ENGAGING  ALIENS

1) Chrysalids, Reapers, Silacoids, and Zombies are all limited to
hand-to-hand combat.   If you posses a flying suit, take to the skies and
shoot them from here ( duh ). {:�[)

2) Its also worth remembering that, when fighting Reapers, they can't attack
through single-wide doors as they themselves take double width.

3) When at a terror site, try to kill Chrysalids as soon as you can
otherwise you'll have tons of Zombies to deal with as well.
NOTE: Kill Chrysalids even if it means taking the penalty for killing
civilians along the way.  If you have to, just use rockets or blaster bombs
and grenades as much as it takes.

4) If you're really concerned about the Chrysalids, get all of your soldiers
to carry primed proximity grenades.   This way if they get turned into a
Zombie, the first they do is drop everything, at which point the grenade
will blow up and put an end to a sizeable amount of your problems.



PS:   If you have any questions about UFO, please reply to the newsgroup,
and in the subject box type " UFO question ", its as simple as that.
