You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG

wah. Sector 5, please.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

BSG

This just gets better and better.

Question, BT: Full Throttle can be used as a move or an action. Is it possible to play 2 in one turn?

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

BSG

That's one I haven't come across before. I'd rule that you can; there's nothing on the card saying otherwise, unlike (say) an XO. And, being Starbuck, you could still have another action as well.

Okay. Lots of crazy plans, none of them amount to as much as I'd like. Since I didn't draw another MF, hopefully this one gives us the most bang for the buck.

Move: Play Full Throttle 1 to Move to Sector 5 to fire on one of the raiders.

Action 1: Play Full Throttle 2 to Move back to Sector 6 and fire on one of the raiders.

Action 2: Play an XO 1 on Mr. Gaeta. Gaeta, how about firing up those batteries on Pegasus and training them on Sector 4? No civvies there to worry about hurting, but those guys will be heading into Sector 5 on their next activation.

I'd also like to reitarate to Team Human the usefullness of hanging out in a location that can be activated twice in one turn, to take maximum advantage of an XO.

Command, Comms, Weapons Control (and CIC and Main Batteries on Pegasus), the Press Room (and to a lesser degree the Research Lab) as well as the Hanger Deck for Pilots, all grant us a benefit if they're activated twice in one turn. (Or in the case of the Hangar Deck, allows a pilot to act twice with their viper after launching).

Any of the other locations, while useful when needed, can just as easily be moved to when XOed without us losing anything. (The rare exception being FTL Control, if the person there also has a Launch Scout card they want to play.)

It's as good a plan as any. Unfortunately I didn't draw SP. I move to the Main Batteries and Fire on Sector 4.

Starbuck enacts her most daring plan yet! It's just a jump to the left...

Sector 5 attack: 8. Hit!

And a step to the right!

Sector 6 attack: 4. Hit!

Put your hands on your hips (XO to Gaeta), and bring your knees in tight (well, knee):

Main batteries: 5. 2 raiders destroyed!

A total of 4 raiders in three different sectors. The Cylons quickly realise that in order to press their attack, they need to neutralise Starbuck, and that means neutralising her supply of bottled water:

Starbuck, when you're ready, please post your choice.

I think we can stand to lose the food.

Nice. It took 3 cards to manage the equivalent of one Max Firepower, but hey, it worked.

Yeah. I say we take the food loss and move on.

I choose -1 Food

Side Note: I'm pretty sure Roslin discarded something to move to FTL Control on her last turn.
