BATTLESTAR GALACTICA PLAY-BY-FORUM--SESSION 1

I have no additional cards to play at this time.

I start out shooting at Raiders, and if I get lucky on the first three rolls, I take my last shot at the Heavy Raider.

Apollo ! - I'm on one of those raiders, hold off - remember who you are.

[Frak - how do you turn that frakking music on]

No card play on my part. Good luck Apollo! Smoke some Toasters.

Good Hunting Apollo!

Update forthcoming at approximately 2PM CST.

Roll the dice!


Result 1: 2 = MISS!
Result 2: 6 = RAIDER DESTROYED!
Result 3: 1 = MISS!
Result 4: 6 = RAIDER DESTROYED!




Apollo deftly wove his way through the advancing fighters. Several of his shots went wide, but several found their mark as well.

CRISIS STEP!


Vindicated during the investigations, Tigh pressed forward, requiring that all key military personnel submit themselves to the new Cylon screenings.

Action Queue:

==> SHELLHEAD (Apollo) to make choice on current crisis card

We can't take the chance of losing even one point of Morale right now, so I choose that we each lose 2 skill cards. That will affect both sides equally, assuming that we still have a hidden Cylon or are about to get one shortly.

#Apollo chooses: each player discards two skill cards.

My discards are random, but that should be okay, because I've got some redundancy right now.

If possible, somebody should Executive Order me soon to get over to Delta Sector to protect all those civilian ships. The two unmanned Vipers here in Foxtrot should be able to handle the one remaining Raider for now. And if that Heavy Raider gets Centurions on board, you folks inside can handle that.

That or XO me to move 4 ships out of the way.

Starbuck discards 2 cards

Well I think Apollo has bucked any cylon tendancies with that move.

Ken - you sure you put two cylon cards in ... I can always volunteer to be a cylon 'cos it's bloody frustrating being a sympathiser, watching only one cylon playing and being able to do shit all about it.

Laura we need you to XO Shellhead. Apollo's plan could possibly work. Don't XO Starbuck she could help us but she could also do a lot of damage.

Discarded to cards

And how will I do that with no cards? Apollo has stripped me bare.

Of Cards.

You're about to get some more cards in the very near future.

Recommended course of action:

1. XO me so I can defend civilian ships in Delta Sector. (Madame Roslin)
2. Improve morale. (Admiral/President Tigh?)
3. Jump early (if we get within -3 pop striking range), or else repair Command. (Starbuck)

With the Vipers we've already got out, I can hold off this massive attack for a while, assuming we have coverage on Delta.

Optimism is a good strategy too. Fingers crossed, we catch a break. Good luck everyone.
