It includes a new colour map, new cards to determine the inhabitants of alien lairs, new scenarios for the battle onboard the drop ship, Ripley’s rescue of Newt, an attempted rescue of Apone and Dietrich and a complete hunt for the Alien Queen. The Marines have more options, greater challenges and new rules re. ammunition restrictions, backup weapons and tournament rules.
