That was a great AAR! You created an awesome set of rules for playing the Xenomorphs! Looking forward to more adventures of the Pink Pixies

Well, I really didn't create much for the Xenomorphs - They are basically the rules for bugs in Citizen Soldier, with a few tweaks from the old 5150 Book One & the two attributes from Grimdark Future. I really liked the idea that pheromones would immediately give PEFs & Xeno units a free move toward the nymph's location.
It was fun to play. I just knew that if I didn't leave the table before that last unit of Xenomorphs hit, it would have been a total party kill.
On a side note, the Xenomorphs were also fun and easy to paint.

Tough one! But a good write up.
Maybe cut back on the number of Xenos per group?
Or bring better flashlights. That 12" line of sight and their 12" move are a bad combo.

Believe it or not, in the first edition of Star Army, bugs could be in groups of 12!

Maybe roll 1/2d6
1 = One less than group.
2 = Same as group.
3 = One more than group.
Add 1 if Warrior Bugs.

Believe it or not, in the first edition of Star Army, bugs could be in groups of 12! Those were based on Star Army Bugs. |

I had the good fortune to go to the Alien War experience in London, so I've had a close encounter with a xenomorph or two!
To replicate Aliens they should be 'fragile', because they go down pretty quickly from caseless 10mm ammunition. So anything which increases the ease of hitting them would help.
