Review - Aliens: Get Away From Her, You B***h! game tiles for Aliens (GF9) from Gale Force Nine
There are 4 double-sided tiles in the Aliens: Get Away From Her, You B***h! set.
The tiles will probably stay flat if you store them properly.
The artwork is nice, showing places from the Aliens movie. The boards depict the Queen's Lair in the Atmospheric Processor, the Landing Platform on the Atmospheric Processor, and the interiors of USS Sulaco.
The Queen's Lair looks like the Alien hive, with some eggs and the probably the ovipostor of the Queen. The board has the entrances of the two elevators.
The Landing Platform looks like the landing platform, with the Dropship approaching. The board has the entrances of the two elevators. The platform is basically a large open space.
The USS Sulaco interior looks like the interior of a spaceship. It shows the Dropship, and several crates.
Possible uses
Beyond games of Aliens, you can use these for any grid-based tactical wargames or board games,
Or maybe even zone-based, like Deadzone. Deadzone is scaled for 7,5x7,5 cm zones, that would make 3x3 grids on the Aliens map one Deadzone zone. However, I'd recommend using 5x5 grids as one zone, as that will be easier to hande on the 10x10 boards. For Zombicide, I'd say that every room is one zone, and I'd cut the corridors into two 5 grid long zones, and the large open spaces into 5x5 zones.
I'm not sure how modular these boards will be, they look like they are designed to be used to depict only one place.
Possible improvements
Adding the dropship as a separate cardboard sheet might have allowed more use of it. That way the missions could be more easier to customise.
