Ground Combat

[Parasite]

I have not found the First in First out, First to die advice given in the guide to be correct. (In stock) I am beginning to think that damage to troops is allotted much like damage is to weapon platforms. i.e. randomly. This throws out the three style assault force advised of a shielded type, a weapon toting type and a small ECM leader section.

I now put a small force of shielded leaders with all assults, but the rest does not matter as much. Using a lightly shielded weapon carrying group, or my cheap organic troopers just loaded down with organic guns seems to work. Possibly a force of small heavy shielded troops (saving space in the transport), large weapons troops, and a few leaders would be best.
