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.
That's my girl... That's my good girl.

(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.)

Okay, looking at the options, well, I think we're screwed. But we gotta make a stand, and I think if ever there were a good time for the big guns, this may be it, other than after whatever chaos will follow the next Cylon turn. There is a basestar in the same sector as three raiders, so if we got superbly lucky, we could take out quite a bit. But we could also not get superbly lucky, and I don't have an SP to help out.
So it's risky. But it might be worth the risk. I'm certainly willing to try to get some vipers moving, as it is, as they say, a target rich environment out there. It's just a matter of what we think will be most effective.
You know, before we all succumb to our inevitable doom. What? I'm not exactly known for my sunny and optimistic disposition!

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

It would simplify our defensive position, it's true.
I launch a nuke at the basestar in Sector 5, and play an SP-3 on the roll.

And the roll is....
a 5!
But the SP makes it
7!
I'm not sure how you launch a nuke a destroy all those cylons without hurting the RSV and civvie at the same time, but you seem to have done it.

Given your current situation, Informing the Public doesn't seem like much of a crisis... but there it is. Details to be sent in email.

Yay, nuke! Yay, jump track!
I could help with the skill check, I could not help with the die roll. Die roll looks like the better deal but my decision making has not gotten us great results lately so I'm not sure if I would listen to me.

Through sheer force of will! In the Exodus expansion, if you roll an 8 when using a nuke, you destroy everything in that sector. Civvies, raiders, space piranha, everything.
Anyway, on to the latest crisis. If I chose the die roll, Helo, do you have an SP?

Pity, that. Well, failing the die roll isn't so bad anyway, so let's do that.
I choose the die roll, pass on interrupts.
This will leave me at 2 cards over my hand limit, so I will need to discard. It's the same choice regardless of the die result:
I discard G1, G1.
