XCOM: Enemy Unknown aka the one where Haphazard dies repeatedly

Most of the stuff which makes Impossible very hard is actually in the early game anyway:

Or...you could just finish this game on classic and start a new one on impossible. More reading matreial for all the lurkers!

If there's interest in playing an Impossible game next, I'd hold off bumping up now. Who'd be interested?

FYI, for lurkers (or players who haven't tried Impossible), there is a very highly likelihood that we would not win. One bad squad wipe in the early game pretty much means you'll lose. But I'm totally up for trying. Plus, we would definitely see a lot of casualties.

So in short, if there is not interest in a second Impossible SG, I think we can definitely bump up now. I'll wait a little longer to see what people think. If no response, I'll just bump up to Impossible before my mission and we can bump back down if needed.

I'd play in the glorious crash and burn of multiple impossible games. Let's finish this one out, since there's not much left to do anyways.

Agreed. We'd need a long list of volunteers to fill the body bags

Dazed, Take your time playing next round - I won't be able to do my turn until Monday night at the earliest

Good job sareln!

I think the issue with tasunke is just that we're talking a out a third string sniper now. Unless we royally good something up, we probably won't even need second string sniper!

4th actually, there's me and a free (forget who) from an abduction mission.

Count me in for trying a game on impossible after we finish this one.

Just thought of one problem with an Impossible SG. The first DLC content comes out on Tuesday and I anticipate it will make saves incompatible because it is not an optional component but will be integrated into the whole game. I am not excited about it it, to be honest, but I'll be purchasing it to support the game and encourage further DLC that will hopefully actually be useful

Which DLC is that again? The one with the special China missions and the early blaster launcher?

Yup.

I'm up for playing on impossible but I'm not particularly interested in the DLC.
