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!
BSG
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.
BSG
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.
BSG
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.
BSG
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.
BSG
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.
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?
BSG
Alas, no, I am as lacking Strategic Planning as ever.
BSG
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.
BSG
Per my COs, there are no interrupts on this die roll.
And the result is...
3!
That means morale is also now in the red, at 5. And you've gone from 12 population at the beginning of this round to 9 at the end. Is the upside you only lost 25% of your population? Only time will tell.
