Hi.
After having played a lot of missions I realized that the main tactic in Space Crusade is hand-to-hand combat.
Alien player usually send waves of aliens to overrun a single marine squad. Even a gretchin is more deadly in hand-to-hand than in range combat: 18,52% to kill a marine in h-t-h combat VS 8,33% to kill it with a range weapon!

So, marine players usually try to focus on weapons and equipment that ameliorate melee attacks.
That's the tipical setup of a squad with a sergeant:
Marine commander with sword and glove (even the Imperial fists!).
At least 2 marines with bolter.
Equipment cards: bolt pistol, blind grenade, melta bomb, targeter.
Blood angels have also the choice of close assault blades and bionic arm.
