Turn 33 - Current Board

1. Activate Basestars(no effect)
2. Setup: 1 Basestar, 8 Raiders, 2 Vipers, and 3 Civilian Ships

You can't miss destroying raiders with that card, the roll is to see if you lose population as well.  Also, you need to tell me which group of raiders you're targeting.  I mean, I'm pretty sure I can guess but there are possible reasons you would want the other.

Oh yes, sorry for being misleading. I meant risking the Population on the die-roll was likely to back-fire. <_<

Play it on that section that has the two civvie ships.

The die roll was 1, 1 population was lost.  Three raiders were destroyed in the section behind Galactica.  Lady Door's cards have been sent.  Sorry for the delay.

Naturally. Stupid dice.

## MOVE my Viper-self to the Base Star space
## CAG! as follows:

1. The Viper that was sharing a space with me should now come join me.
2-4. Launch 3 Vipers from forward.
5-6. Move 2 of those Vipers to the space with the single civvie ship.


Gotta stay alive just a bit longer...

I realize that doesn't quite match what Lady Door posted above, but we had a discussion in IRC to correct some issues.

(Reserving my right to play last in the check.  Doubt we need full turn order, I just don't want to be out a big gun if the humans decide to punt.)

Skill checks start with the player after current and go from there, so current player does play last when turn order is enforced.  An odd rule, but that's how it goes.

Oops.

Still waiting to hear from my fellow not-robots. Also it is one of my fellow not-robots turn to play cards, technically speaking, so there's that.

24 isn't actually that bad since 4/5 card categories apply to it? We'd have to more or less dump our hands on it, but I think it can be done?

Theoretically we could survive it going off, but it would be a pain in the ass.

Basestar attack has a ~5% chance to kill you!  (but that happens regardless of pass/fail)

You already hit the fuel token and it doesn't get shuffled back in, so you actually can't kill them with one lucky Basestar shot, I'm afraid.  There's still fuel on a civvie somewhere though.
