Weapon Malfunction  11 PRB

Investigative Committee is in effect - play all cards face up.
 
Destiny: ENG-1 (Repair), PIL-1 (Evasive Maneuvers)
Zarek: 4-Strategic Planning
Adama: Pass
Baltar: 2-Repair
Boomer (Max 1): 2-Evasive Maneuvers
Chief (Max 1): 5-Investigative Committee
Apollo:

Total: 5

Consider CO's for the following:
Declare Emergency
Does Adama use Command Authority to take all skill cards into hand?

[Grujah]

Ugh.

I play
PIL-3 (Maximum Firepower)
PIL-4 (Maximum Firepower)

For a total of 12.

[Davio]

Maybe as good a time as any to play CA?

The 5-IC is pretty useful and the 4-SP....

Tables: Please wait for my play or pass on CA either way.

[theorel]

Seems like it to me...but I'm not super-familiar with everything.

[Tables]

Okay, waiting on pass/confirmation.

Either way, check passes: No effect, basestar activation will bring space 1 over (all Basestars are already placed) and also max the pursuit track, bringing everything over (Jorbles wasn't to know, but this crisis being a basestar activation means he shot himself in the foot advancing the pursuit track).

[Jorbles]

Is Launch Raider's the same as Basestar Activation? (I thought Launch Nukes was the terminology for Basestar's activating.)

[Tables]

Both are basestar activations as far as the CFB is concerned.I guess I probably should have said Launch Raiders instead of Basestars activating but eh.

I guess I can see the argument - those two cards are quite useful - but the rest of the check is mostly garbage for you. You can't use the Maximum Firepower at all (though Apollo or Boomer certainly can on a reshuffle), except potentially to spike with. (Not an accusation, but an observation, since if you aren't the second cylon, whoever they are contributed to this check.)

[Davio]

I thought it might be useful to have some off color cards.

[Grujah]

Red is rarely positive.

[Grujah]

I think there are better times to use it, too.

[theorel]

Ah, I guess I can see that.  Basically he'd be getting a total of 9 positive skill and a bunch of cards which are useless to him 90% of the time.  So, better to save it for a skill check where he can get in the neighborhood of 16 positive skill.  Since that's reasonably likely to happen at some point.

[Davio]

## Pass on CA (for now)

[Grujah]

I'm pretty sure you forgot to include my launch/escort/move on that map.

[Tables]

Sigh...

Edit: Ah, I must have not saved. Updating image now, will edit into this post.

[Tables]

Edited into the above post instead.

[Grujah]

I assume, good moves are, either:
XO me to handle the space.
Use Communications to handle the space.

Shoot Centurion? (least problematic?)

[Grujah]

I can exort one and "cover" 2 civvies. (on XO).

[Jorbles]

The best move is probably to put a player in the brig. I'll help.

[Grujah]

The best move is probably to put a player in the brig. I'll help.

Sure. Be free to lock yourself in the brig.

[WinterSpartan]

Well, space does need dealt with. This soon after sleeper, I don't like giving XOs - the potential for it to bite us is just so high...

On the other hand, I guess you did just go, so if you reveal we'll have the maximum length of time to deal with the mess. And we lose a civilian otherwise on a raider activation.

Nothing ventured nothing gained. I'll man the guns for later cleanup (those basestars are going to be an issue too, especially without Chief).

##Move: Discard 0-Trust Instincts to move to Weapons Control.
##Action: Play 1-Executive Order on Apollo.

[Grujah]

Escort A and C (and lose CAG) or escort C and cover A and D?

[WinterSpartan]

Why would you lose the CAG title? (Use the second ability on the card, not the first!) Or do you mean you're considering using your CAG once per game (which wouldn't be a bad idea either)?

Actually, I think ideally I'd like to see you do something like this:

Action 1: Use CAG title to move unmanned to sector 4; take another action
Free action: Activate CAG once per game ability to activate unmanned vipers 6 times:
Launch Mk. II in sector 6, move Mk. II to sector 1, escort civ D, escort civ A, fire with Mk. VII at raider, move Mk. VII to sector 3 (regardless of the shot's outcome)
Action 2: Escort civ C

That should clean up space a good bit, leaving us with only one guarded civilian and nothing at immediate risk from raiders (well, there would be one in your space, but I'm sure you could handle it).

[WinterSpartan]

Oh, I figured out what you meant; without using your once per game, you're right, you'd have to give up the CAG title to escort two civs. Definitely don't do that. I'm not sure that there's a much better time for your opg, but if you don't use it (cylon ) you should escort once and cover twice. Nobody else can use the CAG ability right now, and it's quite helpful.
