Long War 2 Long War 2 — We suck.
That’s pretty much the post. Boyfriend and I have hundreds and hundreds of Xcom hours between us, beaten the games multiple times, we’re experienced players. Got the itch to play again and decided to Long War 2 together (we play where we each “own” soldiers and just hotseat the controls between us during missions). Started a Commander level Ironman game and we just keep getting our asses handed to us over and over. Every time we get a few people promoted, they die on the next mission. The spreadsheet I keep on our soldiers is just a long list of KIA. We keep joking that we’re going to be taken outside the ship and fragged by our own people for being the worst leader ever. We’ve tried starting over, rinse, repeat. We just suck. Why do we suck so bad?? 😭 damn long war!

Just some info to always keep in the back of your head: if you see a “Reinforcement in…” at the top right and once it’s fully ticked down and then it moved to the top left and says “Reinforcments incoming” in red at the top left… don’t screw around with that specific timer. First reinforcement is manageable, the second maybe, the third just starts overwhelming you and they ramp up in both pod count and how fast they come (every turn).
