I'm planning to play a skirmish game or two with Copplestone's "Hunter Aliens" as the main attraction – the problem is, which rules would be best to give the right "feel" from the original movie? The main challenge is a playable yet fun hidden movement system… Any suggestions would be welcome. |

Ambush Alley's "Tomorrow's War" – should have everything you will need. |

The RAF Wargames Association ran their Predator participation game at the Hammerhead show at Newark this year. I think they may have their own simple, fun rules. Me & the lad both had a couple of games, first one we "didn't make it to the chopper" mostly because of Blane's muzzle direction (they could have told me it mattered which way the figure was pointing!) and the second one most of us "made it to the chopper", this time I went on overwatch while everyone climbed on board and we actually bagged a couple of of 'ugly m***********s'. link |

Two Hour Wargames' 5150 rules would work well. Make the Predator's "Nonplayer Enemy Forces" and use their paper and pencil AI rules for them, with the players on co-op as the Prey. |

I think Infinity works really well. It has rules for TO camo and is a pretty exciting game with a minimal number of models a side. |

I imagine most any skirmish game can work.
Just gotta set up some rules for finding hidden troops, or have the players guess. Add in a rule for firing into the jungle, to drive away suspected bad guys (and limit the ammo a bit). |

I wrote a 'Predator' scenario in AAG's Classified supplement for Force on Force. |

Thanks for the suggestions so far, everyone! AA Jim, I didn't know that scenario was in Classified. I actually have the Force on Force main book and Tomorrow's War. I may be able to pick up a copy of Classified locally. |

Hi there I have developed a ruleset called the Hunted. More here link Happy to send you a pdf…
you can read one of my players write ups here…
link who stated that… 'and a game based on the film Predator, using his own rules, which was quite the most exciting wargame I have ever played…' |

Infinity. Free rules and they have one of the best hidden-unit rules that I've played. |

Eric, Hunted looks like a blast. Can you please send PDF to dan48 at earthlink dot net? Thanks in advance… |

Ambush Alley Jim,
Would that be "Bungle in the Jungle", the solo scenario? Jeff |
