    I can get this, but it would empty out my hand for the most part. Any cards you play Apollo would be greatly appreciated.

    All I can do.

    Play 5 - Declare Emergency.

    Playing this game made me realize I hadn't finished BSG the series, I spent the weekend working on fixing that.

    As if we needed confirmation, the Admiral is indeed a Cylon. I suggest we brig him asap.

    well cylon helo if I was a cylon (which i am not of course) i would be tempted to play my super crisis card if it was not a cylon attack card especially if it had activate raiders on it or perhaps maybe just activate raiders since they are all nice and gathered in one area with all those poor civilian ships...

    So what to do now? I would love to brig Adama, which could be done be giving Roslin an XO and then she could use her OPG and hopefully draw an arrest order.

    But I think it's also important to clear up all the raiders, so maybe i should give Apollo the XO and let him use his OPG + a maximum firepower totaling 9 attacks (launch 1 viper, activate it 5 times + 4 from MF)

    Or we can just jump out of here - but then the cylon admiral would choose another sucky destination.

    I think we should stay and kill the raiders, but what do you guys think?

    I do not have anything to increase the number of raider I could shoot down. I think the best course of action would be brigging the Admiral.

    Why would Roslin be the choice to do that? - Wouldn't she have to discard 2 cards to activate the office?

    we can brig Adama by using Admirals quaters - which I dont think will work since we dont have enough green/purple

    or we can brig him by using an arrest order which we dont have right now. There are 2 arrest orders left in the stack, the stack has 10 cards and Roslin draws 4 using her OPG, I think that amounts to a 66% chance that Roslin draws at least 1 of the arrest order cards.

    But even if we brig Adama my crisis will probably still activate the raider and you will probably still get blown out of the air and we will loose 3 civilians.

    A different approach would be:
    1 of the civilians is a decoy, so we could leave that in sector 5 and then move 1 of the other to sector 6 and the other to sector 4. The ship with the lowest pop would be moved to sector 6 and the raiders will go after that one. The raiders will eventually catch up to the ship in sector 6, but atleast the ship in sector 4 is safe as we should jump before there's 4 raider activations

    I don't think we'll get a chance to brig Adama after your crisis. I think he'll be revealing as soon as he's able.

    I think our best course of action is the XO on Rosalin and hope for an Arrest Order.

    If you XO me, I'd take two shots but that the best I can do. Unless I take my first action as my OPG.

    It's a tough call, both options have merit. Do we think the vipers can last a few more turns?

    It depends on the crisis cards. I am worried about surviving a hail of 7 shots, but we're also getting low on Viper supplies too. But I'll do what I can.

    I've been thinking about this all day now, and I think the best option is to make sure Apollo doesnt go to sickbay. Adama is probably gonna jump us or reveal, which in either case is not worse than Apollo going to sickbay.

    I guess there's never been a better time for Apollo's OPG:

    Move to Comand - play XO on Apollo

    Apollo, launch your best pilot and kill some raiders - let me see 6 kills

    the idea was:

    Launch 1 unmanned, activate it 5 times to attack
    Then use your second action to attack

    Oh. Ok. Then lets do that. I did not know that was something I could do.

    Action the first: Use my 1 Per Game to launch 1 viper into section 5. Spend remaining activations on firing.

    Action the second: Open fire on a raider.


    I am retarded. Sorry

    Baltar's crisis step:
    Thirty-Three CYLON ATTACK!

    1. Activate Raiders

    2. Setup:
    1x Basestar in Sector 1
    1x Viper in both Sector 5 and 6
    1x Civilian in Sectors 3, 4, 5, and 6

    3. Special Rule: Relentless Pursuit: Keep in play until a civilian ship or basestar is destroyed. If this card is in play when the fleet jumps, shuffle it back into the Crisis deck.

    Baltar draws a Tactics card for his Delusional Intuition

    Raiders Activate:
    3x Raiders attack 2 unmanned Vipers and Apollo in Sector 5
    1. Raiders attacking unmanned. 5-7 damaged, 8 destroyed: 1d8 3 = Miss
    2. Raiders attacking unmanned. 5-7 damaged, 8 destroyed: 1d8 8 = Destroyed
    3. Raiders attacking unmanned. 5-7 damaged, 8 destroyed: 1d8 1 = Miss
