An original Space Hulk mission.
This has been specifically written for solo play, since I'm in lockdown. I'd appreciate any feedback/criticism.

Zero Hour.
How long can you hold out ?
1 squad of 5 marines.
1 marine per marked room, they may start on any square in the room, with any facing.
Marines go first.

1 entry point opens each turn until they are all open.
Start with 1 blip per turn, but increase this as entry points open.
1-3 entry points open 1 blip per turn. 4-5 entry points, 2 blips per turn. 6-7 entry points, 3 blips per turn and so on. 1 blip must enter through the newly opened entry area per turn.
1st entry point to open must be an A, then on the 2nd turn the other A, 3rd turn a 'B', 4th turn the other 'B' and so on.
You can open the 'B' points first instead of 'A' if you want, but you must open the 'A' points before opening any of the 'C' points.
I'm currently running this with 1 Sergeant with stormbolter and powersword, 1 marine with stormbolter and chainfist and 3 marines with stormbolter and powerfist.
Feel free to try different marines.

If they do a new edition of SH I'll be giving this a go. Good work.

Do you play this with 'AI' rules for Genestealers, or just switch hats as you control each side?

I just switch hats, but if you have a preferred set of solo rules, use them.
I've played it with 1st edition rules and 3rd/4th ed. It's a lot tougher with the original 1st edition overwatch rules.
