Im going to try again tonight hopefully.
1. discard all supplies! (everything needed can be reclaimed in a mature fort)
2. take only weapons/shields/ammo, maybe a wardog, hehe
3. use remaining points for skills
4. make 6 warriors and one utility.
5. make and arm squad on embark.
6. use squad movement to mico them and dispatch enemies one by one.
Lost 3 dwarves. 4 left, only 1 can walk, but we have settled in the main area below ground level.
There is miasma everywhere and lots of ghosts, but we are home
