Hi fellas. Holy crap. Here I was, thinking (quite ignorantly, as it happens) that I was sitting pretty with a team equipped with wolf armor, a few buzzards, sweet plasma guns and a squad of captains, majors and one commander, with a scimitar as a bonus. I just got those plasma guns and had a few battles with them -- the first time I've used them actually. So an alien terror mission pops up and I'm not all that worried about it. I was so wrong There was like, more warriors that I could easily count, a few drones and a handful of alien boojums. The drones and the alien hover tank things blow up if you give them a dirty look, but the warriors... man, they are evil. They have reflexes like bruce lee, I was literally stacking grenades on them like I was playing Ikari Warriors. Now, difficulty is a fine thing keeps things interesting. But here is the troubling bit. They can fire their plasma shotguns 4 times per round, that is truly evil. Thats enough to turn hard cover to rubble and kill the guys hiding behind it. I lost two majors that way Three guys got crimson hearts the same way. To be specific here. One warrior across the street could take out the hard cover, and kill the guy hiding behind it in wolf armor in a single turn. That is rough because there isn't a lot you can do about that. This wasn't an isolated thing either, the whole time I was scrambling for (all distressingly temporary) cover. But at the end just about the whole map except for a few buildings were smoking ruins. Is that right? I mean I survived and won the day, but the whole thing felt pretty pyrrhic.
