As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

So far we have 3 grenadiers. Just waiting on if IronyOwl decides to join you guys with that or take a med-kit.

Whoa. Odds of psionics aren't good, but I guess depositing beams or bolts of various matter or energy types directly into alien faces could be considered a form of psionics.

Medikit, you heathens. Those weapons are valuable!

Question: do we get to pick weapons and whatnot or is that defaulted?

Also, are there specified positions, etc? Like medic, sniper, etc? I never played x-com, but I was told this was like space hulk except without gene stealers and terminator squads

In this game, yes. In the original, weapons were assigned and there were no classes or abilities. That one was also 80% more deadly, and gave you a squad of 26 with the best transport.

In which case, sign me up for sniper duty! Im assuming will means courage, so I'm guessing I'm a cowardly bastard, so I guess shotgun maniac is out of the question. So lets have at those aim skills! ;D

Classes are randomly assigned to you when you level up to Squaddie rank. Is part of the game mechanics.

    Will in the early game determines how easily you panic and indulge in lethal friendly-fire.

The commander strode into the barracks, watching as the men and women were engaged in a rousing game of cards.
"Who wants to get shot by aliens?"
The whole barracks suddenly stopped what they were doing, in a mix of surprise and confusion. One person actually toppled backwards out of their chair. The commander scooped up a small handful of nearby cards, and threw them at the congregation of rookies.
"Those of you that got hit with a card, follow me."
He walked out of the room, and in the hallway he had already set up a rack with 4 grenades and 4 medikits, made just minutes before.
He turned around. "This everyone?"
"I got hit with two cards, sir."
"Don't care, everyone grab your equipment, and get your rifles, and meet me at the hanger.'
The soldiers quickly rushed the rack, and grabbed the grenades.
"Seriously, guys? The Doc already got on me for you guys blowing up everything!"
With that, Irony Owl grabbed a lone medikit, and scampered off after the rest.
