At the moment, the winner is the *one* side left at the end. However, the human players will have to work together at the start otherwise the aliens will easily win. Once (/if) the aliens are defeated, it's then a battle between the two human sides.
I realise it's not exactly what you meant with a co-op game, but I thought it would make for an interesting mission! I'll do another one in the future where two sides can win together.
The new mission name sounds good, but do you think it adequately describes how the mission is played? Maybe "Alien Hordes v 2 Human Teams"?

Yeah I guess that does make a kind of interesting mission - although without trying it, to me the odds would immediately seem against the humans in that kind of scenario. Aliens 50%, Humans-1 25%, Humans-2 25%.
As for the name - I guess it depends on how many variations of the same team/co-operative mission are created. "Alien Hordes v 2 Human Teams" is certainly more accurately named.
Taking your first point, but if the humans work together then the aliens are at a disadvantage, as it's then 14 alien units v 10 shooting units. The catch is then that at what point do the humans turn on each other?

Yeah, maybe you are right. It certainly makes things interesting anyway. :)
