Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps- Overview and Run Through

Alright sweethearts, fall in! I'm playing Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps. This is the 2nd print release core box. We're on LV426 and things are getting dicey.

Pop on Klingon subtitles for updates!

BGG Score: 7.4/10

Pros:
- nice miniatures, despite assembly
- interesting Endurance card management
- tense game play with Blips approaching with unknown number of aliens
- Aim Dial adds an interesting but thematic challenge to rapid firing
- Alien spawn tokens help keep the board relatively uncluttered
- oozes with Aliens theme
- customization of each character (weapons load out etc)
- interesting campaign structure with optional supply and rescue missions
- straight forward game play and game phases

Cons:
- assembling miniatures... on sprues...with glue...
- core box doesn't include missions for full Aliens campaign, requires expansion which is disappointing
- solo controlling 6 characters each with weapon/equipment load outs is cumbersome to manage and can slow down the game play
- debatable replay value


Personal Verdict:
Happy with it for its theme/IP despite requiring to manage 6 characters regardless of player count and some assembly required...
