I must be doing something wrong. I'm running V1.2 - straight from GoG. I haven't made it past the first 2 missions yet without losing at least one troop in each mission. I'm on n00b level.
The main problem seems to the zerg rush tactics of the aliens. I can't seem to handle one at a time -- instead, as soon as one is spotted the rest show up. And by rest I mean 1 starshocker, 2 flatsters, 1 moraman, and 2 brainthings.
Being a tactical game, you'd figure if you have good cover, and a cross-fire, you could take down a few before they actually get to your position and you need to fall back. But instead, they just keep rushing you. The range/RoF and stopping power of the zap-guns isn't enough. Instead, I end up trying to kite the non-ranged guys -- which is kinda lame. But the ranged guys toast me.
Is there a way to deal with them one at a time?
Suggestions?
