Sorry for another post, but I forgot to mention about what you said about the lack of a moving back to back tactic. It actually can be done.
Freeze time and go into command mose (right click map)
Select the marine that will be walking backwards.
Position him behind the marine that will be moving forward (click on the square behind the other marine)
Turn him around(left or right click the turn arrows on the top of the screen)
Command Marine to move to other end of hallway(left click on end of hallway)
Make sure overwatch is on (left or right click marine logo in upper left corner of screen, the marine pic with lines coming out is overwatch mode, I forget if its left or right click)
Commit the command (click the go button)
Now, when you unfreeze the game, the marine will walk backwards down the hallway as long as there is an empty square in back of him until he reaches the end of the hallway. So basically, he will take a step back for every step that the other marine is walking forward. (You may want to walk that one manually as walking backwards is slower than forward, if you command him to walk to the end of the hallway, he will leave the backwards marine behind)
If aliens are coming down on the backwards marine, put his view on the main window and fire manually, you won't jam this way.
Ok, this is getting long.... I love this game....Hope I can sleep tonight
