It's been a while since I played last but...
I usually give everyone a plasma rifle except for a couple of guys with the bigger guns. If I haven't got enough specimens yet, then i'll give a couple of guys plasma pistols and stun rods.
I'm sure I have a few guys with medikits and other random bits of kit but the main thing is to have a bunch of those glowy things incase I arrive before dawn.
I didn't use a tank very often, but I did use a bunch of save slots...
I'll send my guys out in pairs and fan outwards from the Skyranger after establishing a perimeter. The guy in front will only move for about half his AP and the second guy will stay still and cover. Next turn the guy behind will move in front and the first guy will become cover. I try not to move forwards too far at once, that way if an alien is revealed the second guy should have enough AP to move up for a shot.
I don't think i'll be playing again until I get The Bureau though.
