Opening/Closing doors
The program automatically opens a door when you select a route
that passes through one.
Use the Open/Close door command in situations when you need to
pause outside
a door before opening it, demanding a separate
Open command.
To open,
left-click on the Open/Close icon and then left-click on
a door.
To close, right-click on the Open/Close icon and then left-click
on a door.
Remember that Terminators moving in Overwatch see closed doors
as threats. They stop moving and shoot the door until it is destroyed.
Note: Sometimes your point of departure is a teleport square. To
activate the teleport device the door must be closed. Right-click
on the door frame to close the door.
Game Tac tics
lesson number 1 - Genestealers move faster than
Terminators.
Stay hidden until you’re sure you
can destroy your target. Before
committing your squad to on order look at the distances involved. if
there are blips near the point of destination or in an adjoining
room, the chances are a Genestealer is upon you before you know
what’s happening.
lesson number 2 - Genestealers aren’t stupid.
Genestealers have the habit of finding the lone Terminator you’ve
sent off to find something. It’s always
a good move to have all
Genestealer entrances covered before going ahead with the mission.
This prevents single Genestealers going off in search of prey.
lesson number 3 - Don’t hang around.
Staying in one place for too long gets you into trouble. The
Genestealers start to arrive in large numbers and very soon you
are
over-run. Concentrate on your mission objectives and get the job done.
Lesson number 4 - Do not rely on Overwatch.
Having all of your Terminators standing in Overwatch waiting for
the next Genestealer to arrive does not guarantee you success.
Terminators often find their shells ricochet off the hard Genestealer’s
skin -there is no substitute for you taking control of one (as the
Primary Terminator) and firing the shots yourself.
