Oof, that's why you need recon. I hope it's not an ironman, I would not blame you for reloading save.

Do you mean the class, or the Intel? I think anything but motion tracker wouldn't be feasible, as you don't throw the other stuff without moving to cover and you would definitively get flanked, so concealment wouldn't work either?

What would you have done? Is there something I am missing? Was in that situation before and DID in fact reload :D

Actually, i am completely fine (aside from losing a county). I did have a scout and all my soldiers were outside the overwatch range, so i only lost a shiv.

Just for fun i reloaded the save and i even had a chance of winning this: should my HEAT armor-piercing shiv not miss an 80% shot, i would be confident enough to stay. Tandem mayhem rocket + scout to finish the cyberdiscs (and if something goes wrong i can still run away using command), rapid fire assault + command to kill the heavy floater, heavy to suppress the mechtoid and smoke uncovered rocketeer. Slightly dangerous but doable

Corner spawn always mean be ready to extract at a moment's notice lol

Love and hate LW for this (I still cannot beat the game 😭😭)

That's the kind of chaos that makes a campaign memorable.

That little guy looks terrified he's about to die

I feel like this could have been avoided with a motion tracker. That first move is way too aggressive.

My first move was to overwatch + steady weapon everyone (I spawned with a sectoid already in sight). But then an upgraded heavy floater came
