The second mission was so much fun I want to play it again. After I get the expansions I will be returning to this game. It’s a blast. Thanks hope your next run is less of a fail 😃😃👍
I thought the white lines didn't block line of site only the walls? I think there was a couple of times you could see a blip through the lines. I got this game for my birthday, can't wait to play it
Following with great thrills your next mission ! Quick question: at 14:31, was Hudson supposed to activated another blip, the one on the bottom left ? Thank you so much for your videos, they're just fantastic.
At 1hr 20 min I don't think the alien's move into the APC however, If Ripley was still in that space after the barricade fails she would be adjacent to an alien and would have to immediately roll for defense. I'm under the impression that once an alien stops it's movement either from running out of spaces combat or barricade they do not move again.
You may be right I know this rule was discussed on board game geeks web page. Also I may have been addressed in the official FAQ. Hope that helps and thanks for watching 😃😃👍
I saw in a FAQ that an alien WILL continue its movement if it successfully breaks through a barricade. So even on the turn before this one, it it passed the barricade roll, it would’ve continued its move and moved inside the APC.
@@OneStopCoopShop yea no problem. Who doesn’t miss rules when we’re playing board games. Plus I understand you TH-camrs also have to keep track of making sure you’re entertaining for us on top of remembering rules. Your let’s plays have made me want to get this game so good job 👍
I'm confused, there seems to be two versions of the rulebook. In my version aliens break barricades on 5+ and you draw three motion tracker cards in a two player game. Are there several editions of this game or am I going mad? What version of the rule book is the latest?
First of all, great videos! As I am waiting for the glue on my minis to dry and set I've watching these. I have one question so far regarding the alien's acid blood. This seems to be a big oversight in the design, but you have reference that they added it in an expansion. Which one?
Thank you. The acid is brought in from the Queen alien expansion I think it’s called “get away from her you B.....”. Or something of that nature. I don’t know how it’s implemented though. Hope that helps thanks for watching 😃😃👍
22:17 - I like how in some situations less movement for xenomorhps is actually not tactically beneficial for the player. That's real balance right there. Awesome.
Yes there I time I set my team up and then they don’t move where I want them to. Then when they are exposed they love 6 which is sometimes just to overwhelming to be able to counter. I really enjoy this game. 😃😃👍

@@OneStopCoopShop Thanks! I forgot to mention, your enthusiasm in this video series is incredible! You make each moment seem so epic and I'm certain that when I eventually get my copy, I'll be hearing your voice in my head as I roll dice and shit gets real. Haha keep up the great work. 😊
To make this scenario more thematic and no doubt more difficult, they could have reduced the use of the pulse rifle and smart gun to having no full auto, as was partly the case in the film, and use only the regular guns to fire instead of full auto. Just a thought, great play through as always.
I agree you could even take it a step farther and only allow pistols flame units and smart guns. On grenades and wow would that be a challenge. Hunmmm looks like I have something I have to try this weekend. Thanks for a great comment and as always Bernard for watching 😃😃👍

The aliens will activate and Atari during the alien activation step, and also during the blip movement step. They will not attack during the motion tracker cards even if they move next to a marine. Hope that helps thanks for the great question and thanks for watching 😃😃👍
No at the beginning of each mission you can load out your characters from any cards not in the discard area. The pay to equip is only once the game mission has started. Hope that makes sense. 😃😃👍
I did paint the marines they were fun to paint. I didn’t do anything to the aliens Gale Force was smart to make them black plastic it works perfect. 😃😃👍
Looka fun. Like Warhammer 40k Space Hulk but instead of Space Marine Astartes Terminator armor its a bunch of Imperial Guardsmen with flak jackets fighting superior Genestealers.
I totally can see the similarities. I haven’t played space hulk, but it looks really cool. I was more a Warhammer fantasy person, but the board games can be a blast. Thanks for watching 😃😃👍
I have the old Prodos AvP game and I might just integrate the acid damage rule from there into this game. Now there aren't really hit points in this game but acid damage on a D10 would be a 1-3 could cause it in adjacent spaces causing a KO if you fail the defense roll. In addition, spaced impacted by acid cost double movement points going through them. That would be in a hard mode but 100% plan to do it. It's thematic for sure.
@@OneStopCoopShop I appreciate your alien videos. And I think it's totally cool how you present the rules in an absolutely clear way and in an entertaining way too. Thanks for that.
Known errors
1. forgot to activate Gorman on turn 2 and only one action on turn 3
2. At 23:00 the blips should have been revealed.
Vasquez would have seen the third blip because there was no black wall there.
Kudos to you for really getting the atmosphere into this scenario! I am 1h30m into the video, and it’s getting INTENSE!
Finally I see the second mission that I just played yesterday afternoon... I fail miserable but was a damn chaos I like it.
The second mission was so much fun I want to play it again. After I get the expansions I will be returning to this game. It’s a blast. Thanks hope your next run is less of a fail 😃😃👍
Sounds like I need to watch this movie so I can play this cool looking game.
It is my favorite movie!!! It’s a great syfy adventure thriller!!! 😃😃👍
@@OneStopCoopShop do I need to see alien first? I’m a fan of action and thrillers but not horror.
You don’t need to see Alien first there is a scene where they recap the whole first movie in about 2-3mins in a conference room.
I thought the white lines didn't block line of site only the walls? I think there was a couple of times you could see a blip through the lines. I got this game for my birthday, can't wait to play it
There are some weird LoS rules and I make a few mistakes with them during the video. I hope you enjoy it. Happy birthday a little belated though! 😃😃🎂
@@OneStopCoopShop thanks! 🍰

i didnt think character models could pass through each other?
Shouldnt you be exposing 3 motion tracker cards, not 4 scince youre playing with 2 heros? Love your videos by the way im learning a lot
Thanks glad you enjoyed them. It’s been a while since I have played but that sounds right 4 for 2 players.
At 10:30 shouldn’t Vazquez have revealed 3 tokens since white lines only block movement not line of site?
There is a good chance I missed a few LOS chances but it’s a ton of fun. Thanks for catching that and thanks for watching 😃😃👍

@@OneStopCoopShop perfect harbor freight near me prob has
Nice hope your able to find one. I know army painter also sells one.
at 1:24 would the aliens attack? It's gone past their activation step.
The aliens will activate and Atari during the alien activation step, and also during the blip movement step. They will not attack during the motion tracker cards even if they move next to a marine. Hope that helps thanks for the great question and thanks for watching 😃😃👍
When I equip my team at the beginning do I have to exhaust cards from the deck for the cost of equipping them?
No at the beginning of each mission you can load out your characters from any cards not in the discard area. The pay to equip is only once the game mission has started. Hope that makes sense. 😃😃👍
@@OneStopCoopShop Awesome. Thank you.

Hahahahha!! Yeah I was on MN-426 I guess it was the wrong planet. 😃😃👍

Yeah the cliffhanger is intense. Hope our marines make it out ok. Thanks for watching 😃😃👍

Your so welcome thanks for nice complement and feedback. It’s great to hear. 😃😃👍
So what does the carried away thing mean?
It means you are gone. If I remember right. It like in the movie where the marines are grabbed and brought to the nest. 😃😃👍
At 23:00 the blips are in los, so become aliens
Your right I should have measures that. I’ll make sure make a note in the video
only walls block los
Yes this is true. Thanks
What do you think about APC's walls? Can marines shoot outside?
This is Zombiecide on steroids
Very true! Great comparison. Though I will always pull this off my shelf first but that’s me. 😃😃👍
