I remember doing an underground map.... they are definitely pretty intimidating. I succeeded, but I know I took some casualties. IIRC, the path to success was paved with grenades.
Regardless, it was a Pyrrhic victory. We took losses that we couldn't easily replace and before long the aliens were knocking at the doors of my severely understaffed base. We lost, but it was epic.
*Makes note to redownload the game and set aside some play time.
Edit: If anyone wants to see what's coming up in 2.3, you can find development builds here, just be aware that they're not considered stable releases.
