-- General ---------------------------------------------------

 21 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 20 of those were killed.

 1 souls destroyed the Mastermind...
 1 killed the bitch and survived.

--------------------------------------------------------------

First time I won. A few times I did get lucky, for example surviving the wall and getting a heavy amount of power cells for the BFG.

However, the two main reasons, in my opinion, why I won are:
1) Getting a Minigun in Deimos.
2) A part near the end nearly killed me. Namely, almost immediately after landing I got swarmed by former sergeants led by AT LEAST 1 Arch-Vile. I got very close to dying with no way of healing. I ran into a small house and inside I found a large med-pack (Which I did'nt use) and a large health globe. The health allow me to survive. After the minigun ran out of ammo (The nano pack backfiring on me there), I broke out the BFG 9000 and blasted most of the enemies to the deepest reaches of...wait...

Anyway, BFG in hand, took on the Spider Mastermind and won. Barely.

Before I try the harder difficulties and the other paths, probably gonna win at least once more.

Does anyone have any hints for an aspiring soldier like me?

First, congratulations on your first win!

There are way too many ways to win this game. Some builds I used for some good effort:
- If you want to try some serious shotguns, try Army of the Dead build. Double this with trying to get as close to enemies as possible, and learn cornershotting. Getting some movement speed for the bosses and something more powerful than a regular shotgun helps a lot.
- If you are going for a UV game, Angel of Max Carnage with a Cateye build may give you a good headstart. Survive first two levels, and then you are able to pick enemies before they even see you.
- You may also want to try a melee build - once you get the chainsaw and learn how to avoid sergeants, you are pretty much fit for a win.
- Pistols can also be very powerful. A Sharpshooter build takes some time to get rolling, but once you get this trait, you can kill pretty much everything non-boss before it can even react.

And of course, find your own playstyle which suits you the best, and remember the basic rule of all roguelikes - die and learn :).

I'd say try out the different weapon-restricted challenges (including Max Carnage for rapid fire weapons and Pacifist to learnt how to run). It will teach you how to use every weapon type and despite being restrictive with little to or no advantages, I've always found the challenges easier than the standard game, since there are no distractions and you can focus on getting the max out of the weapon you have.
