So, after a
FUCKING SURPRISE THIN MEN
incident that caused a code black with my best squad during a bomb disposal mission, I immidiatly get a terror mission. Luckily the autoloaders and weapon gyros had just enough time to finish being built, so I was able to deploy two SHIVs that could actually kill things. I had one medic who was combat available, and three PFCs. I deploy, and immediately have to start fighting a squad of floaters. Right when I nearly finish them off another squad of floaters appears, flanking my position. I successfully redeploy, using my SHIVS as bait to keep them from taking cover, even thou both are severely damaged. Right when I nearly finish off the last floater, one of my SHIVs spots a pod of chryssalids in a nearby building. My second SHIV is one tile away from the last floater, and to far away to be of assistance, so I have it go ahead and finish it off. The chryssalids are about ten tiles away from my squad, who is taking cover behind a series of cars. I have one throw a flashbang, and the other two throw AP grenades. Two of the chryssalids are killed, and my SHIV fills a third with many bullets. My fourth squadmember has no grenades, and can't get a shot off at the last chryssalid, due to stuff being in the way. I sadly have to put her in overwatch, and consign her to death. The chryssalid runs straight towards her, activating the overwatch. I watch in horror as I see "Lightning Reflexes" appear over the chryssalid. She then proceeds to actually hit it, gaining a promotion.
