These pictures should illustrate the Free Martians' typical tactics. They have three troop types: Lanceatores, Venatores, and Scutatores. I've painted them green, purple and blue, respectively. The Lanceatores have long-ranged, high RoF fire, but are not very mobile. The Venatores have medium-to-short ranged guns, and are highly mobile. The Scutatores have stronger energy shields and melee weapons.
In the attack, the Lanceatores lay down suppressing fire from a distance. The Venatores close to firefight distance, while the Scutatores flank for the kill.
This picture shows an attack by a Martian squad on some colonials. The
Lanceatores are left in place behind. The Scutatores and Venatores are in a manuevering group within command distance of the Sergeant:

A squad attacks. |

A platoon attacks. |

The Martians defend. |
Now, the tricky bit will be write rules in which these tactics are both possible and effective.
