My most epic XCOM battle yet

I've left this campaign for a while, but continuing it now with an operation to extract a VIP in Mexico. My live stream is at DLive

Yesterday's mission was not the best outcome. Although we managed to stop the dark event, the whole mission was disrupted by game bugs. I ended up losing a soldier, and it annoys me to think that it may

ADVENT are periodically engaged in counter-insurgency operations called "Dark Events". Whenever they complete these operations, they get a bonus for about a month or so. For example, today they

Second mission in Western Europe. This is potentially the start of a liberation campaign, and we have a better chance of succeeding at it than yesterday's mission. My live stream is at DLive

Retaliation! I was not expecting this. I thought New Mexico had low enough Advent Activity that we could avoid something like this happening for a while. Advent are attacking my haven and all my volunteer

The liberation of Western US is finally in progress. This is going to be a tough one though. Without much time to infiltrate, I was forced to send our elite Shinobi 2nd Lt Dubois solo on this one. If things

I'm fumbling my way through this campaign at the moment. We've taken losses but it's more or less being kept together. I'm not making much progress liberating regions though, nor making my way to slow

So the last mission was a disaster but I don't think it was my fault. The game screwed me over by giving me faulty info or by triggering the enemies when it shouldn't have. Check out yesterday's stream

Even routine missions can go badly wrong. In the last mission we nearly killed our own soldier in friendly fire. We were lucky to escape with everyone alive, because she didn't die instantly and was instead

Long War really lives up to its name, it's a long war and that means many routine missions. This is just one such mission. We're in New Mexico with a squad of 6, to extract an item from an Advent train.

I feel like this campaign is back on track now. We have a whole bunch of new recruits after those two successful jailbreaks and we have resources coming in. We're a little short on intel, but we have some

This is the second jailbreak in a row. The last one was pulled off perfectly with only a two-person squad. This one is basically the same circumstances, only in Western US instead of Mexico and we have

My biggest problem in the campaign right now is a shortage of manpower; in particular I've allowed my Shinobis and Specialists to be killed or captured, and those are the two most crucial classes since

The last mission was reasonably successful. We lost a single haven volunteer, which is a much better outcome than is common for Data Tap missions. Now we're back in the quiet of Western US, to steal some

Oh shit!! Advent are attacking the haven in New Mexico. I think this operation was initiated before I reduced the strength there last mission, so there is a silver lining here, but ultimately there is

Despite liberating the Eastern US, this campaign has taken a turn for the worse lately. A two man mission ended with the loss of both valuable soldiers, and my last mission had to be cut short due to being

So yesterday's mission was a disaster. Two soldiers lying bleeding out on the ground at the end. I could have saved one of them but risked trying to save both, and lost. Let's try and stop the downward

We return to our regular programming after Shen's Last Gift was a smooth success as expected. This time we're rescuing a sniper from an Advent Prison in the Western US. Although it's the region we're planning
