Bugs in stable version (2.5) / Alien Attack Counter

Very minor. If you retry an alien attack on your base the counter for attacks on your base seems to increment again. That or it just increments twice and my retrying each attack exactly once is a coincidence.

Tactics / I <3 Smoke Grenades

« on: October 30, 2012, 10:17:18 pm »

There are certain maps where even attempting them felt like slaughter. Troops get off the dropship and get gunned down from five angles immediately. You know what I'm talking about. You wonder why they pilot couldn't find another place to land.

For these situations Smoke Grenades are amazing at giving you the cover you need to establish a good position. My initial attempts to use them involved trying to block enemy LOS by putting them in the cloud but it's actually often better to cloak your troops directly if the terrain is very open.
