Well, in a normal level mission against a light scout, I came back with three critically wounded, and one soldier very lucky to be alive. Very lucky indeed as he practically tripped on one of them at the end of a turn.
Caesians use the defensive cover well.
All of the live ones were out of the ship
They attacked in numbers
They were in sneakier positions (farm map)
They supported each others fire
I'm glad 3 of the 7 died in the crash.
I'm glad that sniper rifles have been buffed a little in damage. That probably saved a life or two.
I was a little more aggressive than usual, but not terribly, so a pleasant (and yet unpleasant at the same time ) surprise.
I may have to invest in some armour in this build.
