No I will admit the aliens are very ham fisted and kind of silly in their attempts to make humans like them

But I just assume that they are just past the point of subtly. They aren't trying to convince anyone, just keep the people who already are convinced, convinced.

Well they do offer some kickass medical know how that makes cancer go poof.

True, but the price is getting your brain chipped.

: PANZER? THAT SOUNDS LIKE A NAZI NAME TO ME, SONNY.

That's the way I read it, yeah. Kinda makes sense; they get out of shaken by succeeding in missions and not getting hurt, so they're basically getting their confidence back plus some extra hardening.

So are there rocket launchers that replace the grenade launcher, or do you guys just not know the difference between the two?

So I had a pretty frustrating mission called Operation Death Star. In most ways it was a resounding success; I skulljacked my first officer with an expendable rookie (pro tip: skulljacks have the same sort of charge mechanics as swords do, so you can move your maximum range and still use it in a single turn, sometimes around cover), who then inexplicably survived despite the Codex spawning in a flanking position and other enemies showing up. I had an amazing Overwatch turn in which a stun lancer and a sectoid dropped from an overpass and were blown out of the air. I even killed the Codex without any casualties.
So why was it frustrating? Because the original mission objective was to steal some Advent supplies from a transport vehicle, which exploded at the beginning of the turn that I was going to reach said supplies. Despite all the primary objective progress I made, the mission was technically a failure due to that.

One of my soldiers got wrapped up and crushed to death by the new snektit enemies. It's how she would have wanted to go, probably.

If you like hard cider, give perry a shot. It's basically cider made with pears, and it's the only kinda of alcohol so far that I actually drink without mixing with other things

Yeah, it seems to choose one of your own soldiers. My (so far only) grenadier has been on the splash screen at least once.
