All Grenade, All the time

Wanderer:
Anyone else for amusement value done an all grenade squad?  Smokes, Plasmas, Frags, Infernos, flashbangs...

Grab your highest TU soldiers, load 'em up with grenades, and clear rooms without ever firing a shot... though lots of smoke. XD

These squads are rediculously nasty, and tend to be quite effective.  I've even used them on Very Hard to good effect unless the board is a sniper heaven (IE: Dam).  The only problem... Lots and lots of dead civvies. XD  Oops!  Run you fools!

Stalins Organ:
I remember people doing similar things with X-com - using jsut pistols or jsut grenades.

It's for those who have no empathy with their little pixellated people!! ;)

Surrealistik:
I have, the strategy is highly effective precisely because some of the most powerful weaponry and equipment happen to be grenades. Smoke grenades help you compensate for their short ranged aspect, so it's viable (if not as effective) even on largely open maps. Personally though, I prefer all knife squads.

XaverXN:
Gosh, whats next?

Anyone likes to strangle them with his all skipping rope squads?

You make the soldier models of 18yo girls in catholic school uniforms with mary janes and skipping ropes, I assure you the rest of my military will rust in peace.  We'll 'cute' them to death! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!.
