All the classes in Gears Tactics, and everything we know so far

Gears Tactics is an upcoming turn-based strategy game set in the Gears of War universe. Your squads will be made up of distinct classes with additional specializations. Here's what we know so far.

Gears Tactics is an upcoming turn-based strategy game from The Coalition and Splash Damage, set in the popular Gears of War mythos. Set over a decade before the events of the first game, Gears Tactics has you take command of the remnants of the C.O.G. army in a desperate bid to fight back against a violent Locust horde.

In Gears Tactics, your squads will be made up of fixed character heroes who are integral to the plot, but you'll also get access to a small army of randomly-generated troops, who can suffer perma-death just like good old XCOM. Througho...
