If you have a continent that is let's say 1 space from orange.

After Global defense, 10 ufo's remain on that continent. (later they are moved to orbit i know)

You increase the panic level by 1 and 9 panic levels are "tanked" ?

Exactly. Of course, next round, you're going to have to do something to avoid losing to mass panic.

That's convenient, especially on the turn the Final Mission comes along
