STATS FOR em4miniatures ALIENS
in Combat Zone

Group 3 ­ Aliens Aliens are another type of Group 3 individuals. They do NOT have the same skills/bonuses as Heroes but do share some of the same characteristics. Aliens always operate in single figure groups. Armour is included as part of the figure's toughness, because the armour is an integral parts of the alien such as it's carapace or a bio-armour. Some Aliens have exceptional strength, which enables to tear down doors with ease (see rules below). Not all aliens are able to breathe an earth type atmosphere and must wear a suitable breathing apparatus at all times. Some Aliens cannot use weapons but their ability in hand-to-hand is awesome.

Smash Doors: Aliens with this ability are exceptionally strong. All doors in use in a game need to be rated as normal, strong or impregnable. Action point cost to Smash Door is 3 for a normal door and 6 for a strong door. Impregnable doors can't be smashed (that's why they're impregnable!) Attacks Per Round: Some Aliens cannot use weapons but their ability in hand-to-hand is awesome. Check the Close Combat line of the Stats chart. This gives the number of attacks per round for each Alien. Multiple attacks are carried out at full strength (unlike normal figures using two weapons where the second weapon bonus is reduced). Cost of close combat is still only 1 Action Point per round even if more than one attack is made. Attacks can be concentrated on one enemy or split amongst several enemies. Attack Modifiers: Even if an Alien doesn't have any weapons, it may have natural advantages like claws, teeth or exceptional strength. This is reflected in the Attack Modifiers.
