A2: Play Assign Mission Specialist and give it to Andy

[Yakumo]

Turn 8/9 - Current Board

With Apollo's help, President Baltar is able to convince the rest of the civilian leadership that Chief Tyrol's alibi for the time of the Cylon sabotage is airtight.  Chief Tyrol is not only released, but placed in charge of the scouting team for the next FTL jump.

Lady Door played Executive Order on Nitori.  Nitori activated the President's Office twice, drawing two cards and playing Presidential Pardon and Assign Mission Specialist, both on AndrewRogue.

Presidential Pardon - ACTION: Move any other player from the "Brig" to any other location on Galactica.

Assign Mission Specialist - ACTION: Draw 2 Politics cards and give this card to any other player.  Keep this card in play.  The next time the fleet jumps, this player chooses the destination instead of the Admiral.  He draws 3 Destination Cards(instead of 2) and chooses 1.  Then discard this card.

Not long after Chief's release, the DRADIS radar system picks up multiple contacts.  The Cylons have tracked down the human fleet, and to make things worse, they have jammed the fleet's communications, leaving several civilian ships in danger with no way to warn them.  Vipers are immediately launched to try and protect the fleet.


----------
Crisis: Jammed Assault


Instructions:
1: Activate Raiders(no raiders or basestars on board yet, ignored)
2: Setup: 1 Basestar, 2 Heavy Raiders, 4 Raiders, 2 Vipers, and 4 Civilian Ships.
3: Special Rule - Communications Jamming: Keep this card in play until the fleet jumps.  Players may not activate the "Communications" location.

No Jump Prep.

Oh, unless you guys want it to be handled otherwise, I'm going to default to resolving preloaded evasives(and other cards like it) in skill check order.  That way the player who is getting more cards soonest is the one that's playing first.
