I need a gruntier machine as it really is too low specs as it turns out.
Spend more time in load screens then anything else.
However it is the same XCOM and more as before. I got squad wiped in the second mission... the new taller redacted are a huge threat.
The standard grunts make you feel heroic. But you soon learn that this is still XCOM and that cover is king, and the non grunts can rapidly ruin your day if not handled properly.

"You did, sarge", said Polly." You said you were in few last stands."
"Yeah, lad. But I was holding the metal"

The art of war, then, is governed by five constant
factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations,
when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.
These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
(4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.

I was a little complacent and came very close to a total game failure. I wasn't paying too much attention and something snuck up on me, and before I knew it, I was in a life-or-death mission and the game was going "Know that people who lost half their torso? Throw them in battle, you are going to DIE, son!"
Luckily, I sent one of my soldiers on a YOLO mission, and they succeeded, whilst the other held down the fort. Managed to get them back alive too. Crispy, but alive.
