OK but what about organizations and the Cult? If I got it right, the downside of an organization being infiltrated is that you won't be able to trade with them any longer, and that they might attack you. But since the Cult has nothing to trade, is apparently hostile from the start, and anyway will hate me more every time I kill an alien, is there a point in investing any effort in fighting alien infiltration in their organization? The problem is that to fight infiltration at any other organization I have to fight the aliens only, but at a Cultist location there are guards attacking me, and they're much tougher than the aliens at this point, and this is before they're infiltrated (1%) and they're listed only as "unfriendly", not "hostile".

I haven't even tried turn-based battles. The experience I've had so far is that at long range I'm untouchable, it's when enemies come close that I'm at risk. And most of my soldiers had machine guns, but enough bullets hit the targets before they came close, even though my soldiers had no training at this point.

12 men 12 guns? Then you don't equip a weapon in each hand as many people seem to do? Have you tried it?

What's the problem with missile launchers? I previous XCOM games I didn't like them because they had terrible accuracy, and it was always better to throw a grenade, that always lands at least near instead of flying by. But the missiles in Apocalypse are homing (unlike explosive auto-cannon ammo), they look like a sweet deal. The only downside I see would be damaging property inside the city?

And how do you go about stunning aliens? It seems to be absolutely necessary to capture lots of them for research.

Do you use psi (I guess so if you recruit half breeds), if so how?
