And this was how I managed to get a massive amount of resources at the cost of two of my best soliders and a SHIV. Six fucking outsiders man.
In LW you need an A-team, a B-team, a C-team, and probably a D-team.
D is for disposable, like all rookies are.
C is for Chyrssalids, who are laying eggs in the sniper.
B is for brain'd by berserkers.
A is for almost wiped out.
Now you know the XCOM a b c's.

Managed to save 9 (iirc) civilians, and 4 of the 7 guys I sent on that mission got promoted and none took any damage, but that was still nerve wracking.
I. Hate. Chyrssalids.
With a burning passion.
And that children is why Mexico now belongs to the invaders. Those damn xenos can eat all the burritos they want, see if I give a shit.
