Ugh... Maybe I'm not just cut out for this game. I'm usually pretty good at strategy games, but this... It seems like my squad of four can be taken out by a single first tier alien with a gun. I can handle chompers and danglelflies, but the more humanoid aliens sometimes completely waste me. The story seems *really* good, but I'm never going to finish it at the rate I'm going. I really have no idea what I'm doing wrong, I just seem to always get my butt kicked. I have two soldiers with shotguns and two with dual pistols... One of my shotgunners seems to need to be 4 feet away from the enemy just to have a 12% chance of hitting it. Everybody has no armor, except a light helmet. If I have to fight two slimethrowers, one of those humanoid aliens, and a chomper at the same time, I might as well just give up. Anybody have any advice on how to get better at this game?
