Is there any good ways to keep the SAM's? Deidrannas elite forces seem to attack them as soon as i take over them.
And my fighting squad (3-4 merc's) isent good enough to stand up against thoose attacks, especially during day combat.
Wich is the best defense for theese sectors?

Militia is generated on the spots the soldiers were when you conquered the map. so if there was a sniper enemy somewhere, there might be a militia sniper.
you can of course move soldiers on roofs using the mapeditor, then, a bigger number of your militia will spawn on roofs (off course, this also menas more enemies are on roofs in these sectors)
i used to follow the same tactics as you guys, but then i found it a waste of time, money and energy to train militia that was about to die anyway. so, if counterattacks are immediate, such as the one against the first sam site, my mercs wait in an ambush in the sector outside the SAM (they always come the same way)
my mercs won`t be tired and no militia will pick up any items i dropped in the sector, and the fight will be over much sooner.
yet later in the game, i would use similar tactics as mentioned above. some fighters like Ivan (he`s the best) with Burstfire fighting in the very front, while snipers such as reaper or scope will make use of long-range rifles to slow down or kill enemies spotted by the militia.
of course, your fighters must be placed outside the range of the first turn (as enemy often gets the first turn when attacking a sector)
enemy often lines up or assembles in groups, use grenades, lighsticks and stuff to take the initiative from them and give an advantage to your miitia.

Mercs ingame? you move to the wall, open inventory screen and klick the "ladder" symbol (is it really that what you mean?)
there is certainly some hotkey for this, but i often use inventory screen...
*edit* i mean Merc inventory screen. it does not display any hotkey informations, but id there is one, somebody around here probably knows

(I've been testing this a bit: really "directing" your mercs works better)
