Major Kelly

I want to go at them with a tank! Anyway, I just entered this mission in Russia and have attempted it 3 times. As soon as my operators are on the LZ I am engaged. I tried sweeping back into the far corner but have one alien in this corner of which I dispatch quickly. I then place the operators in a defensive parimeter. Four men are armed with PSG I 's and 2 have the light anti tank weapons, one has the basic laser. Reason is I only have one. Three are armored with heavy armor, the rest are wearing the next up from light armor. The aliens seem to be armed with at least three area effect launchers that smoke my guys. I have managed to make it through the LZ once with one survivor... I'm sure that won't be enough for the base assault. I am stumped at this point thnking that I need to just let this mission alone for a while while my R & D picks up some better gear... I sure wish we could call in air support on this jokers! Oh, I am playing on medium... Did I mention that this game ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!! I am an old Xcom fanatic and let me tell you... "U.F.O. Aftermath" is just the bomb!!!
