OK, I'll give it a try. Name the bloke with the highest accuracy "Richard Havell" and give him a rifle in his right hand, nothing in his left hand, a pistol on his belt, the rest of his belt and knee and shoulder pads filled with grenades and ammo packs. Alo, name the worst soldier "Andrew Davis" (one of my friends
) and give him lots and lots of explosives so you can send him on suicide missions.
With the research, research laser riflrs and then Medipacks and then get personal armour.
