SOLDIER FODDER

1) Now I realise this is a pretty Immoral bit of advice, but by buying loads
of rookies, you can then select the ones with good strength,
reactions,morale, and shooting accuracy, and then use the weaklings as scout
fodder. Yes that right, make them wonder around through busy alien territory
with only a stun rod and some brown trousers. If they survive, hurrah. If
they die, never mind  - next!

2) Rookies also make good grenade users as their inaccuracy isn't quite so
Important with these area weapons.

3) Always take some rookies with you on your missions, and get them building
up their stats, ie: If you want more strength get the rookie carrying heavy
gear. Maybe you'd like more accuracy, then get the rookie to fire more
shots.  Dont forget soldiers with kills gain more experience, than those
without.
