Last night I started new game, great feeling. After small edit of the base, sell and purchase, I monitored UFO activity (very important to do, in the order to spot UFO base) and most of it was far away from my first base, which was stationed in Europe.
Later they spotted UFO near base so I send my troops to their first mission.
Soon as they exited spacecraft, first alien walked in the front of them, unaware of their presence. He was wounded, but later killed as he tried to hide. Another one of them got what he deserves in local bard, while rest of them hide inside they space craft.
Great opportunity to sneak behind their back, throw grenade and have them all killed.
And this is where it all begun!
My soldier was holding grenade in one hand when he opened the door. Hi spotted 4 sectoids, 3 turned back to him and one watching him. Breave as he was, he throw grenade between them, which triggers first one to shoot, but instead in to the soldier, he shot his friend in the front of him. While my soldier tried to escape, another shoot, and again it killed another alien.
As soon as my soldier was out of the spacecraft, he run away far as he can run.
Explosion killed rest of other 2 sectoids, but navigation and alien energy source were intact.
I love this game.
