It finally did it. Long War 2 had a mission I couldn't beat but all things considered survived it very well with no casualties for my squad.
Went like this. The alien regime discovered and did an all out attack on a resistance haven in Ireland. I freak out and abort a mission with my best squad so I can save my loyal and most useless rebels. Deploy my badass squad at full strength of eight (my sniper was sadly wounded prior) plus one decent sniper from another squad.
My objectives were to keep the extraction point secured and rescue the survivors. Simple enough right? Seemed that way at first. Within the span of eleven turns things went to absolute hell. First two or three turns was spent mopping up ADVENT forces as they landed around me. Then they started fucking teleporting scary ass aliens around the map. My stomach dropped seeing chryssalids and beserkers for the first time in Long War 2. I put all my effort into wiping these out in the first turn they spawned, because I knew the two (one) shot potential they have.
Eventually I had like four chryssalids, four ADVENT shitfucks, another beserker and a MEC right on my ads in all directions. So I could either risk my luck and maybe only lose like four or five of my best soldiers and maaaayyybe survive that attack or retreat my entire unit in one turn.
In the end only my SPARK and "main character" were lightly wounded.
