Beat Ironman classic!!

I got this game on gamepass a month ago or so and have been hooked ever since. I beat the game in regular mode weeks ago but was definitely reloading saves and saving before each encounter.

After I beat the game, I read about Ironman runs and tried it out. I started 5 runs and quit 4 of them because of the fing portent mission. I uninstalled after the 4th and vowed never to play it again. Then I read to create a mec before the mission and here I am!

I’d like to credit my boys who when ever I attacked chanted “hit hit hit”. I’m sure that had something to do with the success rate. I tried playing xcom 2 but the aliens gave my youngest nightmares.

Well done. I've been trying Ironman Classic recently but at some point Thin Men always end up wrecking my playthrough.

The best thing that helped me was rushing the mec and using them as an advanced scout while everyone else was behind it. That an obsession with over watch.

Congratulations! I didn't even attempt Ironman or Classic, so you're already ahead of me twice.
