Base Defense (Apocalypse)

The damage, losses and irritation of base defense can be easily minimised not so much by what you do on the tactical map, but how you build your base in the first place. By following these simple steps you can make basze defense missions a walk in the park.

1. When buying a new base, take into account the location of the access lift. Lifts located in corners or in narrow corridors are easily defended as they create a bottle neck, slowing down the advance of alien hordes. 2. Bear in mind that vehicle repair bays are a form of entrance too, and the aliens will have no hesitation of swarming in through any foolisly unguarded, or poorly placed, bays. 3. Isolate Lifts and repair bays by surrounding them with a string of security stations, advanced security stations are naturally better if you have the technology and the space. 4.If need be place further security stations down important corridors, such as between access points and living quaters. Any alien unlucky enough to come within range of these facilities will be shot to pieces and, better still, you wont lose an agent.
