The miniatures are unfinished, but I fancy playing this today :)

A thread, maybe?

Finally all set up! Let’s rock, etc...

Today’s squad: Ripley, Hudson as heroes.
Hicks, Drake, Frost and Gorman as grunts...

#aliens #boardgames

Ending turn 1:
Gorman barricades a door with an Arc Welder.
Ripley and (unfinished) Hicks go in search of newt.
Hudson ready to provide tech backup.
Drake set up to take on blips.

#aliens #boardgames

End of turn 2: Ripley barricades a spawn point, but the blips tear down a barricades door /o\

#aliens #boardgames

Ripley found Newt \o/

#aliens #boardgames

End of turn 3: the barricades didn’t hold /o\

Got two ‘false alarms’ on the motion tracker but the other 2 cards?

Here they come...

#aliens #boardgames

Frost kills 4 aliens with his flamethrower after Gorman only bags one at the spawn point (you always were an asshole Gorman etc)
Hudson and Drake use defensive fire to stay unharmed.
Some barricades hold, some don’t - everything’s manageable right now...

Turn 5 I think - end of Hudson’s activation reveals Blinding Rage - my first hazard - I’m playing it safe and letting Ripley tell him to ‘just deal with it’ to get rid of it :D
Brilliant! :)

#aliens #boardgames

Ripley picks up ‘losing hope’ which might’ve tough!
Some barricade hold, but spawn points 3 and 4 are letting aliens in - oh no /o\

#aliens #boardgames

Gorman just rolled 10 on defensive fire - he’s dead, Jim :o

#aliens #boardgames

Now Frost is knocked down /o\
It’s all gone a bit Pete Tong!

#aliens #boardgames

I have a bad feeling about this...

#aliens #boardgames

Bad feeling confirmed!

We are LEAVING!

#aliens #boardgames

Drake, Ripley and Newt have escaped.

I hope Hicks Hudson and Frost will be ok..

#aliens #boardgames

Uh-oh...

#aliens #boardgames

Woot! All aliens killed by defensive fire!

Maybe we’ve got them demoralised?

I should be ok to get out as long as nothing spawns near me...

#aliens #boardgames

Oh dear...

#aliens #boardgames

Frost is knocked down /o\

#aliens #boardgames

Time for Hudson to use some grenades...

#whatcouldpossiblygowrong #aliens #boardgames

Hicks and Hudson take out the aliens and then flee - Frost is on his own, so close...
But then he fails a defence roll and is knocked down :(
KIA

#aliens #boardgames

Ok - time to pack all this away! Had fun, looking forward to seeing what you thought of it all :)

Got Newt out in the end but lost Frost and Gorman in the process...

Need to finish painting these before I get another game in - thanks for reading along :)
