Considering it, indeed

I got chatter from Central saying that our extraction point was no longer viable and I'd have to secure a new one. The game gave me three waypoints. 1st was near the VIP location but also right behind the ADVENT reinforcement flare. 2nd was a short distance behind enemy lines, which would have meant my squad would have had to shield the VIP while he dashed past. 3rd was a distance back, closer to my entry point, but also high up and with the ladders on the far side of the building - so safest, but needed more turns to reach. Basically it was 1st point - 1 turn dashing. 2nd point - 2 turns dashing. 3rd point - 3 turns dashing. The moment I extracted from one, the other options went poof I chose the safest option which did result in one ADVENT officer surviving.

The extraction point makes a lot of difference. I had one on the roof of a tall building behind my squad. So I dashed the VIP there, knowing the route to be safe. But it meant that I had to slowly fall back with the squad while ADVENT pushed towards me. Had I selected the extraction point near to ADVENT's drop zone, I could have flanked them, taken them out and strolled up for the evac.

My extract VIP mission I barely made it to the evac zone. My ranger and grenadier had been covering the retreat and needed a full dash on the last turn to reach the rooftop evac. My mistake for choosing the "safe" evac point

Just rage quit out of XCOM2. Seriously annoying how often Central interrupts you with crap. Click scan. "Commander..." Listen to him prattle on. Click scan. "Commander..." Watch cutscene, do mission. "Click Scan. "Commander..." Listen to Bradley, watch cutscene, listen to Bradley. Click Scan. "Commander..." @*&%@ Off!

That's when I tried to do mine and it took ~50 mins

Central keeps shouting at you that enemy interceptors are inbound,and that your pilot will have to pull out or be shot down

Took me about 50 >

Before I go to bed. For the Mordheim players: Today's patch has really improved load times.

The Anatomy of an Ambush And when their reinforcements show up

XCOM 2 Post #1 Hack n' Slash When the smoke clears... ... Advent goes flying Cutting it close

Dawn of War 2 that had the Steam installer

XCOM 2

Yeah, been unpacking for 45 minutes now. The pre-load is like cake...

Imgur is not uploading all my screenshots. So you are cheated of more Mordheim wyrdstoneness

In before XCOM 2

My Smuggler got Brain Trauma First fight she kept running from the Skaven. She got cornered, but swapping to sword and dagger, and with help from a Sister Superior and Purifier, she cut a swath through the rats. Second fight she sighted the cult Magister. She took aim and shot true, crippling and stunning him as the skirmish's opening act. She placed a powder trap to cover her retreat, yet the Marauder just danced around it and with his sword arm, slicey dicey... and then the Chaos Spawn came bounding around the other corner and everything went black for her.

Trying out the new hired swords in Mordheim. My Sisters have hired on a gun-totting smuggler in a conquistador outfit.

It's just one soldier with some special look. Similar to how their previous game had the old UFO haircut as a dlc.

I'll play some before going to bed and report first impressions for you. That's what I call sacrifice

Purple Toe fought some Sisters of Sigmar outside the ruins of a nobleman's mansion. A lot of pain all around, but the Toe's archers managed to cover the severely wounded who needed to slink of into the shadows, while Fluffy bounced around slicing the weakened nuns to ribbons. Victory without any casualties was a surprise - there were some really close calls.

GMG just send me my key. Nice that they did manage to send them out early enough

Before we get swamped with XCOM 2 screenshots:

Finally got around to completing Boo Bunny Plague. This game makes Saints Row 3 and 4 seem serious. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
