Dark event where all the enemies ignore overwatch?!  Also, never leave your grappling guy up on a ledge by himself where nobody can reach him vs the assassin. Just figured that out on ironman

Well there goes my first campaign. Assassin showed up on the blacksite and murdered me. Turns out the claymore isn't a mine!

Apparently a skulljack will prevent one's soldier from going into conceal on a rescue mission. Had the 'High Alert' dark event running had to use conceal from the start. My specialist's conceal icon was grey out and the tooltip said something along the lines of 'unable to because soldier is carrying mission objective'.

You want facilities that can slot in engineers for that. I was rushing Squad Size 1, but I figured if I upgraded the power and comms then it wouldn't matter, that'd be enough gremlins. I'm not going to have gremlins for a while.  Has anyone tried the lab out to see how useful it is now?

So does the Chosen spawn every time you play a mission in their area? Because having to fight then every mission is going to get old fast.

I ended up with the assassin being weak to close-range attacks and my sniper being weak to being shot at from above. It's uh. Not great.

BigRed0427 posted:Ok, so im going a Psionic Transmitter mission and I think i missed what Central said. How do I delay the timer? It says network disconnect. There are little nodes you can shoot along the way which give you an extra turn. Also this expansion is great so far. Like, not enough so that I never want to work on Guerrilla War, but there's so much extra stuff in here to use now to flesh out the world, and the performance improvements are very welcome indeed.

The Psionic Transmitter missions can be pretty brutal. The Lost and Chosen showed up during my last one and those mini-transmitters all spawned in the least loving convenient places possible.

It puts a little icon over your path if it moves through enemy overwatch, or if your move will activate an enemy you can see. It saves you having to manually check every tile in between.

The Left Alt function is really ugly too, Gotcha is way smarter with its health plate integration.

That'd actually be really smart difficulty progression if the 'random' pros/con of Chosen where picked from a pool that got progressively nastier as you get closer to legendary.

Rangers, Templars and just get in her grill. Any attack within 3 tiles does +3 damage so a pistol sharpshooter can do some damage if you run them into her face and unload lightning hands and a normal shot. Also Templars are affected by Muton counter, found that out last night

I feel like for the first time I actually really need concealment rangers AND blademaster rangers. Too bad for me my only ranger blew up in a freak flamethrower accident.

Holy crap! I just had a supply raid with a sitrep called "Location Scout", which removed the fog of war so I could see everything! The mission became slightly trivial once I could snipe enemy groups from miles away.

Yeah, it's not impossible, I just don't ever feel as though I'm really exploiting the weaknesses and instead just pay the will tax then hunt them down inefficiently (they are also vulnerable to reapers so I can at least make use of that). I've not triggered the others so hopefully they will be a bit more interesting.

Also a 10% off voucher that I think is usable for any game "except selected titles" and doesn't expire for a month. All in all, not a bad deal for getting the expansion a few hours late.

There's... a lot going on in the campaign map now... Also, there really needs to be a 'stop, drop, and roll' action that consumes your turn but puts out fire.
