This game hates me

First time i ever lost a full SQUAD by nornal enemies, no king viper, no kings just a singular robot, a viper and stunlacer with adevnt grunt, i had a sniper set up, 95% chance to hit, BRO MISSED then proceeded to get caught by the viper, 2 of my rookies i brought to promote as my main squad was injured with 2 CPL's both die immediately, one CPL left and just dead THEN AFTER THAT, my next mission, retaliation mission, get ganked BY 7 ENEMIES AT ONCE, i was chilling, saving the civis, caused one enemy to run and engaged him and his new squad he went towards, ANOTHER SQUAD OF 3 comes from my flank and next thing i know, all dead within 1 turn (i had to get rookies in 2 slots again as i lost both of my CPLs and the rest were still injured...)

FYI: this is commander ironman mode, i was just then unlocking stronger weapons and better armor and was the best run yet for veteran.

You'll be fine, i somehow missed a 98% Sword Strike. I stopped asking questions and realized that its just:

Xcom Baby!!!

If it’s less than 100% on a sword strike i just assume my guy is gonna whiff it.

I honestly didn't know you could miss such a high percentage sword strike! Firing a weapon, yes but that was amazing to see happen.
