For instance, a slug rifle does 1d6 kills at near range, so if you took out a token with one of those at near range, you'd roll 1d6 and the result would be how many aliens you killed. So if you rolled a four, you'd record 4 kills in the block on your character sheet for "kills this mission".

Does that help?
Well, sort of. I guess the bit Im not getting is.. how do I play this in the game?

if I as a GM decide there's going to be a bug ambush in the old science complex, and there's gonna be 4 tokens involved, how do we actually play that out ?

I guess Im trying to figure out how we actually play this. Do we narrate stuff after rolling the dice for how many bugs killed, or how does it all compute?
