X-Com

Under Construction - Currently compiling detailed information from the original game. I will be simplifying it and making it playable with standard Battlestations rules and components with not many additions.

Distribution of Ranks
What numbers of aliens appear on ships and bases.

Base Modules

Use standard Battlestations modules to represent base modules. Unless otherwise stated, modules cannot be repaired if damaged until after the base invasion has been completed. If all modules that can be slagged, have been slagged - the base is destroyed. Bases are always underground. There are only two ways into or out of a base - the Access Lift, which is the first module and compulsory for every base, and any Hanger module the base may contain.
