RE: [OT] Alien Figures

Interesting.

I do have a question about your suppression rules for 
the aliens. It appears as if they can never be 
pinned by suppression.

Selected sections:
 "Bugs have less of a tendency to take cover; they will 
more than likely charge the offending enemy rather than 
hide from them. Therefore suppression will less likely 
affect them. For that reason bugs will ignore the first 
suppression marker placed on their unit in any one turn. 
Also bugs may have a maximum of 2 suppression on each 
unit, not 3 like humans."
 "Each time a bug squad activates automatically remove 1 
suppression marker before their actions are used."
 "These rules reflect that it takes a lot of fire to stop 
an advance of bugs, they need to be wounded or destroyed 
to stop them! (Effectively it takes 3 suppression 
effects to stop a bug unit for a turn due to 
suppression)"
 
So, if I read it correctly...
The 1st suppression is ignored (no counter placed).
The aliens are hit by suppresion twice more placing 2
suppression markers. The aliens recieve a 4th suppression
result, but no marker is placed (as 2 is the max). On
the next round the aliens automatically remove the 1st
suppression then use thier 1st action to remove the 2nd.
They now have a minimum of 1 action left.

Did I get this wrong?

Yes.  My friends and I are very big Aliens and Predator fans and we did
up 
some rules for using them in our Stargrunt games.  I've posted the stuff
on 
my website for those of you that might like to drop in and have a look.
