Keeping your soldiers healthy is probably the most important part about this achievement. Since this is a rushed campaign your roster is going to be incredibly small.Soldier classes aren'timportant. I know there are some easy ways to get Psionic units with mods, but I didn't end up needing to use any.My roster consisted of a Scout Ranger, two Support focused Specialists, a Sniper, and two Demo Grenadiers.Don't let the idea behind this rushed campaign trick you into playing missions fast, you're going to want to play like a turtle, slowly and safely. In order to do that I used these class abilities for my soldiers...Your ranger is the frontline, use him to spot pods before they're activated. You want Ayys to trigger on their turn - which usually gives you two shots on them before they can react. Shadowstep is amazing, especially when paired with Run&Gun. Implacable and Untouchable are the go to for any ranger.Combat Protocol gets you the secured kill on the Lancer who took 7/8 damage. Haywire is an extra unit if you're lucky, Scan Protocol is essential against Chryssalids and pods the Ranger hasn't scouted. Threat Assessment is the most important ability it gives your front line two attacks in a turn.Evervigilant is great if your Ranger has blown his conceal and you want to trigger pods with a specialist - but Guardian is probably a safer ability. Specialists give you a lot of room to work with.(Probably my least favorite class.)I didn't get to level my Grenadiers up as much as I wanted, my original Grenadier was injured much more than he should've been, and my 6th unit was underleveled from missing so many missions. Still,Demolitions doesn't work against anything other than cars, so don't bother with it at the moment.Sniper: Scope & Auto-Loader.Support: Repeater & Stock.Ranger: Laser Sight & Hair Trigger.Grenadier: Expanded Magazine.
