Either throw grenades at groups of 3+ or headshot with rifles is best for this i think

Barry them with shaped charges and/or break out an LMG. You can overwatch almost the entire group that spawns closest to you.

I was disappointed when I left all the mines in place and then watched enemy soldiers walk right over them with impunity. Knifey guys die first, always. Don't hesitate to shoot his legs. Get everybody to cover or very hard to see as quickly as possible. Up and down plinky shots as long as you can get away with it. They'll get an LMG covering your initial cover eventually, so it's best to try and keep some guys 'forward' in cover behind the garden walls.

You can run out the MG overwatch moving safely behind a garden wall... for whatever reason. Once that's done, plink and repeat. Headhunter usually roams through the house, but he shouldn't be too much trouble to deal with.

I uh, usually don't have an LMG at this point.

Thanks I'll try some of your suggestions out :)

Whenever in trouble, grenades and especially shaped charges are usually handy. Otherwise, since it's probably night, you can also run to the house as soon as possible and find better cover there to fight on your terms, since the cellar exit is quite exposed and enemies are coming from 3 different directions.

Yeah i think this should be the kill order in almost any scenario

Rocketmen > Brutes > Grenadiers > Snipers > Infantry > Medics

When I had the scene where they say they waited for me outside, I picked my other squad in the town south and had them move to the mansion. When I deployed them, no enemies spawned at that time. Not knowing what was happening, I set them all up inside the mansion. Then, I chose the squad in the bunker again, made them exit, then at that point the enemies spawned, but my squad that came from the south town all got back to the deployment zone, meaning they couldn't get to the fight in time. They managed to kill the headhunters and 3 other dudes, but yeah, I wish you could help yourself in that fight that way. Seems like the devs didn't want me to do that.

That is brillant, too bad it did not work...
Is this fight worth it honestly ? I am still shooting with AKs and those guys are tough, I feel like giving it a pass for now.

Ghost manor battle (near fleatown)?

After you exit the basement position your mercs as close to the wall as possible. This way you will be as far away from the enemy and they won't be able to shoot at you and will only close the distance.

Use flare sticks or flare gun to give you vision. Throw pipe bombs for 3AP then shot the pipebomb with another merc. Then throw another pipe bomb. shoot that one as well. You will kill both machete guy and shotgun guy without them doing reaction shots.

Possibly throw smoke grenades or tear grenades toward machinegunner enemies to create vision obstruction so they are not able to shoot at you precisely.

AKs are fine.

Yes I don't have enough grenades or pipe bombs yet, will shoot them later.
