pradmiral never had.)
Roll #3
5!
More work for Chief!
Roll #4
7!
And the newly arrived civvie is down. Starbuck must be giving those raiders extra training. (That was a 1 population loss, folks.)
Wow! Finally some action! Too bad for Team Human.
BSG
Ninjas and pirates working together? Uh-oh.
BSG
Ok, team, group huddle! For my turn, I'm still thinking to XO the Chief to blast away at the raiders in Sector 5. It'll buy us some time. The alternative is that I could use a nuke on the basestar in Sector 5. With an SP on the roll, we have a 50/50 chance of taking out the three raiders with it. However, that means a 50/50 chance of leaving them there.
What do you guys think?

I think I got everything on there, but please check. Cards are on their way to the Pradmiral.
BSG
...and you do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself about...
BSG
Those both sound pretty good to me. I'll be no help with either.
BSG
Chief, your Admiral and President has reminded me that due to your recklessness, you must discard 1 card to reduce your hand to 8.
BSG
I can`t help it! Losing all those people, common people like you and me, it just makes me get so angry I lose my judgment! It makes me want to grow out my beard and start a labor uprising. But I guess that`ll have to wait until we`re all safely on Kobol and disillusioned with our lives. Which is looking like a slimmer and slimmer chance all the time, by the gods!
What I mean is, apparently I`m going to need those repair cards so I might as well
discard my B3.
Harumph.
BSG
BTW, the destruction of at least one civilian ship in that recent Cylon Attack means that Thirty-Three is no longer in play and has been discarded.
(I have to say, in a completely ooc way, I kinda love the combat in this game. There's so much that can happen and choosing the right reaction is challenging enough to be interesting. It's simple, but effective.)
