Grimdark Future: Firefight – Alien Hives v1.

Background About OPR

Throughout the galaxy vast armies of non-sentient alien
species seek to devour everything in their path. Alien Hives
usually consist of multiple types of evolutionarily advanced
species working together in symbiosis, with common forms
including insectoid and reptilian species.
It is unclear where the majority of these Alien Hives originate
from and what their numbers are. Some even speculate that
they might actually be bio-engineered races created by
another advanced civilization sent to soften up the Sirius
sector before the main battle force arrives.
These fleets pose a serious threat to all biological species of
the galaxy, but if they bleed we can kill them.
OPR (onepagerules) is the home of many free games which
are designed to be fast to learn and easy to play. This project
was made by gamers for games and it can only exist thanks to
the generous support of our awesome community!

Strategy If you want to give us your feedback or have any questions

feel free to contact us:
Alien Hives have a high variety of unit types and as such can
be played in many different ways. Some of the most common  Forum: onepagerules.proboards.com
strategies are large swarms of basic infantry units or a focus  E-Mail: onepageanon@gmail.com
on large creatures and monsters.
Thank you for playing and happy wargaming!
When using swarms of basic infantry make sure to have them
rush the enemy quickly and to keep them in cover as much as Gaetano Ferrara (onepageanon)
possible. By getting into melee as soon as possible you will be
able to overcome their lack of serious firepower.

When using large creatures and monsters make sure to use

your ranged weapons to their full effect by prioritizing the
right targets. Most of your units are highly specialized and will
excel at taking down specific types of enemy units.

Alien Hives are perfect for those that want an army that can
be customized to fit their own playstyle.
