Let me start off by saying I love this mod, and can never go back to the vanilla game! On my first attempt at attacking an alien base I'm feeling great! Got my A Team in The Band of the Hawk strapped to the max and ready for whatever!! Long story short, we weren't ready for whatever. The mission ended in about 3-4 turns with me leaving with 2 survivors. Feeling like a complete failure I immediately send a second team in. To my surprise in the few hours it took the new team to get there the base is completely different. However the outcome to this assault was the exact same except 3 men made it back (yay!) At this point I just want to see what it looks like to get past one or two rooms. So I send in a third team. Mostly scrubs and two vets on the brink of death. Well we get there and guess what happens this time! Everyone dies in a corridor! So could someone do me a solid and let me know the secret to these things? Even though the mod is harder than the base game I haven't really expirienced this much difficulty yet. Vanilla game I have no problem attacking bases. But here once I open that first door it's a wrap. Also if someone could tell me what weapons you use to kill the big alien (no idea what it's called, looks kindve like xeno but not really) it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for the help! Your input will help save millions of lives!
