• Just wanted to make sure you know that the way the mission works, if we run out of time and any of my guys are still alive, I win. Still plenty of time left, but I just wanted to make sure you knew that.

• Yes, I know about it. But now you have a very good position, so if I will go ahead I will lose anyway. I have a some idea, which can give me a little chance to have possibility to win.
  But it's no reason make a losing move intentionally :) Why did you give me Private Smale? ) It wasn't even exchange of units. I didn't understand why did you throw death grenade.

• In error. I've never used a Death grenade before and thought I could trigger it by throwing it.

• I see. "Death grenade will only explode when the unit carrying it dies."

• Let me know if you want a re-match or wish to switch sides.

• This is my unfavourite mission :) Alien doesn't have variants of weapons so it makes a little choice of tactics.
  If you want, we can play "Moonbase Assault", "A Tale of Two Bases" or "The Assassins". I don't know other missions, I wait maps of new for me missions.

• I think that was the first time I won a Aliens game, but I think it was because I finally figured out a strategy that improved my chances.
  I haven't played The Assassins yet, so lets give that a try. Do you have a preference on which side you'd like to be?

• Your tactic was really good. I was surprised in 1st (or 2nd) turn. 1st turns were determinative, because after that you take a strong position. My chance was only if your cartridges in your guns finish.
  Ok, let's try The Assassins. I prefer defenders (Sterner Regnix side), but The Laser Squad side is ok too. Up to you.

• The "get knowman to have his guys shoot all of their ammo" almost worked too. It took me a couple of turns to realize that the long-distance shooting was completely ineffective, and then I just spent enough APs for each guy so they wouldn't waste ammo.
  I'll give the attacking side a try, look for the game waiting for you.

• Nice :) I tracked movement of your units and it seemed that they don't spend APs. I thought some your guys don't have ammo :)
  So, I had no chances to win. Grats, clear victory :)
