It's murder on the eyes in terms of the font. But fine otherwise.

How about a table then?

Spoiler: Units (click to show/hide)

I'm already digging the table's looks.

That's good. Also, what does the enemy's name color in the target section mean? Cover or no cover?

If there's an enemy in sight, don't end your turn out of cover.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

God help us if we have to agree on pizza toppings at some point. There will be no survivors.

Adrienne, if you take that heavy cover spot I left open near me, hopefully you can blow that drone out of the sky.  If so, we've got a lot better odds against that sectoid.

If he has more buddies, Pierre's in a lot of trouble.

So, again I must address the experts of Long War. What am I hoping for? What class will allow 'speed to be my shield'?

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

Scout is nice for that: the basic perk is "Lightning Reflexes", which pretty much let you ignore overwatches. You also have one of the most varied arsenal of the game, as you can equip pretty much everything but machine guns and full-length sniper rifles.

Altenatively, Assault's basic ability is "Run & Gun", which let you dash and then fire. Perfect for flanking enemies with a shotgun.

If you've rolled tactical, go Assault, absolutely.  Run up and shotgun aliens in their face-equivalent.  Get first pick of the good armors, typically.

Also, I'd like to point out that the first four promotions are guaranteed to be one from each supra-class in the real game.


Also, that injury roll for me.

Yeah, if you want speed, go for assault. They also make the best covert operatives (do we have EXALT in the game?)
