Tactic Roundtable: Dealing with DEFCON 2 TOW/LTB Combo

[Pigeon]

Rush the tank with the whole hive, either tank dies and aliens can continue or everyone is dead. See mission complete.

I know it sounds unrelated but STOP KILLING CAPTURES,EVEN IF WE DONT NEED CAPS,more bodies in our hive =LESS DEFCON IN THEIR MORGUE also DRAG DEAD SISTER BODIES TO THE HIVE,LURKER GANGS CAN FOCUS DOWN ON IOs,take out the IO detachment and cripple their intel game

[Call me Arty]

You're all wrong.

Get a Hivelord with that remote-build strain, and just get them a guard to build walls behind the tank. What are they going to do, shoot them down?

Now, marines have to dig the tank out of a pit of resin that blocks its movement, firing lines, and marine assistance. If you get real gamey, leave a gap large enough for a crusher or boiler to land hits through, but it offscreen for the tank.
