Sam looked over and saw her Smart Gunner was onto something. "Good eyes Dwight! You keep dat Smartgun aimed at de armored suit dat looks like no'ting is wrong with it, I'll keep a sharp aim on dis one"; she said as she shifted aimed to the possible damaged 'suit'...

Re: Turn 4 - What Is The Enemy Of My Enemy - Squad 1,2 - Freight Terminal
SGT Sam Hall saw the APC burst thru the wall, took a knee behind some cover while calling out; "Get down and take cover!" to her squad mates and then watched in bewilderment as the two 'suits' opened up on the terrified Chinese Mercs. "What in de fu#$", she asked no one in particular as the spectacl...

Re: Turn 3 New Arrivals - Squad 1,2 - Freight Terminal
Sam heard Morse's order and acknowledged it; "You got it Morse", she replied, then turned to her people, directed them to get some cover and set up a good position to provide covering fire for Morse's squad if needed. She did her best to focus on the roof and from any unexpected directions these mer...

Re: Turn 2: First Assembly at 0800
Samantha Hall had done her best to chat with each of her new squad mates, happy she still had reliable Dmitri as one of her squad and making sure to let him know she'd be counting on him as her strong right hand. When the mission was given to them, her brain wrestled with something that bothered her...

Re: Turn 1: Freezing Floors
Samantha Hall woke up and immediately let out a huge yawn and stretched. She blinked her big brown eyes a few times and delicately put her feet down on the freezing cold floor, muttering a few curses at that and then letting out a sigh as the android Knight came by to ask silly questions.... "I'm Se...

Re: Armorer's List
Me too.....it's just that the way the Colonial Marine Handbook breaks it down....it just never really works that way in the movie.....by the Handbook, Apone is the overall Field Leader, but each squad would have its own leader (like Hicks leads his 3 man team of him, Frost and Drake when they find N...

Re: Character skills
Honestly, I've gotten so used to the Leading Edge version we've been playing on this site for years that I'd prefer to stick to it......but whatever the herd rolls with is cool with me.

Re: Armorer's List
Oh gotcha, I never meant to imply anything, sorry if that came across wrong.....I just thought I'd throw out some stuff from the Leading Edge RPG book.... That's interesting to know that the Smartgun name came from the movie armorer.....I knew all about the Pulse Rifle being made from a Thompson and...

Re: Armorer's List
For what it's worth, the Leading Edge RPG had ammo of 14 for the "Pistol" (only 1 choice.....the picture they use is the VP 70), 96 for the Pulse Rifle, 192 for the Machinegun (the Smartgun...it is interesting to note that NOWHERE in the shooting script or in the movie, even the extended version, do...

Re: U.S.S. Chimera
That's a pretty cool looking ship....reminds me a bit of the ships used in the short-lived 90s sci-fi show "Space: Above and Beyond" which I always liked.

Re: Character skills
Having bought a rare version of the Leading Edge Aliens RPG, I can attest to how tricky the detailed skill system and WAY MORE COMPLEX firing/hitting/location/ damage system it uses is.....so switching to something else I can certainly get down with.... One thing I'd like to avoid though is switchin...

Re: Turn 19: The Last Stand
Samantha had nightmarish visions of seeing poor people injected with the eggs of the spider/crab/alien THINGS and for a moment, she froze.... Then seeing Morse gasping for air as several other Marines yanked it away from him and Henniger called out that he was ready to blast it, she spun around and ...

Re: Turn 17: The Hangar
Samantha saw the little xenomorphs and suppressed bad memories as she brought up her Pulse Rifle and yelled out the location of the monsters as she aimed, fired a quick burst and repeated the process two more times, putting rounds down range at each creature.... <Tag everyone in hearing range> <6 ac...
