One thing I just have a really hard time with in this game is that you are not in a rush. Unlike many games there is no deadline to complete the level. There isn't even really a sense of needing to take the aliens off-balance, before they organise an effective defence (which is so true in games like Panzer Leader). This is counter-intuitive for me. But I really need to slow down, take it very slow and carefully. To be honest the main difference between my 23-KIA mission and my 10-KIA mission was patience. With more patience I'm sure I could get the KIAs down to just one or two.

Wahey! Did it with only 1 KIA! And using the same (lousy) weapons mix, all heavy plasmas, no support weapons (except 2 Stun Launchers and 3 rounds total), no light/flares/IC, no smoke, hardly any grenades - and I still captured the Commander.

Patience, as they say, is a virtue.

PS I still think half the alien casualties were from their own Blaster Bombs. And this is on Superhuman, so their reactions/accuracy is typical 60/60 - way better than all but my top 4-5 guys.
