    Well...at least we have human turns inter-dispersed and it isn't five of them in a row.

    So Zarek will probably activate Ships on his turn leaving us a board like this:

    Space:
    1 O'Clock:
    3 O'Clock: [Raider]
    5 O'Clock: => [Unmanned Viper] [4 Civilian Ships] [Heavy Raider] [5 Raiders]
    7 O'Clock: => [Basestar] [6 Raiders]
    9 O'Clock: [Heavy Raider] [2 Raiders]
    11 O'Clock:

    And with six civilian ships destroyed.

    Adama is in the Brig, so he would likely have to XO someone. Then we have two Cylons after him. Best case scenario right now is Chief pulls a crisis with jump prep and we jump at -3 on Adama's turn.

    And I really hope Adama or Tigh has a strategic planning.

    10. Arivia - "Chief" Galen Tyrol - Research Lab - 5

    * Used their once per game ability.

    Jump Track: [Start] [No Jump] [No Jump] [-3] [-1] [Auto Jump]
    Distance Travelled: 4
    Civilian Ships: 10 in Use, 0 in Reserve, 2 Destroyed.
    Boarding Party: (1/5)
    Raptors: 0 In Reserve
    Vipers: 0 in Reserve, 1 in Use, 6 Damaged, 1 Destroyed

    5 O'Clock: => [Unmanned Viper] [4 Civilian Ships] [Raider]
    7 O'Clock: => [4 Civilian Ships] [Basestar] [Heavy Raider] [8 Raiders]
    9 O'Clock: [1 Civilian Ship] [3 Raiders]
    11 O'Clock: [Raider]

    Communications Jamming: No one may activate communications until the next jump.

    Turn Progress:
    1. Recieve Skills Step
    2. Movement Step

    4. Crisis Step
    5. Activate Cylon Ships Step (if necessary)
    6. Prepare for Jump Step (if necessary)
    7. Discard and Check for Human Defeat.

    After fixing up some birds, Chief makes a call to Starbuck. Turns out he was human after all, but Starbuck, not so much.

    She decides to 1 Tactics - launch a scout to better plan out her betrayal. 2, but the Raptor never returns from its destination. Her mad cackling while jumping out the Airlock is quite disconcerting, -1 morale.

    Crisis!
    Build Cylon Detector
    Commander, the truth is…there is one way. I didn't want to have to ask you for this, but what I really need to complete the project…is a nuclear warhead. -Gaius Baltar
    Admiral Chooses
    Discard 1 nuke token. If you do not have any nuke tokens, you may not choose this option.
    Or
    -1 morale, and the Admiral discards 2 Skill Cards.
    [Heavy Raider]

    Without any nukes to use for this worthwhile endeavor, the fleet is quite taken aback. -1 Morale, Admiral Agathon has no cards to discard.

    Cylon Activation
    Some centurions have stopped by for the party you're throwing at 5 O'Clock.
    The Heavy Raider ferrying more party goers moves from 9 to 7 O'Clock.

    Ryadic, what do you want to draw?

    As my first action, I launch a scout (Tactics 1) on the Crisis deck.

    Whatever the results are, as my second action, I reveal as a Cylon. (-1 Morale) Valkun, can you resend my hand before I discard?

    Zarek, I believe now's the time to activate those raiders and end this chase. This is the perfect opportunity to wipe out the human race.

    Welcome to the good fight and your plan sounds like a sound one. :)

    I'm going out in a little bit, but I'll be back later tonight most likely on here. If not, I'll get it first thing in the morning.

    Valets from the Galactica bring in some Heavy Raiders from 7 O'Clock.

    I could use an XO to try to fish out some AoBFs I think. If we let you out and pull heavy raiders on your turn we are frakked, also I don't have any cards and neither does Spork so busting out may not work that well.

    I think Adama should try and get out of the brig. If you survive this onslaught you'll need all the active people you can get.

    So supposing I had drawn an ABOF, which space should we use it on?

    I'm thinking at 7. If we reduce the Raiders from 8 to 5, when Simon activates raiders, it should only move one to 5, so our Civs in 5 will have two raiders attacking them if Baltar chooses to activate them.

    Do you have to kill raiders only in one square?

    I cant remember the wording of the card, but killing one at 3 oclock and the rest at 9 would be sweet if it were possible.

    Authorization of Brutal Force
    Action: Destroy 3 raiders, 1 heavy raider, or 1 centurion. Then roll a die, and if 2 or less, lose 1 population. Then discard this card.

    It can be split up amongst different space areas.

    Hm. Why would killing two at 9 do anything? That one raider there would still destroy the one civ there. I'm thinking one at 3, and two at 7.
