This is a copy of "The General" magazine article by Stuart K. Tucker (May 1995) which provides a nice set of variant rules including Hasty Shots, penalties when Carrying Marines, changes to Grenade Effects, weapon reload costs, movement sequence and thematic improvements to the scenarios (The General magazines are now in the public domain).

Finished the hive encrusted tiles of the colony now. Warning - there's some blood and bodies in here! And whole lot of horrible xenomorph goo...

My first attempt at a expandable board for the game. Have put numbers on to allow for alien drops, and maybe we could work some rules around it. Now just need to look at how I can make convincing hive encrustation to make some hive tiles... Let me know what you think...

This is a great game, but even in the original rules some rules were not described properly (or at all). For instance there were many grey areas on carrying Incapacitated Marines, the Movie Scenario that was laid out by Leading Edge was also weak. And while the ammo restriction rule was a good idea the constant paperwork was a pain and it never really came into play unless you had a bunch of foolish Marines just standing around firing at everything possible (if Marines are doing this they will probably die anyway, so what's the point of keeping track of their ammo). My rules 2.0 version is titled THIS TIME IT'S WAR, these rules simply take all the original rules (and some optional rules) and bring them together in a simple precise concise order. Also a VERY detailed movie scenario crafted by me has been put together. I have also included a BRAND NEW scenario, the MED LAB. Time to kill some Facehuggers, if you can! I have played this game for about a decade, figuring out what worked and what didn't. Way to much time has been spent by me creating what you are about to read, I hope you enjoy it. Please email me with any questions or just to give me some feedback, I hope you enjoy!
