---------- If you think falcons are a treat you should
wait for them to make a pop-up attack. You can't shoot
them before they make a pop-up attack.

-------- Since falcons have have a clear line of site
without pop-up marines also have a clear line of site
so if they have first fire order they can shoot at the
falcons before they make a pop-up attack.
