I don't know about for normal people, but for us Daleks having a unit
lead
up by flame throwers (to torch the scenery and create smoke for cover),
followed by an APSW carrying version, a LAD carrying version, a couple
of
suicide units (portable mines effectively), an element of standard
Daleks
(to rattle around saying "exterminate, exterminate) and finally an
engineering Dalek (to patch up pieces as they go down) works wonders for
us
;)
