Short Bounce Grenading

This is a potentially dangerous tactic, but yields great results. The high bounce of the grenade during the explosion works very nicely as an anti-personnel tactic.

Marine Tactic - Grenadier

Performing Grenade Short Bounce:

1. Aim directly one space in the direction you want the grenade to go with a Terrain Fire (orange line) order.

2. Head for cover - follow up your Short Bounce by ducking all nearby units around a building corner, into a room, away from windows, running quickly in the opposite direction, etc.

3. Test your orders - several times.

This anti-personnel tactic is risky and inaccurate but works well against:

• Grouped Marines charging down a small area

• Spawn rushing your position

• Clearing a room while continuing down the intended path

• Denial of area for self-defense of a Grenadier

• Sacrifice of Grenadier with overwhelming enemies attacking
