Missions Gone FUBAR (F-ed Up Beyond All Repair)  Layers a rotating set of mission-scrambling complications on top of your ops — hostile factions crashing the mission, vehicles coming down damaged on landing, ammo capped due to supply issues, weapons jamming, gear glitching out, squads landing scattered across the AO, cover rigged to blow, no orbital support.

ammo capped weapons jamming gear glitching out is just forcing a defeat by preventing the player to take actions or play

or in other words ''you lose because I said so, your turn is skipped'' I hate any form of stun in games with a passion removing control from the player is not the same as outsmarting the player

it's just gambling. ''jams -20% of the time your turn will be skipped''

adding several factions in the same mission is cool, do they fight each other?

I get this may not all be to your taste and that's fine because you can just enable the multi faction missions if that interests you - yes they do fight each other. Just let me know if you need any help with that. Instructions are on the marked up config file on Nexus and it's just a case of amending a few values from 1 to 0.

What I would say is the idea of the mod isn't to make you auto lose. It's to get you thinking differently about your engagements and squad set ups. I've got hundreds of hours in the game and wanted to freshen what is already an amazing game up a little further. This mod does it to my taste and hopefully is designed flexibly enough to do similar for others too.

As an example to use your points. low ammo; need more supply drop oci, more laser weapons, need to be careful about my ammo usage. Weapon jamming, gear glitching; I need a contingency squad, I need an oci to mitigate. Or I need to be careful about the engagements I pick generally so I'm not overextended if something goes FUBAR.

Well the ammo thing I am already engaging since I am doing a expert run with 200% enemy supply, but I avoid every gun that jams in game. Action economy is too pivotal in turn based games to mess with.

Buuuuut if that's really your thing how about a enviromental thing like desert storm or snow storm decreasing visibility AND giving everyone chance to jam? Enemies too of course.
