First ever attempt at an alien base assault. (I'm new to original XCOM)
I have 14 of my best soldiers, first turn I get them all laid out nice and OCD like on the elevators ready to breach, I end the turn.
Alien turn:
Floater shoots 2 soldiers through the elevator floor.
One soldier gets mind controlled, shoots another 2 soldiers.
3 soldier panic, 1 of which goes berserk and kills a further 2 soldiers.
So I have 4 soldiers left who aren't panicking or killing everyone.
I ragequitted and started a new game.
Also, one thing i've learned to stop doing is putting my best soldiers at the top of the list so they come out of the skyranger first
So, what's your stories?
