Description:   
------------
I've tried to make a rough planet with plenty of spiky rock formations and harsh weather. Also, the map
encourages either Defensive or Offensive play by not giving equal bases for everyone. Some places are
great for defense, but scrap is far away (and vise-versa) - giving the offensive players enough scrap to
keep building attackwaves. 
This is my personal opinion: most strategic maps gives equal bases (are mirrored up/down and left/right and 
therefore the offensive player often looses when there is low supply of scrap. So because he can only bring
10 attacking units - the opponents gets all the scrap afterwards and can counterstrike easily - 
Well, just think about it, I hope my concept for this map holds :-)


Story:
--------
FIRST: "Alien", "LV426", "Lt. Ellen Ripley", "Colonial Marine Corp", "Hadley's Hope" and related material is the
intellectual property of "FOX" (20.th C./Video/..etc.) - I'm just an Alien enthusiast trying to promote/show my 
love for their stories/universe about Aliens, so I hope they wont take offense of this since I'm not using it
for any COMMERCIAL use what-so-ever.
 - I've tried to notify them ("FOX") of this small "usage", but so far they have only let me know that my message
has been given through to the proper persons. Since then no reply so I believe it's OK with "FOX". However, if they
do not accept this, I'll remove this map from my own homepage/site and ask everybody else to remove it as well.


...HQ-MESSAGE....
Briefing: 
After Alien-Advisor Lt. Ellen Ripley and the Colonial Marine Corp provoked a nuklear-meltdown in the Athmosphere-
Processing Plant, the Plant exploded lieving a huge crater instead but most of the settlement called "Hadley's Hope"
(HH) were left intakt.
Mission: 
Now 200 years later opposing forces fights to gain control over the planet and all the BioScrap for further
colonization of the Universe. The NSDF and CCA has several individual commanders out to accomplish this - all seeking the
rewards and military promotions of accomplishing this mission - expect heavy resistance, but take control at all cost!
Deployment: 
In a hurry to gain control, NSDF and CCA both deploys their forces at strategic coordinates, but only if unoccupied by
opposing forces. There are four dropzones: 1) Plantcrater, 2) Hadley's Hope, 3) Airfield outside HH and 4) Open Planes
north of Plantcrater.
Intelligence:
Intelligence claims that huge scrap-fields are located N-W and S-E. However, both NSDF and CCA has booby-trapped these
fields while their RECON-units searched the surface.
