Only 1 dead? No, that doesn't sound normal, anything up to 3 dead can be normal .

A dirty mind is its own reward.

As Dam said, this game is not a walk in the park!  I guess the difficulty level is part of its appeal.

 

I usually spend the first couple of turns building up support and moving marines to build a cohesive defensive formation.  Leaving a marine without support at the mercy of a swarm may pay off one or two times if you are lucky, but it unfortunately won't get you far very often...

 

Good luck to you

You tricked me in, succubus

It can happen with poor planning, and since you are new to the game, it makes sense. A good starting tactic is to put one support token on each marine  at a location card, so that they have a greater chance of surviving.
