Basically used the Broad game for Alien deployment.
Marine Stats:
Apone, Hicks, Vasquez Veteran
Drake, Deitrich, Hudson Regular
Wirbowski, Frost, Crowe Green
Apone, Dietrich Flamer (range bands as Shotgun)
Hicks Shotgun
Vasquez, Drake MG
All others Pistols
All in Partial Armor (D6) move 6" (though all of the board is
considered rou
gh
to the marines)
Aliens
D8 Armor move 6" (not rough terrain, they are FAST!)
Attack Close Combat Only 2D10 (tried D10 x 2, TOO deadly)
Acid Blood If an alien is killed by anything other than a Flamer, All
marines
in proximity (adjacent) must succeed a Quality roll to avoid being
wounded.
Otherwise play it by ear.

Subject: [DSII] Anyone SST bug stats for Tankers and Plasmas?
(whoops, a
nd
Aliens FMA)
I'm getting a fair number of micromachine sets, and while I have plenty
of
uses for the warriors and hoppers in various schemes, I'll be having a
surfeit of other things in the packs, such as drop and retrieval ships.
However, my main wondering was if anyone had worked up the tanker bugs,
perhaps a tad large in DSII scale, and the plasma launchers, maybe even
a
tad small.
I think the tankers, while mollasses slow, would be doing 'pop up'
attacks
out of the ground with mean weapon stats, while the plasma bugs would
tend
to be objectives, with some defensive fire possible, but I'd like to
know
if anyone has done any of this yet.
I'm hoping to get an action fleet brain bug to run with the mm 3-pack
chariot bugs, but haven't a clue how I'd use it in gaming. ;->=
Maybe an SST version of the Alien's GET BURKE scenerio?
Buggers, that reminds me: I'd also like a brief description of the
Aliens
boardgame run 3-D under FMA. I love running the boardgame 3-D with
regular
rules, and am very intrigued by the variant!
