Ground assault on a battleship
I've had good luck attacking a battle ship by the "reaction wall" technique. This is where a large number of soldiers line up in sight/fire range of the exit door, but do NOT enter.
This is all about reaction fire. As soon as the door opens, your units will open fire on any alien.
This works fine as long as the doors close every turn. As soon as something blocks the door, abort.
If a door panel is destroyed, or if something large blocks the door open, then a blaster bomb can come out and clobber your team. Suddenly, your setup is no longer secure.
