Do Predator (the Arnie movie) rules exist? I've searched the boards here and see a reference to some sort of Two Hour Wargames product, but I am not familiar with 5150 or Chain something. So, I am looking for a set of rules to recreate the first movie. The criteria: Not looking for AVP stuff Weapons need to have historical differences included
all weapons are not the same. The Predator should have qualities/skills/characteristics that reflect its unique capabilities (shoulder mounted plasma cannon, nasty hand to hand combat, etc.) Has a unique way to handle the chameleon effect of the Predator Be relatively simple to play Anything like this out there? |

Well Chain Reaction is free if you're interested. link |

There is always 'Get to the Chopper', a free PnP game. More board/hex oriented, but you can probably crib some good ideas from it. link |

Just tried to download Chain Reaction twice
the link I receive in the email, to use to download, goes to an order status page that has no link to download the rules (and no place to enter my email I used to "order" them). :( Hamilton – thanks for the tip! |

Downloaded all the stuff for "Get to the Chopper"
there are some ideas in there that may be useful indeed. However, they really have a lot of the characters' weapons messed up! :) |

Buckeye – When you get to the last page it will ask for your email. When you enter it the instant link appears inside your order in the upper right hand corner. Easy to miss the first time. |

I got to the last page, no email place was there. |
Ed the Two Hour Wargames guy | 31 Mar 2014 1:04 p.m. PST |
It's at the middle of the Payment page. If it's easier just email me at twohourwargames@yahoo.com and I'll send it to you. |

Reminds me, and others, we still need an Anna figure in 15mm. |

About 10-12 years ago, one of the wargaming mags did up some rules for this. Can't remember if it was Wargames Illustrated or what but it seemed cool from my brief read through. Maybe somebody on here recalls the exact mag/issue or maybe even where you can find it. |

Well, really any ciFi rules for skirmish will work, you just need to write up teh stats for the beastie

I think you could go far with Infinity. It has rules for models with Thermo-optic camoflage as well as a variety of weapons and can be played, and enjoyed, with one model taking on four or five others. |

Ed, I had a similar problem with swordplay the other day. I got a message saying failure to recognise payment type. Perhaps there is a problem. I think I followed the instructions correctly |

Ed – Email sent. Tried looking at the pages again, there simply is no spot to enter the email used. Thanks! Giving Infinity a look over
had never heard of them, but then again most of my focus is within the historical realm. |

I was looking at the board and pieces to the "Get To The Chopper" game. It reminded me of the "Platoon" game from Avalon Hill. May be able to adapt some of the terrain, weapons , etc. from there. |

I also recall seeing "Predator" character cards for Chain Reaction in the Files section of the Two Hours Wargames Yahoo Group. They are under Fan/Player submitted items. |
