Prawns versus Xenos...

This would be a better fight if there was no prep for the prawns I think, but thats just my opinion

You're joking right? It's kind of been the natural way of history that when something or someone gets backed into a corner they are at their most dangerous. In this case the Prawns know of the Xenomorphs coming for them. Thus backing them in a corner. And just because they were pretty much treated like refugees with no rights, does not mean that they can't band together as a race and pump out a military strategy. All countries have them, and in this case i'm sure their planet did as well.

1.Xenomorph rape.
2.Prawn rape.

Xenos pwn due to sheer animosity and feral nature, IMO.

Not in the second scenario. Prawn tech shits on Colonial Marines weaponry.

It doesn't matter. They know they're coming. That's more than enough of information to stage a defense strategy.

Yeah, they know they're coming, but they have no idea of the Xenos tendencies. Also, the Prawns weren't exactly disciplined.

While I agree that the Xenomorphs have better natural abilities and weapons, the Prawns get prep. Which is kind of a big thing. Especially since most likely the battle will be during the day, since the D9 was mostly day. Which helps them even more. They can also set up in tons of positions military strategy wise. I.E. Snipers, flanks, ect ect. Because of their alien weaponry that has unlimited ammo if I remember or at least I don't remember them ever running out of it anyway they're going to be way to much for the Xenomorphs.

That's not to say that a lot of the Prawns won't die because they will.

I was referring to her no weapons statement. One armed D-9 Alien is more than a match for one Xenomorph in this setting.

Ahh nevermind then.

If a Xeno gets in close on the Prawns, I find it highly unlikely the Prawns will stand their ground, hold the line, whatever you call it. When they fail, the Xenos will likely swarm.

Yes. Because instead of pulling a trigger, they would run away not knowing hot to pull said trigger. You're forgetting you said it's a million vs a million. The Prawns could be positioned in so many places while they Xenomorphs charge them.

The Prawns would be best off using the guns that produced the concussive wave. If they use the arc guns or the gun that Chris used, there's gonna be a shitload of acid flying around.

You're still not seeing the big picture. Whilest I agree that there will be acid flying around. if the Xenomorphs are coming in waves charging at the prawns. That means they're are closing in at a distance. Which also means said acid when they get shot from said distance is going to spray on said other Xenomorphs.

See, that's the thing. Someone stated earlier that the Xenos aren't mindless killing machines, that they would see that they need to form a new strategy. And the Xenos aren;t affected by the acid blood, are they?

I'm pretty sure they are. That's like saying if that's the case then the Prawns aren't either considering it's never hit a Prawn before.

Man the Prawn is so superior tech to any kind of hand-held firepower that the Colonial Marines posess that I don't see how this doesn't go to the Prawns. I change my mind, they take both scenarios.

The Xenos rock scenario 1. As we've seen many times before, the Xenos can deal with advanced weaponry. I think the Xenos telepathic capabilities, speed and agility is to much for the prawns here. I can see the Prawns taking an upper hand on the Xenos early on but once the xenos learn the Prawns strength and weapon capabilities they will quickly alter their tactics. The Prawns only chance is to keep the Xenos at bay because as soon as the Xenos close with tail range, the Prawns are dead . The blood from a few thousand dead xenos will quickly limit the Prawns movement capabilities on the battle field and i think the Xenos will use this to work the Prawns into a bottleneck.

Scenario 2 easily goes to the prawns, assuming each one has a battlesuit. Those suits are just to damn agile for their size and weapon capabilities.
