Troop Selection:
----------------
Which troop (and their equipment) one should send on a mission depends on the kind
of mission (assault / defend / space hulk).
Preamble: The Force Commander is always part of the force. Equip him with a good
close combat weapon (terminator energy claws are great), a thick armor (terminator
if available) plus some support items and he is a force of his own.
Assault: In an assault mission the player is the one who opens the battle.
The opponent has a defense stand, with placed turrets and may also occupy buildings
for cover.
Best team for these mission:
Scout marines with sniper rifle (to suppress opponent and to take out entrenched
units), remote mines (create big bad explosion which damages also heavy tanks),
melter bombs and explosives (for turrets / buildings).
Devastator marines: No terminator suits for these squad. The weapons for the
terminator are weaker than the "normal" weapons. Equip a rocket launcher because
there is a lot of vehicles / demons / turrets in the later missions.
Assault marines: Like the force commander, a good close combat weapon and a thick
armor (terminator if available)! It's possible to change from "silent and deadly"
to "loud and strong" by exchanging the scout marines to the dreadnought.
But please note that the dreadnought needs to be repaired.
Defense: During a defense mission the opponent hat the initiative. One need to do
a lot of damage, very fast. Normally there is not even a break between the attacks,
so healing must be done along the way.
Best team for these mission:
Tactical marines with bolter and all kind of grenades one have access to. Or,
after getting access to the terminator suits, power fist plus flame thrower and
cyclone missiles.
Devastator marines without terminator suits and equipped with a rocket launcher.
Assault marines: Again, a good close combat weapon, a thick armor (terminator if
available) and these guys will be fine (and keep the bad guys away from the
Devastator marines). No usage of Scout marines (these guys need to much time to
deal big damage) or dreadnought (needs to much time to repair) here.
Space Hulk: Maybe you know something about the old game Space Hulk: Vengeance of
the Blood Angels. When you know the basic rule: Only terminators are allowed.
That means the best team is:
* Tactical marines with terminator suits, power fist plus flame thrower (for close
combat) and cyclone missiles (for support fire).
* Devastor marines with terminator suits and assault cannon (for range combat).
* Assault marines: Terminator suits with a thunder hammer / storm shield for close
combat and protecting the devastor marines from close combat units.
* No usage of Scout marines (these guys can't take enough damage) or dreadnought
(needs to much time to repair and blocks the way for friendly units).
Don't use the Librarian for missions. These guys needs to much micromanagement
to deal only some damage.
