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
How do you organize your squads?
