Playthroughs / I start my missions with my soldiers holding primed grenades..

Does anyone else do this? So far, this strategy has kept most, if not all of my soldiers alive and lots of dead aliens within the first few turns. It always fills me with glee when I hear their alien screams as I watch them fall one after another. (Not that I enjoy murderous rage, but when aliens attack MY planet, I enjoy revenge.) It can horribly backfire, but at worst, so far I only lost 4 soldiers in one blast. However, never as much as I used to when I was trying to be more cautious.. which should be the other way around. I'm much more successful in my missions, by aggressively bulldozing headfirst into the action and blowing the crap out of anything that even looks my way.
And one of my favorite moments, just to add (since this is the forum section to do it): Stupid little sectoid manages to hit my rocketeer from a long distance away. The rocketeer reacts with a nice large rocket - over the same distance - perfect aim, blows up the little a-hole, also blows up a gas pump which takes out another.
