I'm somehow missing a very important tip: Wait one turn before deployment. What you do is have your first two soldiers kneel and face to the side, so they can see and reaction shoot any aliens coming into view during their turns. Of course, if an alien is visible from the beginning, it has to be killed right away.
Advantages if one waits one turn:
- the aliens will all have moved, and will not have their full TU's left for reaction shots
- the motion scanner can pick up signals from aliens nearby
Disadvantage:
- of course, the troops sitting in the open skyranger are an ideal target if spotted by the aliens.
Because of this disadvantage, one must carefully consider the part of the map where the skyranger has landed. If there is a high chance of interception, then the deployment should be immediately performed. Markho 08:19, 14 December 2011 (EST)
