You are so many years late but better late then never. This is how I felt right after Xcom 2 release once first Long War was released.My Long War playthrough continues. This is just a great game. Typical missions have 5 soldiers minimum, often 6, sometimes 7 and a few times 8. There is a huge variety of mission types with all the special missions on top of the basic ones, and the infiltration system is fantastic.
What I love the most is that this is an XCOM-like that actually forces you to use an incredibly deep roster of varied soldiers built very different. This is my current roster:
You need all those guys because you'll want to be running 2-3 ops at any given time + you need soldiers for very tasks like covert ops, haven advisors etc.
The above roster has even been cut down some since I just had a fairly catastrophic mission leaving my memorial like this:
Because I'm playing completely blind on Ironman, I lost a few guys.
Anyway, huge fun. Can recommend. Very polished.
Being late is a strategy. LWotC just got an update this winter, and it's a pretty great one. I'm enjoying the changes.
