Gidday all!
So, I bought myself the dropship, loaded it up with eight soldiers, flew off to the alien landing site and...
Only one soldier came out of the ship. The other seven were hiding on the dropship or something, I couldn't select them, not by keypad or by the 1-2-3-etc up the top of the screen.
Of course my poor soldier on her own did not do so well against five aliens...
Am I missing some obvious button to press to unload the other 7 soldiers?
