Talk:Field Manual: Terrain

Jasonred:

The 'Field Manual' entries belong to the X-Com Field Manual. The style of writing was to make it read like a military combat manual.

It was originally written with starting players in mind, where alien technology is unknown and all you have to work with is your standard weapons. So man-portable weapons refer to weapons like the pistol, rifle, heavy cannons, etc. Mind you, there aren't any real concrete artificial structures in this game. There is of course the Skyranger...
