Could have sworn we had a discussion about that last game and it was decided it was allowed.
I think that's right. This is an area that's a bit ambiguous the way it's written, and megan ruled the other way. I've committed to running this game per the FAQ, so to keep everything consistent, I'll stick with this ruling.
(Note: if you have the chance to draw extra cards during the game, the ruling is in the other direction. You are limited to your own colours unless otherwise stated, but not to the amount you normally draw.)
BSG
Ooh, looks like a good mix of the base/Pegasus/Exodus. Hope you guys are having fun up there in your fancy spaceships while I'm stranded on Caprica.
I'll take 1G and 2P.
Is that Admiral Helo, stranded on Caprica?
BSG
Yeah, I'm going to be barking orders REALLY LOUDLY. Hope you can hear me up there. And, uh, come rescue me before you get attacked.
BSG
Yeah, I'm going to be barking orders REALLY LOUDLY.
For tonight's game, the part of Admiral Helo will be played by a high-strung pomeranian.
That's everyone's draw. Cards are going out now. Dee's turn is first. Dee, when you've received your cards and are ready, please post your move and action.
BSG
(Just as a note, I'm about to leave for a couple hours.)
I'm in the Firefly w & p
BSG
I think this is the first time we've had an Admiral Helo.
I just realized with Pegasus it's possible to start with an Admiral Tigh and a President Tigh. Should the humans just say "We quit" at that point?
BSG
Here it is, the opening set-up. Note: the Battlestar Pegasus adds four more locations to the game. At the movment, Pegasus is completely abandoned by the crew.
