Achievements
Chain Reaction: Blow at least 9 smoke tiles at once with the Cloud Catalyst..
Warm Welcome: Have at least 5 enemies emerge on fire tiles in a single mission.
Fighting Smart: Beat the game with less then 5 damage caused to your mechs or allies.
Tips
Tested on hard with 2, 3 and 4 islands. The squad has a bit of a rough start, but has a strong late game.
Since Spark Mech deals 2 damage but can't push or flip, start in islands with low health enemies and avoid health or armor pylons.
Spread smoke early on to blow things up in later turns, but don't over do it. Most times the best solution is to just shoot things.
You can start upgrading +1 Smoke for Steam Blaster, but upgrade Cloud Catalyst early if you have the chance.
Train missions are hard, but possible if you take your time. Be careful not to blow up your allies, time pods and objectives.
You can use Nimbus Mech to remove smoke from a key position or disconect smoke chains that could harm your allies.

Re: [Squad] Fire Storm v.1.0
Just FYI, I'm getting memory error crashes when trying to view the Spark Mech's tooltip. It fires the first shot at the Scorpion, then crashes while trying to fire the second. I only had 1 other mod enabled at the time.
