@above: O_O
In other news... I was walking the wastes when this preacher was wandering near me. Knowing cultists in games, I immediately persued him. When I kept running after him, he finally surrendered all his goods (including his clothes; I took his sweet blue sash that's actually an identifier of his religion that I don't believe in, so that's fucked up) and ran the other way. I had no idea way... Until I realized I was packing three guns (only one of whcih was actually loaded and two of which were hunting rifles), wearing a gasmask, and generally looking like Satan's hitman. Did I mention my character hasn't killed anyone except a dogman he wrestled to death then gave the security camera footage of said scene to a man in a sweet hat who gave him a pass to the only civilized city left on Earth from sheer awesomeness value?
It's nice being feared and hated without doing much of anything, really.

My squad just wiped out the alien base.

Two supports with laser rifles, an assault with a scatter laser, a sniper with a laser sniper rifle, and two heavies with standard LMGs. All in carapace armor, and the only injury (not worst injury, but ONLY injury) was one of the heavies getting hit by a Thin Man for 4 damage. Other than that, the aliens never landed a single hit. The sectoid commander did manage to mind-control the injured heavy, but it was already down to a single HP thanks to my sniper and the assault finished it with a laser pistol. 22 aliens dead and the wounded heavy didn't even have to spend a day in the medical wing.

Oh, and I pulled this off the day before several nations were set to pull out of XCOM. The worldwide panic reduction has probably saved this entire game.

Marched my army across the map for about 20 minutes wiping out two bases that kept rebuilding somehow. Spent another 20 fortifying two chokepoints with insane numbers of turrets. Eventually, I discover that all I missed from the last purge was a Plasma Generator in one base, and a Webway Gate in another.

So, me and two guys are exploring. We head to the spire in the hopes of iron armour.

We find a rather cocky (and stupid. Tried playing dumb when the death messages... yeah.) guy with an incredibly powerful bow, iron armour, sword, grenades galore etc.

I switch to asset denial mode, use up all my bandages, give him a few whacks and die in the end. Along with the other two people.

However, it seems between us we've crippled him an awful lot. The guy he first killed got back not long after we died and killed him. I heard him say something like 'I'm gonna fucking kill you' when I got there, before he was murdered by a guy with pancake in his name.

So, triple-teaming a guy in full iron with wooden swords CAN work.

My star squad is all wounded after a convoy mission and a shitstorm outside a Burger joint. Hoping I can have some easy days to rest and recupirate.

NOPE MOTHAFUCKING TERROR MISSION UP YO ASS.

What do I have for troops... oh shit. Three Squaddies(2 support 1 heavy), and a few rookies. Welp, I'm gonna die so hard. Skyranger takes off, packed to the gills with medkits and grenades. Land, its at some docks. Turn one, pop open the door to a big warehouse. End turn with everyone in overwatch, covering the door. Suddenly, two chissalids pop out. Overwatch kills one, and then I off the second on my next turn. Continue advancing as civvies die all around, spot and eliminate two floaters using pro flank tactics.

I reach the end of the dock, and trigger a pack of three. One pulls back, one moves up slightly, and one goes fuck it and vanishes. I manage to have my heavy and rookie take out the two that stayed, and suddenly the second appears, behind me. I can run the support duo up to him and kill him... and I won? FUCK YES

In the end 7 civvies died but I also won a terror mission with 3 squaddies and a rookie on CLASSIC without taking any damage. Did I mention this was my first game ever?

So I've got a good thing going.  I'm back in the swing of things, have a competent engineer sticking with me and a rotating set of newbies who at least listen when I tell them to do things.  Then I realize that I've straight forgotten about a ship, because no one uses it.  This is, of course, the Mobula.  Its got an awkward layout, its balloons are underneath it instead of above it, and its guns only point forward... but there are five of them.  So I decide to equip my Mobula, the Mobulus Strip, with three miniguns in the central slots, and two flamers on the side for emergencies.

Our Squid ally plays it very cautious from the beginning, waiting half a minute before entering the canyon.  Uncertain about my loadout, I stay in the back.  One Pyramidion turns the corner and shoots past us as we enter, the squid follows that, and as we turn to follow the squid a second Pyramidion flies over us.  I throw us into reverse so they overshoot us, and then my crew simultaneously opens fire with all three miniguns.  From each side and above I see a line of bullets converging on the enemy hull; even though the right gunner obviously doesn't know what they're doing we still take down the enemy armor in two seconds and from there they never recover.  The Squid also wins their fight.

The rest of the game went more or less exactly like that, with our ship scoring two more kills and no deaths.  In the final battle things got dicey as an enemy managed to get around our side but our quick thinking engineer grabbed a flamer and disabled them while the gunner fired the side minigun and the other engineer spammed "I need help repairing hull" in voice commands.  No one did help him, but we survived and scored the game ending kill so its all good.

To quote the engineer, "that worked suprisingly well".

Radiation, and then starving, and then more radiation. But not starving. Such is life in the zone.

It may not sound like an own, but after all this I'm not dead. Just barely, but I survived and got a good amount of money.

If that's the average size of your army, needs be you must look into Ultimate Apocalypse Mod. W40k is not W40k without unlimited amounts of troops.

That's not average, that's the maximum. Pop cap is 20 infantry/20 vehicles. Space and Assault Marines take 2 per squad, Terminators take 4. Dreadnoughts take 2 on the vehicle cap, Predators take 3, Land Raiders take 5.
