Wow... it cleared whole room of aliens... and shot my hammer guy to pieces as well. Gotta be more careful next time.

I had my AC guy explode once. He was on overwatch and fired at an alien. Then I heard a beeping and thought "uh-oh" and prayed "maybe he's jammed? can AC's jam?" and he exploded. I wish I know that could even happen.

I had a most hilarious moment with the auto-cannon guy when testing my campaign. He was the last survivor, the task was to destroy 9 or so crates in a room. He busted in, aliens right behind him in pursuit. I thought - I will just auto-fire the crates, and it's mission complete. To my surprise, he shot three crates and exploded, resulting in mission failure. +1 fun factor!

After reloading the Vulcan Cannon a malfunction can happen which basically means the same thing as self destructing the Flamer Thrower. It is not very likely, the VC rolls 3 D6 and only if all three dices are same value it will blow up. Still the risk is big enough for me to think twice before shooting after reloading...and never do full auto after reloading. :)

As Jorgen pointed out, "suddenly there is a two square gap between my soldier with a reloaded VC and the rest of the soldiers...I wonder why". :D

*dakka dakka da...beep-beep-beep-beep...kaboooom*

Did all crates get burned? In that case it should have been a mission success but you suffered from the "burn crates doesn't complete objective bug". :(

Will be fixed in V1.01.

Niklas: Remember the malfunction only blows up the stuff immediately next to the Marine?

Oh, yeah, we might have changed the radius...still nasty.

i had one marine left with a VC and a blip appeared on the scanner right around the corner. he was out of ammo so he reloaded and set to overwatch as he was only 3 squares away from them.
First swarmy goes down, second goes down...beep beep beep, i knew what was about to happen and i thought well at least it will take heaps down with him...stupid tiny blast radius! i thought it would be like the tac shield or flamethrower self destruct...
