Nice, I enjoy hearing your opinions about non-wargame games sometimes! One thing I particularly enjoyed: the shots of the game's components as you were talking about the game. Hope you keep doing that, for wargame reviews also. Great stuff!
The APC from Prodos Games was amazing. Resin but the roof also came off to show interior detail. It's the exact size of the APC tile in this game also. Too expensive to buy one 2nd hand now though :(
Love this game. My only wish would have been if they used the white border for the walls and grey border for movement/corridor limits. I think it'd help with how they do line of sight.
You hit when rolling equal or lower than the number on the aim dial and not only when rolling lower. When spawning blips and there are no blips in the pool, move every blip 3 spaces instead.
I’ve been trying to convince my buddy to buy this or Nemesis. Both sound great. He’s big into the movie also. Watched it a ton as a kid. I’d be like Grant spouting lines: “they mostly come out at night…mostly.” Lol
This game is to Nemesis as Risk is to Advanced Squad Leader. Nemesis is a FAR superior game but requires an exponential level of investment to understand the rules and play the game.
Its a fun game. We found some rules a little confusing but after a few missions we've ironed out our mistakes. Going to use some house rules to improve it where needed such as increasing our movement as we can't see how we'd advance far in a bug hunt with 6 characters
I am tempted to buy this one... even if the game isn't to my liking, I could use the minis to play the old Aliens (1989) board game from Leading Edge. heh Love that game.
