	Additional Note on large units: An alternative, if you're lucky, is to Mind Control only 1 square of the unit, move as much as possible, Mind Control another square, move as much as possible, and repeat. This makes the unit a very effective scout but it tends to be self-destructive if it can shoot. The large aliens are actually 4 units moving at the same time so you can actually make the alien move in 2 directions without incurring Reaction Fire so long as you keep the piece(s) out of the other piece(s) line of sight since they will look the same direction as your Mind Controlled piece. You can also avoid reaction fire by making sure it doesn't have enough TU's to fire on your Mind Controlled piece(s) since the Alien-Controlled piece(s) have the same TU's you have at the moment. Ex.: Sectopod piece has 8 TU's left to move with. Other pieces can't shoot since they take more TU's than the ones currently available.
