I was going to do something like that.	They have these fins in the
back,
so I could drop a ring over that.  Alternatively, I could cover the dead
guys with cotton for a much more dramatic effect.

This comes under the category of "Things that I hadn't thought of",
actually....

Option one is to make them all confrom to the movement restrictions on
the
damaged ship.  Justify it as "Company Policy", be aware that it will
give
the attackers an advantage, and see what happens.

Alternatively, I can paint up one guy on his own base, and place him out
on
the board when someone gets crippled.  This is probably the better idea
of
the two, in retrospect.

Now I just have to figure out exactly what to do with 8 of those alien
ships from the beginning of Alien, which I also purchased yesterday....
Fortunately, the Illuminati is a versatile bunch.
