Thanks, I really dig those Mutons. Next in the line are the Snakemen but I got distracted by Gaslands, LOL!

Terror missions always were the most intense of tactical games!

Especially because of the one or two ever present not-xenomorphs changing civilians (and soldiers!) into zombies, when you wanted to clear the level without casualties, because the attacked city was in a region that was thinking of cutting off funding or even changing sides.

One of my favourite moments was blowing up a gas station where several Mutons were hiding; much smoke and destruction, and a lot of dead aliens. Best part; no civvies were hurt by the blast, and that was just the first (rocket)shot fired during the mission... :D

Work PC is preventing me from checking out your blog right now ('Forbidden Category: Games' ::) ), but from the pictures you posted here, I'd say you once again captured the look and feel of the old PC game perfectly.

Awesome looking game again! 8)
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

I have rules for zombies but they didn't get the chance to show up. Yes I always loved blowing up things with launchers ;-)

Cheers guys! It's the only good thing of being unemployed at the moment. I get plenty of time for projects. I hope to paint some Snakemen next week.
