Going on a landed UFO mission. It starts off with a cyberdisk on turn 2. Ok, fine, that's why I have a Heavy with HEAT ammo and a rocket. Boom, sniper finishes it off. Cool.
Before my next turn,
two more cyberdisks show up. From slightly separate directions. And my heavy can't see any of them. So I try to flank around with my assaults. Cue a pack of Mutons and a Berzerker showing up in the middle of everything.
It's bad. Really bad. But I have some decent cover and my troops are in good shape.
Then a Cyberdisk explodes a set of rocks an Assault and Support were hiding behind. Followed by the assault getting shot in the face by a drone and killed. Then the other cyberdisk moves around to my heavy and takes her out before she even gets her overwatch shot. She's just down and not out, so I have the Support stabalize her.
I'd rather not lose a Colonel Heavy, so I see if I can salvage the situation. My sniper decides to be useless, though, and despite a few good shots on the cyberdisks I can't quite take them out.
This is rapidly followed by both remaining Assaults getting gunned down. With just a sniper and a squaddie Support left, I'm forced to withdraw. Four good soldiers dead and nothing to show for it.
