Anybody have any good XCOM stories to share? Could be good, bad, embarrassing, whatever.
A couple of mine in the spoiler:
[spoiler]XCOM 1: I get to the very last mission in the game, and stack all my soldiers up before the throne room. My Brazilian assault man ate a couple plasma rounds a few rounds back, but otherwise the team was good health. I opened the door and sent all my team in in a tight formation. I put them all in good cover, deal what damage I can, and end the turn. The High Ethereal turns around and puts a psionic rift in the center of my formation, killing two thirds of them instantly. I reloaded my save.
XCOM 2: I run a rescue op to save a scientist with information on the location of the ADVENT regional HQ in Australia. In the fight through the prison, several brave Aussie rookies lose their lives. I free the scientist and gave him run to the extraction. I forget to kill one advent trooper, who takes an overwatch shot that kills the scientist in one hit. The mission fails and the three survivors evac in shame.
XCOM 2: A simple rookie training mission goes disastrously wrong when they get cornered by the berserker queen, a pack of chrysalids, and a faceless. There were no survivors. [/spoiler]
