ive noticed the same thing actually. Obviously, even AI should avoid being in bright light covered by darkness at all sides, so they tend to skirt around the light and end up flanking you or you losing an interrupt since your focus is on the light.

There are ways to combat this, of course. easy way would be to throw another light where the opponents would be passing to avoid the first. I leave a goot 10 tiles away from me and the edge of the first light, then throw 2 more with the epicenter of the light at about 15 tiles or less away from the previous. If you cant see em, blanket the place in light. I usually carry 3 per merc, so its no problem..

Another method i like is to use a spotter merc. Sahdow works best for apparent reasons, but my custom merc at level 10 with night ops and stealth skills (of course the 100 agility helps) -no i dont cheat- with camo on prone at an angle away from the initial group. throw the flare and keep the merc out of the light. As people skirt around, use the spotter merc as guides for the others. I love shooting at targets i cant see, i always seem to get a point of marksmanship with the young mercs. when all is clear and only a few remain, the spotter can compromise position and take a kill before relocating.

Ive also taken out many a GR with dynamite traps. Set up a few with each at a different frequency all in a line in front of the group. use spotters on prone if you must. Shoot off a round and wait till they come looking, chuck a breaklight and use the dynamite to your advantage. well placed traps just outside your light's range will nail quite a few. Also, teh spotter, ive noticed, will be able to sneak in a shot or 2 if the final shots of your turn come from the big group. have one merc ready at the remote det's controls.

Is this all old news? i hope im not ranting about stuff everyone knows.
