XCOM
Anybody have any good XCOM stories to share? Could be good, bad, embarrassing, whatever.
A couple of mine in the spoiler:
[spoiler]XCOM 1: I get to the very last mission in the game, and stack all my soldiers up before the throne room. My Brazilian assault man ate a couple plasma rounds a few rounds back, but otherwise the team was good health. I opened the door and sent all my team in in a tight formation. I put them all in good cover, deal what damage I can, and end the turn. The High Ethereal turns around and puts a psionic rift in the center of my formation, killing two thirds of them instantly. I reloaded my save.
XCOM 2: I run a rescue op to save a scientist with information on the location of the ADVENT regional HQ in Australia. In the fight through the prison, several brave Aussie rookies lose their lives. I free the scientist and gave him run to the extraction. I forget to kill one advent trooper, who takes an overwatch shot that kills the scientist in one hit. The mission fails and the three survivors evac in shame.
XCOM 2: A simple rookie training mission goes disastrously wrong when they get cornered by the berserker queen, a pack of chrysalids, and a faceless. There were no survivors. [/spoiler]

The ship gets shot down by ADVENT, cue the 'save the ship' mission, I send my most capable soldiers to fight. We destroy the jammer but at a huge cost, many soldiers perished, eventually all my frontline soldiers fall as we try to extract. One sniper witnessed it all, Zoe Robinson, she was the only one to make it out alive that day, she was sniping from the fortifications at the ramp. She is now a permanent character in my character pool, scarred and hiding in the shadows swearing revenge for those who died.
