TFTD is officially kicking my ass.
First artifact mission (these are two part missions like Cydonia). I make it through the first part losing only 2 men. On my second turn in the alien "base" I killed 6 or 7 and had some of them panicking. I'm feeling pretty good about this mission.
Then it all went to hell on the aliens' second turn. An aquatoid shoots a stun bomb into the room I have 7 soldiers and knocks them all out. To make matters worse, one had a primed grenade in hand and so that killed himself and 5 of his unconscious squadmates. Two more in another room went down to a tentaculat. The three still standing panicked or went berserk.
Two of the panicked soldiers were still on the floor above the action near the escape point so at this point I'm just thinking, "One of you stop panicking and let's get the hell out of here." And one of them did stop panicking, but not before his teammate went berserk and shot him in the back. Then on the next turn to end the mission, that guy panics, drops down the elevator, and walks right into reaction fire. MISSION OVER.
Guess it will teach me to hold primed grenades on the aliens' turn. Soldier goes down killing himself and 5 teammates and loses us the mission. Would you expect anything less from Jar Jar Binks?
