I have just made it half-way though one of the bloodiest months I have played on "X-COM:Enemy Unknown". It's like the game sense's that if it let's up for a few days, I am going to get my second wind and crush all opposition. I have had two UFO landing missions, another small scout that I shot down, 4 abduction missions, 1 terror mission and I also assaulted the alien base to get the panic levels down.

After that 4th abduction mission came swinging down when I was at my weakest, I had to ask the question if the game is trolling me or not...

I have over 500 alien alloys, 200 weapons fragments and tons of other stuff I will need later on. I am hurting bad after I lost three of my veterans with 5 going into critical care. Should I try it and risk losing 3 recruits and a newly minted squddie or just ignore it and hope panic levels don't go though the roof?

I am hoping that for the rest of the month after this, it's quiet and just lets my men get out of the hospital and get some new equipment researched...or this might be as far as I can go.
