This was our first game with Jaldon's special rules. Biggest changes from v0.3 were no rally mod, no merging, and brood being unable to contest/controlled (whether lead by synapse or not).

This game went to points with the bugs winning by a slim margin, less than 300 points if I had to guess from the final picture and what was destroyed.

so I'm guessing all the swarms came down this time? How many nid fms failed to rally in each end phase as a result of dropping the rally mod (ignore +2 for broken, right?). The nids seemed to do as well (or badly) as they always do, irrespective of that, just going on the final result.
