- Well played. I knew that was going to end quickly and painfully, but I didn't realise how quickly. What do you think about this mission? Am I just useless??

- I've just checked out the stats for this mission. I think that makes it 4 wins for the Nostromo Crew and 4 wins for the Alien. :)

- I think it's just one of those missions which always ends up being a disaster for someone. You won the last game we played I seem to recall, so I was determined to you back this time. :)

- Enough said! :) I think this mission just reminds me of the "Vortex" bit of the old TV prog The Adventure Game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventure_Game it's a bit obscure, dunno if you remember it), in that since neither of us know where the opposition is, and as soon as we meet a unit dies, there seems to be a lot of luck required (on both sides). Having said that, it's not necessarily a bad thing. I think I'm just struggling to think of any new tactics for this mission for the humans.

- I didn't know what you were talking about until I saw the picture on the wiki link, I'd forgotten all about that program! :)
Yeah it's a good comparison, I agree, the outcome of this mission is decided very early on, and there's not a great variety of tactics to choose from. Still, I think it's a nice, quick, simple fun novelty mission as it stands. I suppose the layout of the map could be tweaked if we feel the need to change it, but personally I'm happy enough to leave it as it is for now. Posted by
