I was wondering if you tried to play by Res rules would it work with Prem starters since they don't have cross locations or barriers or such?

More or less. Actually, the main site had rules for playing a fully working game using only the cards in the starters, and taking full advantage of the revised rules. I'll have to dig around and see if I still have it.

I've got a question - My marine is attacked by predator and I play Covering fire because rest of my marines are targeting predator and one of them misses , pred plays friendly fire .Is my marine benefited from covering fire or not (I suppouse not because he should only get + to defense aginst that predator) anyway I am waiting for clarifications.

good question. Covering Fire's wording is a bit ambiguous. Logically, in this situation, the Covering Fire wouldn't help against Friendly Fire, but the card does not say that the defense bonus is only for that attack. Another potential rules issue is, what if you have 3 aliens attacking the marine who has Covering Fire played on them? does the defense bonus apply to all 3 attacks? Once again, logically, it shouldn't.
Uusally, when all else fails, i take the real world example, and use that as a rule, so I'd say it does not apply to the Friendly Fire.

Cards in Discussion;
Carter Burke Type: Marine Main Character Speed/ Power: 2 / 2 Resource: Coward, Unlucky Game Text: When searching Weaponry locations, he can also find Equipment or Military Arms. Quote This installation has a substantial dollar value attached to it.
Cpl Hicks Type: Marine Main Character Speed/ Power: 3 / 4 Resource: Marine, Brave, Marksman, Tactics, Veteran Game Text: Plus 1 to hit with Ranged weapons. Rotate to Ready any Marine at the same location. Quote All right people, let's move like we've got a purpose.
While Carter Burke is a Marine Main Character, he is not a Marine as he does not have the Marine Resource. Therefore Cpl Hicks cannot ready him.

Yep, though Marine Short Course, played off of Hicks, fixes the problem.

Nope, Alien Birth is not an ongoing effect. It will cancel Permanent Events, and some other events, like Heat of battle, that have a long term effect. Anyone know if you can Counter a Masterful Shot, since the +to hit bonus lasts until the end of the phase? I'm not sure, myself, if that would count as a single, instant effect, or would count as an ongoing effect. Counter needs errata.
There where lists of official rulings, anyone have these? i'll look for em myself, tonight. There was an old forum or message board group where i found a lot of rulings and some Atmosphere spoilers a long time ago, stuff I never saw on the official site, I'll have to try and track that back down, seeing as I don't have the address anymore. Might have been found through yahoo though. maybe a yahoo group?

Just a note, all the Marines in Res are Main Character: Human, as are the rogues, so Main Character: Marine doesn't exist anymore. looks like this is one potential problem they caught.
