Nice job! The Headlamp that let you bury one of the worst Motion Tracker cards in the game was huge. Positioning your marines to effectively use defensive fire was also key especially around those tight corners where movement options were limited. Well played, great pacing, and fantastic commentary!

6:35 That blip goes the wrong way! Maybe he was worried he left home with his stove still on? Great playthrough. Would be cool to see Spartacus as well even though it isn't a natural fit for solo. I have the original edition with the expansion, never gotten it played! At least I can chuckle at the titles on some of the cards. Merry Christmas or God Jul as we say in my native Sweden.

I don't know if you have heard, but a new edition of the game is out. No component changes just some rules clarifications in the new rules. Aliens now only break barriers on a 5 or 6. When blips are revealed they still finish their move and can attack if they are close enough. Their is also a another expansion out with the two pilots and 4 new xenomorph types. It called In The Pipes 5 by 5 I believe.

Dungeons and Dragons has always been a friend and family favorite while actual campaigns take many many sessions and the Dungeon Master usually plans 4 hours for every 1 hour of actual session time. A game like this we can set up and play together rather quickly for comparison. Our normal dm takes control of all the monsters and that spawn adding a house rule. When we play as a group normally it feels like everyone draws monsters that attack themselves almost every time… it seems like an odd balance of self punishment.

From the official F.A.Q.: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WHERE IS THE ACID BLOOD? Q: How is the alien’s acid blood represented? A: Acid blood is factored in the Defense roll, its also one of the reasons that your armour may break when using it to defend. Acid Blood also shows up as a Hive Hazard card in the Get Away From Her You B***h! expansion. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think you might have misinterpreted the second alien tracker card it says if the spot is occupied move the blip four places for the nearest character. I believe you placed it as close as you could to the spawn point and then moved it four spaces
@PaulDarcy
@PaulDarcy 5 күн бұрын
Card reads, " If this Spawn Point already has a Blip or Alien model, move this Blip four spaces towards the nearest Character" I interpret this to mean the Blip about to be placed moves the four spaces. And when placing Blips you place them as close to the spawn point as you can if it's occupied. So, I think I did it right? I'm going to go with it anyhow.

Just started watching these and noticed you're being too hard on yourself with line of sight. The WHITE lines regulate movement but do not block line of sight. Only the BLACK lines block LOS. For example, on turn 1, as soon as Hicks moved one square he had full LOS to almost all of the blips. He didn't have to move 4 spaces to peak around the white corner. All marines could have moved 4 and started firing away at the revealed aliens.
@PaulDarcy
@PaulDarcy 7 күн бұрын
Oh damn! Correct. Now that I look more closely those white lines do not border black "walls" Hmm. Will not affect too much for the first bunch of episodes I think, but I'll need to keep a closer watch on that from now on! Thanks for the catch, and thanks for watching along!
@robertgodfrey7219
@robertgodfrey7219 7 күн бұрын
@@PaulDarcy It's a very common mistake because the walls in the first mission actually do line up with the white lines. Working around door frames and tables while rescuing Newt doesn't really prepare you for the tunnels in mission two. You're right that it won't change much for the first episodes but long term it slows down the marines enough so the aliens overwhelm you before you can make it through that tight corridor.Adding one more turn without drawing motion tracker cards should help to correct the timing.

@@PaulDarcy Also, similar to my post on Episode 1, the white lines do not block line of sight. There is a clear LOS from the door of the APC to Spawn Point 3. This is good for the Marines! You want them to be able to shoot the aliens from far away. I'm afraid the slow start for Hicks and crew is going to be the death of them.
