good episode If you remember, can you tell me why at 46:10 you didn't send Calvin Mercer to flank the glitched sectoid and end the mission on that turn?
Since it was glitched I couldn't figure out how to get a flanking shot. So i just moved in closer to box it in. I tried with the scout but it claimed it was in cover.
@@dukegrimm2358 Hey thanks for the quick response! I should probably clarify what I was talking about. Here's a screenshot imgur.com/Ngw5xOu. Clearly the scout didn't flank because the invisible cover was between the sexoid and the scout. You can tell from the way the sexoid was leaning against it. But you then could've sent the PFC Mercer beyond that invisible wall on the same side as the sex-toid, and as long as you're on an adjacent tile to the enemy, it will always count as a flank shot even if there is another wall between the two units.
March 14 and all soldiers are tired .... you still don't see that you need twice as many soldiers ... I would already restart the campaigns. March, April, May are the easiest months ... when the alien level is 10 - you will have a 3sectopod on scaut ufo. Mution elite or outsider leader scores 20-30dmg. 1 Cyberdisk(ignore caver and deal 12dmg twice and have sentinel) an alien base assault can kill the entire sqad - and this one must be attacked in June at the latest - May preferred - the attack base itself lasts 40-80 turns so you have exhausted 8 soldiers for 30+ days.
It's still the first month, except for abduct/request rewards there is no way to get more troops. Even if I use all my starter credits on recruits I'd still only get maybe three by end of month.
I guess you say you'll skip fiew mission. In LW ry, you only fight against one thing and you should focus 100% of your attention on that - alien level. I suggest that you read about it in Wikipedia and, most importantly, learn about the alien level formula. Thanks to that you will know that on such a high level of difficulty you need to have 2 alien base assault done and be close to gasuss technology before it hits the 5 alien level.Alien level 5 ... is a turning point - a huge leap in difficulty.

Yeah that probably could have worked. I just played it safe rather than risk it glitching more and leaving the rookie exposed.

@@Unionleto How do you have that many people in your barracks so early? Your events only show you have 12 incoming soldiers, not 30!
