The Colonial Marine Platoon lands on Acheron near the planetary atmospheric plant.
Alien presence is immediately anticipated. Planetary scans have detected a large hive complex well established inside the confines of the facility.
The platton APC rolls through the front gate from the landing pad flanked on either side by squad 2 and 3. HUD contact is maintained with the commander on a sustain roll. Alien xenomorphs are contacted visually and on bio scans of the facility.
As the entrance is breached by the APC. The hive comes alive. Wave attacks of warrior class xenos pour from the facility.
Squad two is contacted first. Pulse rifles and smart guns mow down the fast attackers. Shoot, Scuffle and Save rolls are used in the GASLIGHT moderated combat.
The second squad is overrun and takes heavy casualties. Amazingly they make their moral roll with only 4 members left. They fire on but to little effect.
Scenario is currently at this stage. APC overrun and taking acid hits. 2nd squad ineffective. Let's pull back and nuke this place from orbit.
It's the only way to be sure.
Looks great! Glad to see you using GASLIGHT for Sci-Fi. With a few tweaks it works really well.
