Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has incorporated a Predator in their game and come up with suitable stats and a card for them.
Any help apreciated.

Jeff

P.s Downloaded some rules from Boardgame Geek.com

I think something like the AvP CCG where the predaor has 3 markers on the board, only one of which is the actual predator. Maybe introduce some spotting rules similar to shooting to-hit roll, based on distance and cover. Certain equipment (infared) can improve the roll. If spotted the marker is flipped to show if it is the pred or a dummy.

Maybe give the pred several hits before it actually goes down.

Then just need to write up the to-hit numbers for the preds weapons. Maybe limit the number of shots with each?

Are you using just the maps from the game, or new maps, or tabletop?

Hi,
I will be using the maps from the game but may expand into some custom maps in the future.
As regards Predator weapons, i was thinking of just the shoulder mounted plasma caster, the throwing disk for ranged weapons and wrist blades and spear for hand to hand. Will have read rules as regards h-t-h combat.
