Avoid using the default configurations to not waste Threat Value on useless components, such as Zero-G Systems and Submersible Capability. Build your gear specifically for each mission.
-Put your squad in column formation to keep them together while traveling through thick forests or cities. Spread out into wedge or echelon formation in open areas to give your squad's firepower maximum coverage.
-When you attack a known enemy position, divide your squad into separate groups and attack from two directions. It will change how effectively the enemy AI responds.
