Subject: [SGII] Aliens and Predators in SGII
Hi everyone! After playing "Aliens Versus Predator" until our eyeballs burst, my friend and I decided we would like to play a game of an Aliens/Marines/Predator style of game with StargruntII. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what to do about the Aliens and the Predator in SGII? Any ideas on Psychology and such? Anyone got any actual rules available somewhere?

Anyone know how to reach Stuart Murray? He's run 2 fun Aliens SG2 games at GZG ECCs.

BTW, Jon Davis and I were talking about a predator game just this past weekend. We didn't get very far in our discussion as we were only talking during a break from another game. However, we did discuss the predators using the SGII sniper rules. I was thinking about running a scenario with a number of predators stalking an equal number of Vietnam-era squads.

Funny, whenever something distinctly individual like a Predator or Alien comes to mind, I'm tempted to use a smaller scale skirmish game like Rules With No Name, ShockForce, or Necromunda. That said, SG2 really has better rules for stealth vs. observation and morale than those games.

The Predator really requires some playtesting. Too weak and they get spotted and blown apart by gauss rifles and PIGs. Too strong and they wipe out the competition. In any event, a game with them would require a GM to run the covert movement. > Michael Sarno wrote:
