- Your MS Autocannon men are like terminators. Give them some decdnt armour to complete their deadly ensemble.

- yes, but then my men will not run very far, so i dont really want to spend money on armour, better off whit mk-1 rifels or grenades, more bang for your bucks.

- I agree grenades and manoeuvrability over armour every time. But have you ever seen an alien bounce off full armour without inflicting even a scratch? Armed with autocannons you wouldn't be the one running I guess. I lost a game against Agent Orange when he had full armour and faced the alien horde armed with Knives only. I'm not suggesting you try it. The best combo is grenades, accurate guns and opportunity fire. Creative use of weapon combos can be fun though and the unexpected is a tactic in itself.

- I dont know how strong aliens attacks really are against any type amour, but the nasty explotion when aliens dies, had me running.. but could give it a try.

- Hee hee you certainly did! Had my aliens freaked out. Steve is talking about increasing armour effectiveness so it might be a better option in the future. I believe the best armour is very good at defending against frontal attacks but if an alien gets behind you then kiss your ass goodbye.
