Over on the "How to post bugs" thread, Chris posted as an example...
"ie, "[V7.5 - Ground Combat] Aliens have infinite health!""

Tactics to be determined by the AI that's being worked on...

...and there you are. A Predator style mission designed to sow fear into a funding nation. Added dev points for making them available in the hot summer seasons of funding nations.
Obvious really...
