	I just read the fourth book in David Gerrold's "War Against the
Chtorr" series, and I think those books provide a nice map of how a
bio-tech invasion would happen. The aliens haven't landed, as far as
we know. They landed creatures that will out-compete the natives.

	That included a virus and a few plagues, but that doesn't mean
there's no gaming potential. The alien biology forms "nests" that
the humans try to wipe out. A combined forces attack on one of the
nests could be... interesting.
