Killing Grey Aliens

If you ever want to learn combat tactics against grey aliens you should check out the original X-com UFO defense. I think X-com is the best game I ever played. It really teaches you strategy and tactics for use against aliens. X-com stands for Extraterrestrial Combat Unit.
X-com is a World organization dedicating to stopping aliens. It is as much a strategy game as a combat game. The goal was to protect countries for more funding. Fail to protect a country, and they might drop funding to X-com altogether.
In the game you would go on missions. You might go investigate a downed UFO. You might also investigate a landed UFO, much more fun, since all the aliens were still alive. You might stop the aliens from terrorizing a city. The aliens were smart, they would come attack your base.
The fun part of X-com was your squad. You could take fourteen soldiers on a mission and later in the game twenty six. When you recruited soldiers the computer would randomly assign names. You could change the soldiers names to anything you wanted. Ed Johnson was a soldier who got caught in an open field, he didn't make it. You really grow attached to the little guys. Our dog was named Ed in honor. Nothing like the feeling of sending your boss into the alien spacecraft first.
X-com had different types of aliens. Sectoids were basicly grey aliens. I want to mention Chryssalids. These were beings that would inject a toxin into their victims. The victim would turn into a zombie, and a few turns later a Chyssalid. You had to stop them fast or civilians and your squad turned into an army of Chryssalids. They were also extremely fast. I remember one mission where I ran my squad off the ship, surrounded it, and had my squad all facing outwards. Unfortunately, a Chryssalid was underneath the ship, chaos reigned. That mission did not go so well. I learned always check underneath the ship.
X-com really taught combat strategies and tactics against greys. Everything from a Zulu triangle combat formation, to my favorite, sending a point man out to get shot, then seeing where the shot came from. The sectoids could mind control weak minded members of your team and turn them against you. You very quickly learned to kill those members, without hesitating. You also learned not to bunch up because of grenades. Anybody that has played X-com is much more prepared to fight real greys.
If you want to learn combat strategy and tactics against grey aliens check out X-com. I also highly recommend X-com Terror from the deep. You will end up discussing combat strategy and tactics with your friends and family. The games fun factor is through the roof. Its a great stress reliever to kill some aliens.
I will close with, given how many people I know played X-com in Indianapolis. We are prepared for a grey invasion of Earth.
