again, stats are on pg35 per previous response :)

I have a similar problem, I am going to put a piece of tape where the base goes.
Sliding the door into the base from the side helps a little.

Page 54 has the marine force list creation rules... It lists the points for the hero / officer. Page 35 has their stats.

the stats have changed a lot with v2.0, you'll definitely want to update you existing cards with the new values.

yeah the new tail attack makes the aliens a lot deadlier once they start ganging up in a tile with their enemies

technically +1 to opponents armour right? every point below str10 is a bonus to armour

yeah I went through all mine and updated with stickers.
I like the new format for weapon strengths, makes more sense. Ballistic weapons have a set STR, weapons give a modifier to base STR of creature. So Combat knife is still an effective STR9 for marines even though listed as +0 STR

Yeah if the intent was to just have a way for the marines to do 2 damage to a critter then they probably should have called it something different... like an AP (Armour Piercing) round rather than a grenade attack, especially as there is a grenade card for the marines too.

I believe there was a free - table version of these rules in the works... my bad memory thinks it may have even started that way but got converted to squares to make it fall into a 'board game' category. There is also mention in the rules for a larger 'war' scale version of the game.
