Man my math was off in that last comment.. 80 hours maybe, and that turned into 200 because I tried to build a fishing world before I focused on the last 100 quests. Now for the expert mode Moonlord... yay.

Fishing achievement... ... 24 mins between quests, 200 quests... 4800 minutes, yeah 40 hours for that one alone...

Codex my new worst enemy... I was doing great in the mission, then the codex pops up.. the sniper OW reaction shot hits for sub optimal as she closes on my injured rookie, then she creates a clone. I am thinking 'hey cool kill the original and the clone should drop like the sectoid zombies, yes?' NO! In 2 rounds, my sniper and one of my rookies go down as I takeout the original. Finally, my specialist gets the first hit on the clone who had spawned with the health of the original at the time the clone was created. (-3 from the OW shot my sniper took!) Then my specialist is one shoted with a crit, leaving my last injured rookie sitting there looking like a bullseye. The clone misses while I am contemplating how much I hate Random(), and my trooper gets a lucky crit ends the mission, 3 troopers KIA from the clone. Buy XCOM 2, it makes you really understand what random means. :D

X-Com 2! - There goes my life for a while.

your the one, you make war time so much fun!

XCOM - Lone Wolf brief from ViciousCrow's guide... Using an Assault Squaddie with default load out. Basically, I ran around the perimeter of the map until I found the downed ufo. First group was encountered -- two sectoids, and with RnG on the second movement, got partial cover with flanking and eliminated one of them. Next move, got a second cover with flanking and finished the other one. Finally I headed up to the craft in three moves, and triggered the second group of two sectoids but not the overlord. I backed off for a full cover spot, but the boosted sectoid got a lucky shot on me for 3 damage (had 6 health). Then, I move a got solid flanking 74% shot on the boosting alien and killed him with crit, thereby eliminating both. Stayed in cover and reloaded. On the next turn I stepped up to opening, triggering the overlord. He took cover within 5 steps of me on the reaction move. I RnG again, and moved to flank and took him out with a crit one a 100%/60% shot. Done.

Awe Yeah level 1-29 in one go with no revives AND Solo!! booyah... now back to rushing into the battles. ;)
