--- Features ---
Currently the game is only for two players. There is nothing that would prevent the players to choose the same race, it is just silly...:) 

Terminators:
1. They start with a preset number and equipment. To change the starting squad you have to manually change the file \Mod_spacehulk\data\scar\TermiSquad.scar
2. Their planted bioscanner shows them the general whereabouts of the Genestealers, but not their numbers.
3. Their shooting weapons (ie. Stormbolter, Assaultcannon) is sensible to Jams. This means that sometime their weapon jams, so they are not able to shoot until it unjams...

Genestealers:
1. Genestealers arrive to the game area through Burrow Holes. This is simulated with a building called Burrow Hole, which can call Genestelears in gruops of 1, 2 or 3.
2. All of these Burrow Holes are connected to each other, as if there was a complex tunnel system.
3. The Holes can be built by any Genestealer on occupied SPs.
4. Every minute the Genestealers receive 3 available genestealers as long as thier starting building (called the Hivemind Glan) is not destroyed.

Known Issues & Problems
-----------------------
The distributed version does not work with AI. It starts, but the AI doesn't do anything. There is a file called spacehulk.scarsp in \Mod_spacehulk\Data\scar. If you replace spacehulk.scar with this, the Genestealers will act in Skirmish (however rather dumb). Even this won't make the Terminators work in Sp. If you want to return to the original, replace the spacehulk.scar with spacehulk.scarmp.
The jam rule is a workaround. It will set the terminators' stance to Ceasefire/Assault. It will reset the stance to Hold/Versatile at Unjam.
The weapons only jam if the termies are shooting at Genestealers, they won't if they are shooting buildings. Also the engine cannot decide if a unit is shooting, so it is possible that the weapon jams even if the termi is in melee... Sorry.
