Well, back to the drawing board. This run through on C/I netted me too many assaults and no heavies or snipers and I just couldn't manage it with just assault/rookie teams. Ran into a mission early called portent that is too tight of a map to properly flank on (a complaint I have about many of the maps, particularly the urban ones), with high buildings the thin men have on trouble jumping up no top of for yet another buff, and this pretty much put an end to this campaign with half the squad killed I dusted off and abandoned the mission.

Getting back to base I decided with no one ranking up and w/o the right classes this was probably headed quickly towards disaster.

But hope springs eternal, started a new one and the first couple of missions have gone well, but best of all, I've got a sniper and a heavy. So, we'll see how this one goes!
