Regulars to this and other boards may recall sometime ago that a small, independent development team in Sweden (?) had developed a turn-based game very similar in look-and-feel to a certain Games-Workshop-title-that-involves-chasing-aliens-through-the-hulk-of-a-space-craft (TM). At the time, GW issued a "cease and desist" order and demanded that the program be modifed to respect copyrights and trademarks.
Well, I just re-visited that site and found that a new version of the program - retitled Alien Assault - is available for download. I am so far enjoying this new version as it makes from some quick but satisfying play. Looks like this new version has an editor, but I haven't checked it out, yet.
Available here: www.teardown.se (http://www.teardown.se)

Looks interesting. Also made me think of the old 'Laser Squad' game.
OOooo! I see a pre-production section for Alien Assault 2.
I didn't know they were gonna make a fresh one. :D
There are also a ton of mods available to quickly turn it back in to Space Hulk.
FWIW...I am finding new version very difficult. Even some the tutorial missions are hard to complete.
