			== Number of Aliens Appearing ==

			I've only played this far in EW twice so far, but the number of aliens seems to have a much wider range than would be expected from other missions. One game, Base Defense came in September when I had about 8 Colonels, 50+ total soldiers, all Plasma weapons, Ghost and Archangel armor; 37 aliens appeared. The other was in June with only 4 Colonels, 13 soldiers in barracks, Laser weapons, Carapace Armor and Skeleton Suit; 26 aliens appeared (almost 30% fewer), and this was much easier because the smaller early waves were quicker to wipe out. I'm wondering if the number of soldiers in the barracks is a factor in the number of aliens, besides the month controlling which types appear.
