Fatal Wounds

Fatal Wounds decrease the unit's current Health each turn. The number of Fatal Wounds determine the amount that are lost. For instance, a soldier with 2 Fatal Wounds will lose 2HP per turn. Using the Medi-Kit will heal Fatal Wounds and restore some Health. Quickly healing a wounded soldier may also mean less wound recovery time (back at base), because recovery time is based on health at the end of the mission.

Warning: Unconcious soldiers still take wound damage and CAN DIE if not treated. So if one of your soldiers is knocked unconscious by shots or explosions (as opposed to a stun bomb), it is important to revive them ASAP so you can check them for Fatal Wounds. See Medi-Kit and Unconscious Soldiers for more info. Keep in mind that you can pick up and move (or even throw) someone, if you have a man down in a hot zone.
