There's a bug in the game (at least that's how I call it) so that any soldier who's mind-controlled during the last turn will be lost, regardless of whether you win or lose. And somtimes there's no way around it, because if you don't kill the mind-controlling alien it keeps controlling your man every turn, and if you do then you win the battle, it's over and you lose your man. :angry:

I get around that by finding the last alien and surrounding it with as many troops as possible, eventually you will cause it to panic or go beserk meaning it wont be able to MC the trooper and means you can end the battle quickly.

Either that or throw a grenade off to one side and wound it causing it to panic

Personally i dont like having any troops killed psi-strong or not because by the time you start fighting aliens with real psi skill like the etherals you've already had the troops for about 6 months which means it'll take any replacement another 6 months to get to the same skill level.

Plus i name my troops and losing one feels personal
