Ok guys, what shall I do for my turn? If we get a raider activation on my Crisis, Baltar could activate them again on his turn, and they'll get first shot against the viper and civvie in Sector 6. To counter that, we could use someone back in Command or Communications.
I'm thinking maybe XO the Chief back to Command, he can launch a couple more birds. Helo, if you XO him too on your turn, he can get up to four shots off at the raiders.
Alternatively, Helo, I could XO you to try again against the Centurions. On your turn you could jump in a viper yourself, possibly go all Maxium Firepower on the raiders.
What do you guys think?
BSG
Note: I just rolled again to see what would happen and again got a 1.
You're rolling a penny, aren't you? Heads it's a 1, tails it's 2.
BSG
Aren't I supposed to be using a penny? Should I try a nickel?
BSG
I'd say you should be using a shiny button, but I'm a traditionalist. The young, 'hip' GMs are probably using pogs or whatnot these days. Bah. What can a pog teach you of life?!
BSG
Hee, the low die rolls are cracking me up.
I do think I should get into a viper on my next turn. What we should do meanwhile, I'm not sure. I can take more potshots at the centurions, surely the force will be with me at some point, but we can all see how well that's been going thus far. Maybe we should change tactics to change our luck.

Is the other option in our arsenal using Galactica itself to shoot at stuff? I`m not at my laptop right now. It is far far away, i.e, not on this couch in front of the fire.
BSG
If you get in a viper on your turn, are you able to hand them...
Maximum
ass-whupping? If so, then maybe we'll risk the Cylon activation this turn, and I'll get you to scout (and possibly try to shoot a Centurion again).

Galactica has its own weapons, which are our best option against basestars but less efficient than vipers against raiders (one Weapnos Control action gets one shot, while one Command action can get two shots). I'm more worried about the five raiders than the basestar right now, though if we get another one, that could change.
BSG
Well, when I actually look at my cards rather than remembering them (wrong, as it turns out) I can't guarantee maximum ass-whuppage after all. Chief to Command is looking the better choice.
BSG
Okeedoke.
I play an XO-2 on the Chief.
Chief, you have the run of the ship.
