Title: How do you guys compose your squads?
Post by: normae on January 03, 2020, 04:19:42 am

UFOpaedia is coy about this, and I've not found any information about how players typically organize their forces. I've always believed in squad-type organization for my guys, with multiple active groups on the map.

Typically four man-
Rifleman
Rifleman Specialist (typically carries a flamethrower + rifle)
Heavy Weapons
Officer (small arms, medikit, smoke and various grenades)

set in 3 groups, with a small support squad of heavy weapons covering the UFO. But in the past I've experimented with 3-man (riflemen x2 and the HW specialist carries the medikit) and 6-man (rifleman x2, Specialist, sharpshooter, heavy weapons, officer) squads with varying degrees of effectiveness. I'm very interested in learning how other players approach this

First 4 guys have heavy rockets.  At the very beginning they all have but in mid game just the first 4.  Later I put all the low psi strengths in the front line for reconnaissance.
