Tactics for new players

Respect opportunity fire. Long paths through open floors get marines killed. Short bounds between cover win fights.
Weight is AP. A lighter kit with full actions often beats max gear with half a turn.
One marine draws, others shoot. Don’t move the whole squad into the same kill zone on the same turn.
Doors are weapons. Closing or controlling doors cuts sight and funnels enemies.
Kneel and aim when holding. If you’re watching a hallway, stance and facing matter as much as the gun.
Grenades for rooms, not for ego. A bad throw wastes AP and the grenade; a good one ends a stalemate.
Smoke to cross. If you must cross a watched gap, break LoS first.
End turn with intent. Leaving AP unused is fine if everyone is in cover; rushing “one more move” is how turn reviews become funerals.
Hotseat / PBEM etiquette. No peeking the other side’s screen or files if you’re playing competitively.
Learn from turn review. When the enemy turn replays, note where they stood and which angles killed you — use those next round.
