SW47

After my elite squad was decimated in an attack on my first alien base (sebillian) I had to do a terror mission with a squad of all privates fighting approximately 18 or so aliens. Every one of them survived. Who needs majors when you can have blind luck?

Lesson Learned. The hard way. When I bought this game I thought it was a lot more forgiving than the original XCOM. Moments like that remind me otherwise. Moral of the story: Rockets are a backup, not a primary weapon. Oh, and not even a rocket to the face can kill a Russian.

I like that idea. Maybe something like that, and to take an idea from Lee Stephen's novella, maybe a roof hatch where aliens can emerge from with a height advantage? That would scare the ever-loving crap out of us, but get the adrenaline pumping!

Well, I disagree with the fact that yesterday I had a rocket trooper that was a major not only miss a nearby target, shooting his comrade point blank in the back of the head. An arming distance would certainly be nice! Oh, and the soldier firing the launcher was the only one lost on the mission. He was a little blood spot on the ground. When the mission ended, that bloodspot was listed as recovering for thirty or so days in the infirmary. Oh, logic. Such a wonderful thing.
